I woke up this morning at about 10:35, thrilled that I got to sleep in. We were supposed to have conditioning this morning for baseball but Coach Berry cancelled it until we finished our Blue/Gold World Series. I was glad that he did that. I have been working pretty hard to improve myself and hopefully it's paying off. I haven't hit the ball well, and that has always been my strong point. I think it is more confidence than anything and I need to start having confidence. I am actually really excited to play today, since we haven't played in forever. I want to hit the ball for once. I havent hit the ball hard at all and I'm sure that people are starting to think I can't. Heck, I'm even starting to think that. I think that could be a reason and today I'm going to prove it all wrong.

I woke up today realizing I had spaced off for English an entire day yesterday. We didn't have class, but we had a quiz and a blog, and I didn't do either. Even if I don't get credit for this, I felt as though I missed out on a day to share my ideas and other aspects of life. Today already feels long. I feel like I'm getting sick again, but hopefully not as serious this time. I am definately due up for a nap today. I haven't had good sleep the past couple nights and a nap right after lunch sounds scrumptious. It is Tuesday today, and I am planning on going home this weekend, probably saturday, for hunting. I haven't seen my family in only a couple weeks, and I wasn't able to come home for my mom and dad's anniversary last weekend so I figured I'd try to make up for it.

I am very tired. We had conditioning this morning and it absolutely totalled my mind. My legs are tired, my arms are tired, my head is tired, and worst of all, I'm tired. I didn't think I'd get up in time to make it to English this morning. My alarm went of, and I just sat in bed, quietly singing along. My ringtone is a song, obviously. It is Rise Above This by Seether. It is a song about his brother comitting suicide, and is one of my favorite. Getting on this subject, music is one of my favorite things to do. I have alot of songs I can list, but that would be way longer, so I am going to list some of my favorite Artists, and some other ones I know and like a song or two. So in no particular order, Boston, Cheap Trick, Augustana, Seether, Eminem, Backstreet Boys, Boys II Men, Breaking Benjamin, Static-X, Disturbed, Metallica, Chris Brown, Mario Vasquez, Mario, Leonna Lewis, Rihanna, Tim McGraw, Kenny Chesney, John Michael Montgomery, Toby Keith, Keith Urban, Brad Paisley, George Straight, Gary Allan, Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus, Timbaland, Justin Timberlake, The Killers, Bowling for Soup, Akon, Avant, We The Kings, Sick Puppies, Green Day, Yellowcard, The Afters, Secondhand Serenade, Lil Wayne, Lil Jon, Ludacris, Chingy, Nelly, Styx, C-Side, Verve Pipe, Stroke 9, The Offspring, 50 Cent, Ray J, The Beatles, Newfound Glory, Sum 41, New Kids on the Block, and Kate Perry.

The last 12 hours have been bad. I was doing math from 8-1 in the morning, and still didn't finish it all. I had to wake up at 6 for baseball, and I was dead tired. Even though I ran pretty good this morning, I really need a nap. I doubt were going to be having baseball again today since it is raining pretty bad. It is supposed to rain all day, and start snowing tonight. Steve also told me yesterday that they took a month off of baseball and merely did conditioning and weight lifting until after christmas. I think that would be radical dude (not really how I talk). The only bad thing about now is that it takes up so much time running, lifting on my own, and practing with the team. If we only ran and lifted weights in the morning, I would be able to get way more homework done, sleep more, and even lift harder. I woke up and I was just like, oh no, this is going to be a long day. So far, it has been. I haven't done anything and I need to go to bed. I wish I had the courage to skip class. Actually, no I don't, I'd rather go to class and just get a little bit of the information in my head, than not go and get absolutley nothing.

We had a choice to write about a problem, but my internet just started working and I don't want to be far behind. I guess the internet not working is a problem so maybe I'll see what I can do. So it was about 10:12, and we were assigned to write in our blogs. I looked at my screen and saw the internet was down. Oh No!, I thought to myself, what was I going to do, there was work to be done, and I didn't have internet. Call Superman, he could definately fix it, after all, what is there that he can't do. As long as there is no kryptonite in my computer he'd be the key. He could fly from his secret lair, but wait, how would I contact him, my internet is down! I carefully thought, and the next solution was telegraph a message to Superman. That is the best way, I mean its been around longer than any other means of communication. So I began my message, "Dear Superman, my internet is down so I this is the only wa....". Oh no, I just thought of two more problems. The first one, I've seen, let alone used, a telegraph before and what makes me think that it's that easy. The second problem, I have no idea where Superman's secret lair is, and if I just randomly send out a telegraph (which I don't know how to write anyway) someone might intercept it and than they'd think I was Superman trying to lure them in. Just then, something happened I never expected. I pushed the repair button on my internet and all of my problems were gone. I had internet so I didn't need to telegraph Superman anymore, I could e-mail him, actually, I had internet so I had no use for Superman period, other than wanting to meet him. So I guess after this I still have one problem, where does Superman really live?

