Things

Lately I've been trying to keep up on my grades. My mom has been pestering me because i get a B in one class and an A- in another. So I guess that was my motivation to kind of step it up and get my work in. I have an A in every class except for Algebra. But in that class I have B+ which is still good. So no worries there.


In Mrs. Herron's class (Language Arts) We had to make a, not so short, story. I ended up with a lot of work because I'm so outgoing (sarcasm if you didn't catch that) and I filled up each page of my rough draft, which was 8 pages long. It doesn't seem like much but when you're down to the wire to get it done, it's a heck of a lot.


I noticed while I was writing this that the tab key moves the cursor thing down to the Labels for this post bar. That's pretty annoying because I've had to manually space the flashy thing to where I want it so that my writing can be magnifico. Which brings me to my next subject. I'm in espanol class! It's pretty much my favorite class. I can kind of engage in a conversation on a 5 year-old to 5 year-old basis. It's pretty "legit" as the kids at my school would say... But in Spanish I have a 102% because my teacher is the best.

Tho most of this is about school, the title does say "Things" so I should mix some other "things" in with this awesome post. As of 12-10 3:53 PM, 5762 texts used. Pretty sweet huh? I know this post is later than 3:53 PM but my phone updates kind of slow. So I just thought you might want to know that.

I realized that I can outrun my friends even when they're on their bikes. I'm proud of myself that I can do this. It makes me feel cool, sort of.

K, I'm kind of shifting back to a school topic. P.E. Known by most as Physical Education. We did the coolest work out video thing! It's called P90X and it makes ya sore. Trust me. I did it and when I came home I was sore. Then I had to run eight times around the track in the Washington Rec. Center, which makes a full mile, and the next morning I had pain all over me! Oh well, it's good for me.

Parties

So I was supposed to go to my friend Kiana's birthday party but noooo, my mom wouldn't let me because she didn't know anyone that was going. It was very frustrating. But I guess a good thing is my friend Alex brought me and Jacee to an Xbox party. It was actually really fun. So I guess I shouldn't be complaining.

Sorry I haven't written anything in awhile... I've been really busy with school work, friends, and what not. But I'll just summarize my activities I've been up to recently.

First, I've been going to a lot of Pine View games. They're really really really fun to go to! Me and a bunch of my friend hang out there, plus, we get to see the football players on the field get into fights!

Second, I've had a lot of homework. Almost everyday! And I especially hate Algebra! It's the most boring subject ever! And I always get homework (except on test days, and that's why I like to take tests now) and it sometimes takes forever to do!

Third, I guess I've been hanging out with my friend a lot lately. That's the main part of why I haven't posted anything in awhile...

Whenever I say I'll try to post stuff more often I end up taking longer to put it on so I'm just not going to say that anymore. So I'll eventually get around to writing something else. Hopefully.

Baseball

I'm sorry I haven't posted anything in awhile but I'll give an update on what happened during baseball. We lost our first gave 21 to 1.... but then we came back our second game 17 to 7. We won our third game 16 to 6 but lost our last one 8 to 9. If we would have won our last game we would have made it to the championships but we got out on a double play in the last inning.

All- Star Team

After an intense season of baseball I guess my advanced skills have finally payed off after all. I got chosen to be on the 13 year old Washington All- Star team. I had only dropped one fly ball in the outfield the whole season out of a bunch that came out to me. My pitching wasn't doing so hot this year tho... But I like center field a little more anyway. So far my practices have lasted 3 to 4 hours each. I have a bunch of pulled muscles and I'm kinda sore on my shoulder blades. But other than that I like being on the team. It's really fun.

Stolen!

As you may have read on the title of my post something was stolen. That thing which was stolen was my cell phone. So this is how it happened:

Me and my friend Jacee were at the Washington Rec. Center and we got a locker and put our stuff in it. I put my phone in my locker and we shut it and went swimming. When we came back my stuff in my locker was moved around and my phone was missing. There were about fifteen other people in the locker room so it could have been any of them. So me and Jacee went to the front desk to ask if someone had brought it over to them which I knew no one had because what would be the point in stealing a phone if you were just going to turn it into the front desk... But anyway the lady at the desk just said, "It's not our problem." and got some guy to go look for us. He was atleast a little bit nicer and told us no one had turned it in and when he went to look around he couldn't find it.

Now I have a new phone. It's my mom's old Razor cell phone. She liked her old cell phone better so she let me have hers. So now me and my mom will check back at the rec. center in another couple of days.

SCHOOL IS OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Finally! School is out for the summer! I've been waiting so long for summer break. It's good to get away from all the work and stuff. I had good grades so my mom bought me a new hat that I've been bugging her for. My grades and percentages in my classes were:

Science: B 85%
Shop/Tech: B+ 87%
Band:A 96%
Language Arts:A 98%
Pre-Algebra:B 84%
Keyboarding:A 110%

The second to last day of school I got an award for typing 128 words per minute or something like that. It was cool.

