Phillipian Satire: Perfect Lawning Day

1:00 AM: Practice wrist flicks in my room while watching professional spikeball film. I always hear my house counselor practicing these with his wife in the room over, but I haven’t ever seen him on the Great Lawn. 

5:00 AM: Homework.

5:00:01 AM: Finished up my Art assignment. I love Senior Spring!

7:30 AM: Fuel up. I’m the person eating the egg whites at Commons.

8:30 AM: Attend Japanese 100. I can’t wait to put on my XXXXS maid costume #kawaii

10:00 AM: Lawning

12:00 PM: Commons does not provide nearly enough protein for my high-maintenance caloric needs (the average match burns around 300 calories, mostly from yelling at your partner), so I DoorDash. 

12:05 PM: DoorDash driver drives onto the great lawn and dents the globe, creating an alcove for couples to nest. However, the show must go on. 

12:30 PM: As the DoorDash driver’s smoldering body is extricated from the globe and into a waiting ambulance, my partner (Mr. Capano), and I advance to the round of 16. 

4:00 PM: Mr. Capano and I advance to the Spikeball finals.

4:05 PM: Tough luck. We get beat out by the Bancroft Elementary team.

4:20 PM: The Northeastern Spikeball Alliance rescinds my commitment. Frickin’ grade deflation man. 

4:21 PM: After watching a Kobe Bryant edit I am back on the grind. 

4:22 PM: A passing helicopter makes me sad. It’s time for a break. Let me do some homework. 

7:05 PM: I forgot to drop physics 553 so i just finished 2 hours of homework. I head out to the lawn to keep training. 

7:11 PM: The sun sets. Spike ball now switches to shirts vs skins mode.