Today is another long day. I had conditioning this morning and alls I could think about is what am I missing from school. It's getting pretty hard to keep organized since everything is on computer, and I never know what to write down in my planner. It's pretty much a waste for me to even have it because the only thing I have written in it so far is that there is a music appreciation thing tonight at 9 that is optional and I'll probably attend it so I can figure out what I'm doing in that class. Internet around here isn't the greatest, even though when it's working its really helpful. Running this morning wasn't that bad at all, actually I thought it was really easy. I ran a sweet 16 in under a minute, but after that I was pretty much gassed. I don't know much right now. My head is just a wandering around. Jana is sitting to my left, and she is a loud and bad typer. I am just kidding, but life continues. I almost stopped writing to help her fix a dent in her bottle. I didn't really, because I like writing in blogs. It'll be fun looking back, as I have mentioned before in previous journals. There is a black thing floating around her bottle. Ewww. I hope I can find enough sources for my paper to finish. I have 2 that I think will be alright, but most of the stuff I right is coming from my head. Thank goodness I'm such a fan. I think this is the most I've written in the journal for a long time.

I woke up this morning at roughly 6. We had to meet at the football field for conditioning and I was really excited. Well, no I wasn't really, but I pretended I was. When I got out there it was really cold and wet. I figured it wouldn't be hard because they didn't want a player to pull a muscle or something but I could have been wrong. We ended up starting 10 yard sprints, and then 30, then 50, and then 100 yard dashes. It was about the funnest thing I could think of at 630 in the morning. I think that overall its better for me to be waking up early like that and getting awake for class and being ready than doing it at the last second. Now I sat by brice in the TC while he is eating overprice biscuits and gravy. He is sick so I laugh.

I just interacted in class and I was the big bad wolf. Anyways, I woke up this morning at about 5 A.M. and believe it or not I was super happy. I still had another hour to sleep. We had baseball practice this morning at 6:30, so I had to be up and ready to run by then. It started off not to bad, but that was because the first sweet sixteen isnt bad. It's after the first one the day gets long. We run 1 for every person who is late or doesn't show up. We only had to do 4 before we started doing the regular conditioning. The regular conditiong was a deck of cards with jokers, which represented what we were going to do. The number on the card represented how much we would do, and the suit was the type we would. Jokers were the sweet sixteens, so we ended up doing what seemed like a lot. Everytime we did them I would start out hard and end up dead. We also did burpees, sit-ups, push-ups, and squat jumps. After practice I went to my room and tried to sleep, but was unsuccessful. I just laid there looking at the clock anticipating it would jump over the hours so I could go to sleep for a good nights rest. It never happened, and soon enough I ended up in class. The weekend wasn't too bad, other than having to get up for baseball on sunday, but other than that I finished about 90% of my homework, which I know isn't good enough but I was happy to get that much done. I was so tired all weekend I hardly had the ambition to do anything. I am pretty sure I'm over the mono, but I am still eating healthy, like I always should, and getting sleep when I can. Today is the first time we've written in our blogs in what seems like forever. It is nice to get some of the details out again. It's interesting looking back a year or two from now and seeing what I was thinking at this particular moment. We did this throughout my High School and Junior High years, and I still look back and laugh because I would do some of the strangest things. I would draw pictures of dinosaurs, or write about how the guy next to me was tapping his foot. I would also barely touch my pencil on the paper so it's hard to make out what I was writing. The most common words I used had to be umm or I don't know what to write about. There were days that I would write an entire 3 pages just using that. I don't even know why I wasted the paper or the time. I could have just sat there and stared into space like most other kids. I was always a shy kid so I never shared anything important or anything that people would laugh at me. It was always pointed towards something random. Goodbye.
