East Newton

Today was a pretty good day; lunch was good and that's always a good sign. I woke up late today...again. It actually isn't that bad waking up at 6:20am but it causes me to rush through breakfast because I have to walk almost a mile to school. Anyway, I had a good breakfast and proceeded to school, bla, bla, bla.

First hour was okay, but oh my God AP Chemistry was unbelievable! I took the hardest test in my life; it was even harder than my AP Biology test, which I got a 19 out of 40 on. So after I got done feeling retarded I went to Sociology and had some fun. We had our assignments where our sociology buddies had asked five other people of what they thought of us. The people I asked about Amanda Reasoner said she was nice, shy, quiet, outgoing, and outgoing. Now here's what people said about me, if I can remember correctly; shy, hard to talk to because I'm shy, caring once you get to know me, takes time to open up to new people, and thinks he's too good to talk to "me". Whoever said that last one I'm curious about, because the last thing going through my head is "Oh, I'm too good to talk to your lame ass, so get away."

Fourth hour was alright, Adv. Math and Trig isn't exactly a class one would ever call "fun". I got to leave a whopping ten minutes early so I could get ready for the bus ride to our meet in East Newton. It was a short 40 minute drive, and my Zune mp3 player died so I was kinda bummed about that. When we got there it pouring down rain and thundering like no other. The biggest bolt of lightning ever came down not too far away, like God himself was striking down. We all got our hopes up that the meet would get canceled, but it didn't, which was okay because it was good running weather and East Newton's course is flat as hell. The biggest hill was maybe five feet and it was at a pretty small incline. It nearly killed me...especially comparing to Monett's "hill" which is actually nicknamed "The Hill", famous for its near 90 degrees incline. Yeah, I'm kidding if you can't tell.

I beat my personal record of 19:19 (from the MSSU Stampede race) by one whole second! So my time, if you're pretty good at math, was 19:18. I know I could've done a lot better if my knee didn't feel like a hinge with two rusty screws on either side. The last 100 meters killed me! I felt it before the race but knew coach would pull me out if I told him, so I kept my mouth shut and did particularly good considering the circumstances.

After the race we had Subway and Famous Amos cookies. I took two bags of cookies, to no surprise for the people who know me well enough. On the bus rife home Josh sat on a cupcake that we all got for our team's manager's birthday. It was hilarious! We call him sweet cheeks now. Well, that's pretty much it for today, I'm going to try to get some sleep now.

Have fun doing whatever,

Seal.
