Cup Stacking

Beta Club requires a lot of community service so that you can receive points that are critical for remaining in the club. You have to earn a certain number of points by the end of the year and if you don't you are kicked out. I, unfortunately, don't have as many points that I should have at the moment. I decided that I should probably sign up to volunteer for something or I might be on probation. Mrs. Jarboe presented an idea to us that seemed pretty cool at the time. She asked if anyone wanted to judge a cup stacking competition at Audubon Elementary. I thought it would be easy and fun to watch little kids stack cups. How hard could it be, I mean the kids were like 8 years old. Oh my how wrong that turned out. These kids take cup stacking very seriously and I never realized how intense that it was. I was afraid that I might mess up the judging so I was really nervous before going to the school. I had to wake up really early which had already put me in a bad mood and my head was killing me. Just so you know, the sound of cups clacking together does NOT help a headache. I watched these kids furiously stack cups for about 6 hours straight. Even after the competition, I still had the images and noises stuck in my head. I fell asleep thinking about cups and never again do I wish to see a special cup for stacking ever again.
