Okay. We’re playing Gotcha again in our house this term, and I am actually taking a more active and daring stance than last term’s “hide in my room until it is down to me and another person” strategy. Although it worked out pretty well, I eventually got caught by Katie Warner, who is playing again this term.

Today, I was getting a spicy chicken wrap and a giant bottle of water from the cafeteria. I finished ringing up my purchase, turned, and saw Margueritte coming towards me with a gesture of friendship: what appeared to be a high-five. But, in her haste to claim victory, she started to say the word Gotcha before actually touching me, and I dodged nimbly out of the way. After running through the V1 Main Building, and smashing through a door, I escaped to the outside. My wrap was crushed in my hand, but I kept on running. Eventually, I got enough distance between her and myself to turn and say, “You made a mistake today Margueritte. A grave mistake. Now, I know it is you.”

So, I took an extremely long way to get back to North 3 (I was out by MKV at this point), and ducked back into my house safe and sound. And now, I will not be so foolish as to leave my room without my safety item. No. Never again.
