volleyball

today i woke up purposely later because i knew i didn't have to work out in the morning because i had gym today. i got out of bed and got dressed and almost forgot to get a second shirt to change into after gym. i went downstairs and i had a breakfast of waffles, bacon, frosted mini wheats, a protein shake, and milk, then i got packed up, ran to the bus, and caught it just in time because we had a new bus driver today who i knew would come early but forgot about it until the last minute, i found out many people missed the bus today because of this. in first block we spent most of the time messing around as a reward for being way farther ahead of her other classes in reading the book, we are on page 50 and the farthest any of the others are on is 22 in other classes. second block we did warm ups, dynamic and static stretches, then we ran half a mile (which i counted) and went to the tennis courts where volleyball nets were set up. we were divided into teams and i had played volleyball in gym class in 8th grade and was in the top 3 out of 70-80 kids so i knew how to play. our team went undefeated and we won our games by more than 4 points each time, even though half my team didn't want to play. third block we had a little more time on the biology test for those who didn't finish or weren't here so i took advantage and answered all the questions i couldn't yesterday, so i expect a good grade. in forth block we learned about Islam and Muslim religion, culture, and customs. we learned about the haij, the trip to Mecca, and the Qua-ran, their holy book, and other things like they have to pray 5 times a day. i went home and did my workout, i didnt go to class today because my parents didnt come home till 6 so i didnt have a ride but it wasnt a class that counted towards my cycle. i got all my requirements done but push ups and sit ups are getting boring so i did them in front of the tv while watching the news. i showered and did my homework and now i just have to relax until i go to sleep. tomorrow will be halfway through the week  :)
