august 3rd

today was a great day, my sleep schedule was a little bit off because of the weekend but i got up alright, i did my requirements, the push ups, sit ups, and kicks, then got dressed. my breakfast consisted of a banana, bacon, cheerios, orange juice, and a protein shake which woke me up. i got packed up and went to the bus stop with only minutes to spare before it came. first block was really good because we did an activity, you are the cruise ship captain and the boat starts to sink, there are 14 people including you and only 8 can fit in the lifeboat to go to the nearby island (not in swimming distance) and you get to choose based on the information given on each person who gets to go. second block was gym and we did a physical assessment, i got the best in pushups (40 continuous) and sit ups (46 in one minute). i counted those towards the requirements. third block was long because we just reviewed what the characteristics of life were, then we had a quiz at the end. lunch was really short and i just ate with my friends, i had a pbj, granola bar, protein shake, cheese, and pretzels. in forth block we went over unit one and early civilizations in asia and the middle east because we have a test on it tomorrow. after school i got home, unpacked, finished my physical requirements, then took the car for a drive with my mom. i went to KTMH and got the rest of my requirements done for today which is good because i got picked up and immediately went to dinner with my grandparents to celebrate their 52nd anniversary. we went to an italian restaurant and ate pizza, now i just gotta shower then im going to bed so i can get some sleep for my test tomrrow, wish me luck :)
