The Farmers Invitational
I don’t really feel like a huge post right now.
The Frosh/Soph course was 2 miles. I finished 97th out of 193. My time was 13:32.57 (I’m not positive about the milliseconds, but I’m pretty sure). I think I finished ahead of everybody in JVB that ran Frosh/Soph. That’s really all that matters, except that I started a little fast and my quads started hurting early. But I kept up the pace, so that doesn’t really matter either.
First Race
I’ve got my first race next Saturday. The 15th. Farmer’s invitational, at Hayward High School. The Frosh/Soph Guys race is a 10:00. We’ve all got to be at PHS by 7:30. Fun fun fun… And, we get to wear our short shorts! >.<.

This post has no specific topic.
School started. A while ago. My schedule:
- Biology with Willats
- Spanish II with Leskowski
- Computer Programing TA for Mattix / Modern World History with Cowherd
- Algebra II with Hayden
- English 3-4 with Hill
- Modern World History with Cowherd / Social Psych with Blanpied
- LC with McCarthy
I’m not going to talk about them. If you want to know, ask me. I won’t finish this blog if I start talking about everything…
Cross country is… alright, I guess. Things hurt from time to time, but I’ll live… Fuck, the freshmen are annoying. There’s this one dumbass punk wannabe that’s just so annoying… He won’t stop talking to us, even though there are plenty of freshmen on the team, and he seems incapable of saying anything intelligent. I was asking Stephen what he thought the middle school XC team was doing (they were like… hopping 5-10 yards down the football field, not staying in any sort of recognizable formation [aka they're line kept braking apart]. he said he had no idea), and the freshman kid is just like “Well, you know, when you run, it hurts. So maybe they’re just trying to get used to pain, so they can go faster!” (It looked like they weren’t close to breaking a sweat). The he continued. “So, like if you stab your hand with a knife, you’ll be able to run faster!” Stephen and I just kinda looked at him. I was like “you know, that’s really not a good idea…”, and Stephen says “Actually, it’s a great idea! Go try it!” Anyway. He’s a pain in the ass. I’m sure he’s just trying to fit in or something, but… cmon… go fit in with other freshmen or something.
Florida was fun. Pictures!

BTW, I did a lot of cool things with that. You can view a map of the pictures, and you can view them in Google Earth.
Amos’s:

God damit Amos… I put up 83 pictures, so he puts up 92. Granted, he did take like 600 to my 285… whatever.

xD I look weird in that…
I might do some sort of post with stories and stuff. Maybe.
Waterworld on Sunday! Elaine and Justine want to strap sandwiches to me and have me wear a baggy shirt, so it just looks like I’m fat or something. It’s mainly Justine though. Thomas doesn’t care xP. Donno if that’s going to happen xD.
Owell, I’ll write more at some other point in time, I guess.
School is out!
It is. It doesn’t really feel like it though… Well, kinda does. But whatever. It is. Which is why I’ve started playing Rainbow Six Vegas. Dam that game’s fun…
Fuck. I still haven’t gone back to Deviant Art yet. I’ve been kinda putting it off… cause there’s going to be so much to do. I’m sure I’ve got tons of stuff to catch up on at WL, if the sarge hasn’t kicked me out yet =/.
Running. Started running again yesterday… Dam I’m out of shape… but it wasn’t as bad as it could have been, I guess.
Cub Scout Day Camp. Incredibly fun. I’m an assistant den chief, so I just sit down and watch the kids being dealt with by some other person who’s running a station or something. Owen (the den chief) just kinda leaves sometimes, so i’ve got to take care of them. 11:45-5… :(
I might start Drivers Ed at some point. Soon. I hope. :D.
Anyway, Oljato (scout camp) next week, then free time :D. Maybe I’ll work on my website a bit more (which, by the way, got a logo), and explore Linux (I’ve got it installed on another machine, and whenever I try to run Firefox, it tells me I’m missing a library that is most defiantly there, with a link to it in multiple bin folders. -_-). I guess that’s all for now :D.
Non-tech stuff
I just realized that I can use this blog for things other than geeky tech stuff. So I’ll start by talking about finals!
- First period: Computer Programming. Mr. Mattix has been gone for a long time, so he made the final optional. So I spent the period doing geeky tech stuff! I have no life :(.
- Second period: Spanish. Well, I knew half of it! =/.
- Third period: Science. We were allowed a 8.5×11 double sided sheet of typed notes. So, being myself, I was too lazy to do it… I’m sure I missed a couple of things… But not too many :P.
- Fourth period: PE. It’s going to be the softball world series, so there’s not much to talk about…
- Fifth period: Support (LC). Enough said. I’ll probably just do math or something…
- Sixth period. English. With Black. So, portfolio sharing ( :( ), finishing Romeo and Juliet ( :| ), and the Romeo and Juliet movie ( :) ).
- Seventh period: Math. I’ve got some missing assignments to finish, and my notebook to work on… :(.
What else goes on in my life? I got a 6:49 on the mile! Cross Country training does do something for you! I found my Nike+ receiver, so I can use that for running now.
Well, other than that, I really have no life… =/
