september 4th

i woke up really tired, more tired than any other day but i woke up fast because i drank a glass of water, i was dehydrated. i did some of my requirements but not as much as i usually do because i did extra push ups and sit ups yesterday. i got dressed, ate a bowl of cheerios, a slice of pizza, a banana, a glass of orange juice, and a protein shake, then i packed up and ran out the door because i was really slow because i was tired, but i did make the bus which i slept on. in first block we did an activity where we read a book about listening skills and how to understand someones situation and problem fully before you offer advice and support, then we practiced it on different situations. second block we went over the pre history of world war 2 and watched an old movie made in 1969 about the air force pilots and the conflict between Germany and Britain. in third block we didnt do much, we went over forms and regulations on labs we will do in the future, checked up on our plant experiment, and did a notebook check, which i passed easily. lunch was short because i ate alot of my food in 3rd block, cookies, a protein shake, turkey, cheese, granola bars, and pretzels. forth block we took the test on unit one and everything we have learned yet and then did an activity focusing on the effects, good and bad, monsoons have on india. i listened to music on my way home and ran home because i was sick and tired of not being home. i did my homework and chores before i helped out at KTMH with the white belt class of 35, i got alot of requirements such as pull ups, push ups, and sit ups during the free time in class. i did a bit of my mentor session between classes but only got 5 minutes in. the class i took we focused on forms and some requirements that were very helpful, i had little left to do at the end and the last 10 minutes of my mentor sessions finished them all up. i got home, showered, did laundry, now i have to do homework for first block then i can relax until i go to sleep, tomorrow is Thursday!!! only 2 days left :)
