Hello
Yes! I'm in the top 23 for the basketball tryouts! So awesome!
But it's not over yet, they are cutting 8 more people on Monday! Growl!
So now I'm planning to work out all over this weekend, being careful to not sprain a muscle, and picking out the 8 people behind me.
I feel so nervous! But it's natural isn't it?
Anyways, school today was just about average: A science worksheet which our group messed up one question, a English test, and a SS project. Oh, and a load of homework.
At least i have the weekend.
Gotta go!

Hey again.
Guess what? I made it into somewhere in the top 25! So awesome! Too bad it’s only the first tryouts… 2 more to go. Holy crap, now to think of it, they have to cut ten people from the top 25 players, I feel horrified. I mean, I woke up at 6:15 this morning drenched in sweat, when playing my violin, whenever I screw up and feel frustrated, I wonder if it’s what I’ll be like at tomorrow’s tryout.
Even when I go to sleep, I think how and what I should do that makes me worthy of the basketball team, sometimes get so excited I snap suddenly awake and feel the butterflies coming.
The feelings are also inarticulate. It is nearly impossible to say who or what is pressuring me to make the team, why I’m so desperate to make the team, and why I feel so nervous over something I can’t really control.
Anyways, school today was alright. Math first block, and gym. But gym, my oh my, did I get temporarily depressed. I kept missing such easy shots like lay-ups and three pointers at 45-degree angles. I went ballistic when I missed a hook. But you know the reason I went insane wasn’t that the class was watching or the guys were laughing… I had the second tryout nailed in my head. If I were to do this horrible at that tryout, I’d simply cry.
Then it was French which I managed to pull through, and strings which was awesome. I’m beginning to like Mr.Hill. Guess why I did not like him in the past was that my head was stuck too high and I was too pompous and reactive thinking that he was always trying to pick on me just because he thought I was too good for the class.
Guess I was wrong.

Hey-lo.
Well, at the library again, I guess. Today was quite decent, without too much fun and too much depression. Had some checking up in science… hee, hee, hee, the highest mark in the class too. Then it was English with barely any homework, and socials with no homework and the whole period to work on this new project.
It all went very smoothly.
I had a horrible time at lunch though, with all the gyms stacked. I couldn’t practise for the basketball tryouts tomorrow morning.
Gotta wake up at 5:40 tomorrow, gonna go =l

Hey again… I guess.
I’m at the library again as you might guess.
Gym today was horrible. I feel terrible. I feel my world has no more fun, no more waiting, no more anything. I just want to go home and grab a ball, pushing myself to the lengths on my limits and just playing BB.
Why I feel this way? You might ask…
Basketball is a sport whose fun is only visible, only available to those who consider to actually play.
That’s my theme. Take a guess: my conflict is that once the other team notices that our team better than them, they don’t try and lag around. I just plainly hate that. Cause once I drive in an open lane, I like the thrill of the pressure pushing my to score. But when that same moment is repeated twenty times in five minutes, especially when I don’t have any edging, I feel that the game is no fun and instead of shooting right under the net, I pass back. Right under the net.
…
I know, I started of in a complaining mood… So here’s the good news: It’s my dad’s birthday today.
I spent 7 hours yesterday on a birthday card yesterday. And to tell the truth, I’m very, very proud of the best drawing I did in my whole life.
Well, I’m off and away!

Hey again,
Guess what, I’m at the library on a quick 15 min. express again. I’m not really supposed to write my blog today, so I’ll have to do this fast…
The Technical Drawing Test we had today was seriously the most fun test in my whole life. I’m impressed, like, totally.
Then we had science, and I found I’ve pulled my 92 to a sad 87. Three assignments back and only one of them was an A. Depressing, more like.
English was okay. We had a bit of homework to check and go over, had a class discussion on a novel we read, it was all good.
Last subject was socials, where the class was misbehaving and driving the teacher up the wall. Poor teacher. However the sympathy was replaced by butterflies and internal complaints when she gave us a new project worth 40 points. Disturbing, it was.
Anyways, I gotta go off now, bye!

I’m mending with dad. I’m doing my best to have fun in his company.
But.
I’m having trouble having fun in his presence. The catch.
Anyways, I finished all my homework, went outside and revisited my old elementary school. Noticing I was alone, located a small soccer ball and fooled around tiring myself.
What was interesting was that I actually lost myself in the not the likely to be fun activity.
The actual day, was unfortunately not as cool.
Sat around and grew fat eating stolen candy from my sister (actually, she knows, but doesn’t care), and read physics, math and heavy geometry. To tell the truth, I feel really geeky.
I did some more homework on Chinese and Violin, and I still need to get my Family Reflections typed on my blogs…

Hey,
Halloween was okay. I was a bit bored though. Should have went to a party or sumthin’. At least I could sleep in tomorrow.
Today was decent. I managed to do quite good at my violin class today =], but got my ass kicked by Mother Nature. I couldn’t run home fueled by the joy of an unending flow of music because it was fricking pouring… :(
Guess the best I could think of it is the fact Level 8 is looming closer & closer.
Then I stole some of my sister’s candy and grew fat while reading Garfield.
Oh that, and I finished my homework.
Gotta start on my Science fair Project, and Current Events,
