Learning Again

Today i had to learn how to jump rope again it took me a few times to actually complete one round. The hardest part of cycle in my opinion is maybe the running part. oh and the waking up early part. Anyways i been running to KT then back to my house for a total of 3 miles per day. hopefully i can be done early with my running and focus on other things.

Try outs

Had soccer try outs today. i did pretty good but it was really intense and I'm really tired and sore. there was a fight there and i had to hold the 8th grader back from the puny 7th grader with a big mouth. 3 of my friends were helping but the  kid still got punched in the face so i guess it was all for nothing haha. anyways a stray elbow struck me on my windpipe REALLY HARD so now my voice is a little weird for the time being and it hurts 24/7. I dont know if i will make it but the other people couldnt dribble the ball so i think i have a pretty good chance but then agian if its only me and a cople other guys that are good then our team will be demolished every match. If that happens I'll... idk what i willl do...

Friday

It was rainy to day. My friends were all soaked while i was waiting in my garage for the bus to come :) When i got to school there was music on the intercom for the first time. I think it was because its Friday and the teachers were bored. In 1st block my teacher gave a really easy Extra Credit essay about the Holocaust. It only has to be 1 page so i will for sure be doing that after BB class.
