Last Friday our senior high
school´s first graders had their welcoming party, nahkiaiset. It was an event where the girls had to dress
like boys and the boys had to dress like girls. I was one of those who had to dress
like boys. The topic was Pokemon.
We had a big list of things that we had to
bring with us. For example we had to find a stone which weighed 3,01 kg. There
were also some string (105,28cm), a chocolate bar (for the second graders,
of course), a vegetable, a Pokemon ball, a Pokemon, a mug and a swimming ring in the list. And all
that we had to carry in a cardboard box. It was not easy!
When we came to
school there were some instructions we had to follow. For example we had to
crawl the stairs and follow the tapes on the floor. Every time we saw a second
grader we had to worship him or her.
In the morning we went to the gym, where
we gave the chocolate bar and the vegetable to the second graders and then we got name badges. We had to practice a very embarrassing dance and after that we had
normal school lessons. At the lunch we had to eat on the floor.
It was a pretty
hard day for the first graders, but it was also one of the funniest days I have had in
high school. The final ordeal was in the gym. We had to perform the dance which
we had practiced and sing a song to the second graders.
There were also more
different kinds of tasks. For example we had to drink something very
disgusting, a drink that the second graders had made for us “with love”. We also
had to do tricks pairwise. It doesn’t sound difficult now, but try to think of it
like this: our feet were bound and we were wearing our swimming rings. It made
the tricks a little bit more difficult.
There was also a competition of the ugliest
"nahka" (first grader) award. After that embarrassing day I hope we are now officially senior high
school students. Right?
