I'm looking forward to this weekend. Tommorow, school starts at 10 A.M, so I get to stay up late tonight and sleep in tommmorow. Then, afterschool, there is a dance at our school and I'm planning to go. I'm not going because I like to dance, but because I like music. I'm not doing any dancing, I'm just gonna hang out with my friends and watch ( Read more... )

    Didn't do much today.  I watched a baseball game in the morning (while I was still in bed).  I had basketball tryouts at 1 P.M.  We just did dribbling and shooting drills, and then we played a game.  There were people on the side of the court evaluating our skills.  I think what they do is take those reports about each player and then ( Read more... )

        I went camping last weekend, it was pretty fun. We played games, went hiking in the mountains, and.....slept in the tent. The Angels made it to the playoffs last weekend! I went to wednesday's game, and it was fun, until they lost the game. Then yesterday, they got eliminated from the playoffs in a gut-wrenching defeat. I'm scared to go to ( Read more... )

     I signed up for flag football yesterday. It's tuesdays and thursdays afterschool. My friend Matthew and I are doing it together , but we don't have a full team so we are trying to convince our friends to sign up too. On a different note, I got Angel's playoff tickets!!! (If they make it that far) If they don't make the playoffs, then we get ( Read more... )

On friday nights, I usually go were my parents want to go, but last night, it was my turn. We went to a baseball game-the Anaheim Angels vs. Oakland Athletics. We were late to the game because of traffic, and missed half an inning.  Oakland had gotten off to an early lead, and the Angels tried to make a comeback, but they failed and suffered a ( Read more... )

       School is getting tough now. Tests and pop quizzes, projects and homework. One of the projects I had to turn in this week was the I AM poem. I wrote about the president of the U.S. and the war in Iraq. I havent gotten the grade for it yet, but I think I did pretty well. I'm excited right now because tommorow my school starts at 10 A.M and ( Read more... )

     During P.E. yesterday, my teacher, Ms.Vacketta, was giving us our numbers (painted on the cement) to sit on. I was kind of bored, and just looking around, and suddenly, here comes this golden brown dog charging at our class! He stops in front of Jarrod, an overactive, hyper, and crazy guy. Jarrod starts petting the dog, and the dog aims and ( Read more... )

     It's week two, and school is in full swing now.  Eighth grade will be tough, but it won't be impossible.  Nothing is impossible. Baseball season is also in full swing. Every game from now on is an important game, and that makes for some great baseball.  I'm  exited because the NBA (pre) season and my basketball season is coming up as well.   I ( Read more... )

I started school on thursday, and my english teacher gave us homework! I know it sounds like I'm making a mountain out of a mole hill, but it made me really upset. But I am in an advanced class and somehow it doesn't surprise me that (Ms. Turner) would do that. I thought my poem was pretty good until I heard a girl in my class read her poem. ( Read more... )

         Today is the last day of summer. I did my back-to-school shopping yesterday, and I'm all geared up for another year of pencils, papers, and projects. If I were to use one word to describe this summer, it would be RESTFUL. I went to a couple of baseball games, went to baseball, basketball, and surf camp, hung out with friends, turned ( Read more... )
