Temperature Swings

Earlier this morning, I looked out the window and to my dismay, IT WAS SNOWING!  AGAIN!  Then after my next class, there was snow on the ground, but it was sunny outside.  After I got off the bus and walked home, there was no snow, it was sunny, and it was kinda warm.  There is this pretty wise quote that inspires me a lot.  It is, "Never stop dreaming.  Unless your dreams are stupid."  It's by Journey.  (:  Like I said, a very wise quote.  I guess it's just to much to ask for my dream to come true.  All I'm asking for is some hot weather here people!  I guess that is one of those stupid dreams and I should come up with another one.  :)

Last summer, I was so sore all the time with my plantar-fasciitis, that I never really exercised besides shooting the basketball, or swimming.  I wasn't very active, so I gained some weight.  This summer, since now I know how to deal with the pain and how to relieve the pa in, I plan to run a mile almost everyday, work on not just shooting, but also ball handling, lifting weights, and being more awesome!  I have already been doing that, and I have gotten in much better shape.

3 on 3

I am in a awesome 3 on 3 tournament.  3 on 3 is just half court basketball with three players on each team.  It's basketball.  It's fun.  It's awesome.  I like it because, for me, 5 on 5 normal basketball just sometimes feels so crowded and much harder to play.  With 3 on 3, I have more places to drive in because it is more open and everything feels a bit clearer.  Also, I will like it now because this year, the team chose me and I didn't choose it.  One of those players is my friend and the other two are basically friends with me, the problem is is that sometimes... well I'll just say that they are better at a lot of other things other than basketball.  I had a hard time being nice to them before because they just annoyed me with how they played, but not I understand that they can't help it and that they are really nice dudes.  Our first practice is tonight and I can''t wait!  :)

Chloe Turning 11?

I can't believe Chloe is already 11 years old!  I remember when I could still beat her at everything... I mean I still can beat her at everything, but it was a lot easier.  :)  She is getting annoyingly taller so that means I need to grow so that I can still be taller than her.  She is joining track, so I have to start jogging on my own so that I can still always beat her.  So much to change!  :)  Chloe!  Stop!  Getting!  Awesomer!  :)  I guess Chloe can't help but be cool.

Sabir

I made a new friend who I have known since last year, just never actually knew.  His name is Sabir.  He is from a Kenyan background and has a cool Kenyan accent.  He is clutch at soccer but sucks at basketball, and I suck at soccer but good at basketball.  So we decided to hang out and he can make me better at soccer and I can make him better at basketball.  :)  He said he was born in America, but moved to Kenya for a while because his parents are from Kenya.  He said his name means patience.  He also said he was a hypocrite because his name means patience but he has none of it.  :)   He is really funny and we are about as fast.  Since we are in the same P/E class, we always challenge each other.  I can't wait to hang out with him over Spring Break.

Nick

Nick is our youth pastor for our church.  He is really funny, really cool and really awesome.  Sadly, he made an announcement last night that he will be preaching at a different church starting this summer.  It was so sad because he was crying and seeing a man cry makes you want to cry.  Thankfully, I managed to not.  :)  He made this really cool slideshow of his favorite memories here at the church with us kids and it was sad.  

What Caused the Great Depression

In history today, we learned part of what caused the Great Depression.  People thought that when they bought things with credit, that it was free.  They didn't realize that you had to pay the same amount plus extra.  So when they were buying a bunch of 'free' things, and then had to pay for them, they didn't have the money available.  So they went to their banks to get some money out of some stock that they had but the banks didn't have the money.  It was crazy!  :)

These students from the high-school came over today and talked to us about how alcohol and drugs effect you and stuff.  It was pretty cool, but they just said everything we already covered in class.  (Health class)  There were a bunch of kids and I guess the high-school sent them because they think we might think they are cooler than a bunch of teachers.  :)  It was pretty fun, though.

Snow?

Why is there snow?!  It snowed yesterday!  In fact, it snowed more than it has all winter... by a lot!  It was so deep!  I was just getting used to getting used to getting used to getting used to feeling warm, when it decided to SNOW!  Why???  Whatever!  :)

Pie Time

Today in 9'th hour, our school had a big pep-fest.  There were awesome activities!  Students got to pie teachers!  Those teachers then got to pie students!  It was so funny!  In case you don't know what getting pied is, I'll explain it.  Its really simple.  You get a pie, and then throw it at someone's face.  They look stupid after they get pied, which I guess is the whole point.  :)