In other news, my baseball career is going pretty good. My team beat the Pine View Freshman team. Now that the season is over my team is doing an elimination tournament. It's gonna be fun. My first tournament game is tomorrow (wednesday) at 5:30 if you want to come. It's at the Washington Baseball fields. It's going to be intense, trust me.

Another Baseball Post. And Some Other Things

My baseball team is great. We weren't the best team to start out with, but we made improvements every game. And for those of who were wondering I am pitching this year I am. I pitched at one of my games and got 3 strikeouts. We also won one of our games 18 to 4! It was really fun crushing the other team. They were undefeated before we beat them.
Baseball is great and everything but I'll give some updates about school.
In my first period which is Science my friend's phone went off in the middle of class and Mrs. Goettsche didn't even hear it. I did and I was all the way on the other side of the room and Mrs. Goettsche was standing right next to him. In my second period class which is Tech we are making commercials. My group hasn't really decided what we're doing yet but it will be fun to do. In my third period class (band) we went to Desert Hills High School and competed against other schools. We got good ratings and walked out of there with a Superior. That's the highest rank you can get. In Language Arts we just mailed off business letters that we typed to a certain company saying how good a certain snack is that they make. I wrote to Kellogg's and said how good Rice Krispies Treats are. In Pre- Algebra I'm keeping up with my work so far. I have a B+ in that class I think. And in sixth period which is Keyboarding I'm the fastest typer in my class. My fastest typing speed is 128 GWAM. I don't exactly know what GWAM stands for but I know that how you measure the speed of your typing. Im also the fastest typer in the class and I am the farthest ahead in my lessons. So thats a little bit of whats going on lately. I'll try to update this more often but I have baseball every other night and a bunch of homework that its hard to get on my blog...

Baseball and Other Stuff

First of all I'm sorry I haven't put a post on here in awhile. I've been really busy lately with school work and what not. But good news is I'm on a baseball team now. Our team name is the Royals and I think we have a pretty good team. I'm in the Pony league. That's a step above Majors in the Washington City League. This year I have a 16 year old, two or three 15 year olds, a couple of 14 year olds and a few thirteen year olds. One of them would be me. My team might have to play a Pine View High School team later on in the season and we play a lot of hurricane teams this year. Yesterday I got a new baseball mitt and new batting gloves. I haven't completely broken in the baseball mitt yet but I'm working on it. But I'm gonna tell about some other stuff like how I know have unlimited texting on my phone, I have a visible mustache now, I'm keeping my grades up in school, I got sunburned when I went up to Brian Head a couple of days ago to go tubing with my Jacee and Kaden. It was Jacee's birthday at the time, I can play my trumpet pretty good now, I think twilight is dumb, I'm the fastest typer in my keyboarding class, and my favorite food is steak with spinach cooked inside with mashed taters.

New Cell Phone!

Yep you heard it, I got a new cell phone. Just after a week and a half of my other one my parents got me a new one. Pretty cool huh? I'm on their T Mobile plan now and i have 1000 texts every month instead of 300 every 2 months.

Cell Phone + Klondike = :)

Yeah! I got a cell phone. Actually I got it a week ago I was just waiting till after the Klondike to write about it. After about the 4th day of having my cell phone I had used up half of my minutes.
My Mom and Dad are thinking about putting me on their T Mobile plan, and if I do get put on their plan I get a Razor. Now for the Klondike. When we got up to the camping place we dug out our little campsite. It was covered in a couple feet of snow. (not as much snow as last year though) Then we built our snow caves. Me and Kaden were sharing one but we made ours way too small and I got claustrophobic and Me and Kaden went to a giant pavilion place that's open all night for scouts that get cold and stuff. Doug and Chance followed behind us because their cave was too small too. So we all slept in this pavilion place on chairs. My back hurt when I woke up. The next morning we did a sled course that we started a fire on, went ice fishing, did a compass course, did a rope rescue, and a blindfolded maze type of thing. It was way funner than last year.

My Cousin: The Missionary

Me and my family went up to Grantsville to see my cousin give his farewell speach in church. He will soon be leaving for Switzerland for his mission. I'm going to miss him because he's one of my favorite cousins. But I'm glad he's going on a mission, and that just makes me want to go on one myself when I'm nineteen. I can't wait.

Four Wheeler

Due to the fact that my four wheeler couldn't start for a couple days I was delayed on riding it. But rest assured I have ridin it and it was FUN. My friend gave me his old helmet, chest protector, riding shirt, and goggles. Him and his dad took my out riding in Warner Valley on Friday. The next day my dad took me and my friend Jacee riding out to the southern end of Warner Valley and rode for about an hour, we would have kept riding but it was so dang cold. The wind was blowing and the temperature had to at least be below 30 degrees. Plus when your riding you have the wind blowing at you as you ride so we had 2 cold winds blowing at us. But it was fun anyways.
