My Friday (1.8.10)

So this friday i went to frisbee as always and i chilled with all my friends. It started out a normal day at school. PE first, we had a push up test. It was not fun at all, but i made all of the push ups required. After PE i had spanish. We watched a movie. It was "Gol." It was good. I have seen it before and i like it (Its about soccer). After spanish i went to math and history and then went to lunch.

At lunch i went with Alvin to his house because he forgot his cell phone and had to go get it. So we stayed there for lunch and chilled. After lunch i had English (best class of the day). We did a quickwrite as always. So far my favorite quickwrite was the one where we had to start or end it with "She touched the box in her pocket and smiled". That was a pretty cool one. We got to just make up a story. After english came chemistry which was not fun at all because Ms. Malik's class is just stupid. After chemistry school ended and i went to meet up with my friends.

Every day after school my friends and i always meet up at the same place. Right in the hallway downstairs in the main building. We met there and chilled for like twenty minutes before deciding we were gonna walk to frisbee. We started walking to frisbee and we were all listening to our ipods and talking and stuff. We were about three or four blocks away from Lincoln School when Steven's mom drives up to us and asks if we want a ride to frisbee. We of course take the ride and go to frisbee.

After she dropped us off we waited for everyone else to show up then we started playing frisbee. Well we started with soccer but then we ended up playing frisbee. During the game both teams were just going back and forth. Then finally France kicked the game off with a bomb to me and I caught it for a point. France and I seem to work well on the same team.

After the game we all played basketball for a little bit against some freshman. We played for like thirty minutes and of course we won. Then I ended up leaving and walking home after a long tiring day from school and frisbee. It was a pretty good way to start off the weekend.

Talks With Parents

So one day i got home late. My parents were pretty worried. I felt really bad because i kept them waiting for so long. Apparently my mom went driving around town looking for me and my dad stayed at home waiting for me. So i was at the library until 5:45 that day and i could not call my parents because i have no phone (My phone got taken because i went over my texting bill by $100). I usually stay after school for tutoring on tuesdays, wednesdays, and thursdays. That day i went to the main library and studied with my friend. My parents did not know where i was of course and were pretty mad when i got home.

When i arrived home at 6:30 or so, my mom was just leaving to go get my brother from karate and my dad was still home. My dad was pretty mad. He yelled at me for what seemed like 30 minutes. I do not blame him though he was just worried where i was.

After he finished, i went upstairs and started doing homework. Then my mom came home and we all ate dinner. After i was finished i went back upstairs to do more homework. An hour after i went upstairs, my dad called me down so my mom, my dad, and i could talk.

I am really glad i had the talk with my parents. My dad explained a lot to me. He cleared some things up but also left me with some questions. That day was for sure a learning experience as he put it, and i do not think i will forget that talk for as long as i live. I'm glad i have parents that i can trust with anything, and sit down and talk with whenever i need to.

My Dog (Buddy)

This week i am going to write about my dog buddy. Buddy is my families six year old Akita. We have had him since he was a puppy. Buddy started out the size of a football when we first got him. Now he is the size of a small bear (according to France). I remember the first night when buddy got home it was about 11:00PM and i was in bed. I heard the garage open and i knew my dad had finally gotten home from wherever he picked up buddy. I remember running downstairs and looking into the tiny crate and saying, "Why is he so small?" Little did i know, Buddy was going to become huge.

I remember the next morning Buddy was terrified of everyone. He would not come out of his crate and was always shaking. After a while he eventually grew to like us. When i was little i always wanted a dog that would fetch, so the first thing i did when buddy was not scared anymore was teach him how to fetch. So i taught him. It did not really work out though, because still up to this day buddy will go get the ball bring it back and then run away when i try to get it from him.

Now buddy is older. He always wants to go for a run and what not, he is still pretty energetic, and he is huge. In his years he has gotten into a lot of trouble. Gotten into a fight, killed some small animals (not a pretty sight), and knocked down an old man on a bike with a dog (France, Andrew, Steven, Alvin, Sandy). He is getting older but he still is the playful little puppy we have had since that first day we got him.

My Thanksgiving break

This thanksgiving break i went to Lake Tahoe. I went from wednesday the 25th through Saturday the 28th. Every year my family and i go up to Lake Tahoe for thanksgiving. It has been a tradition for years. Usually we stay in our cabin. I call it our cabin because to me it seems like we are the only people that ever go there. The cabin actually belongs to a family friend. We usually go up there every year with our dog Buddy. This year we didn't go to the cabin because it was being used by someone else. Instead we went to a hotel so we couldn't bring Buddy.

The hotel was very nice and cosy. We got a room that was too small and did not have a kitchen so we couldn't cook the turkey. So the next day we called the front desk and scheduled a new room to move into so we could cook our food. That day we moved and just chilled the rest of the day in the hotel. The night we moved we had our thanksgiving dinner. It was really good. We had turkey (of course), mashed potatoes, bread, and a bunch of other good stuff. It was a good dinner. After dinner everyone just chilled and then finally went to bed. The next morning we didn't really do anything. We just stayed home and watched movies. We ate dinner and got ready for the next day ahead.

The next day we left Tahoe and went back home. We drove for what seemed like forever. We stopped along the way at In and Out for some food (really good) and then kept driving. We drove for four hours and then finally we got to the bay area. We went to pick up Buddy then went home. That was my thanksgiving. We are going back up to Lake Tahoe for new years too.

Social Groups

So i have nothing to write about this week. So many problems are going on right now in our group. Pretty much our group is falling apart. We all hang out during frisbee but we have all become separate mini groups. We use to be one big group but now we have branched off. Its sad :(. Because we are all friends and all still but we just don't hang out as much anymore.

Groups in high school are pretty much just the people who you choose to hang out with. There are kids who just are somehow nominated as cool(and you can tell because they walk around thinking they are the coolest person ever) and there are other groups outside of that. So pretty much everyone falls under their specific groups and has their friends within that group. There are people that will fall into more than one group because they hang with a certain group but they eat lunch with another or something like that.

So as i was saying our group is falling apart. Our group of like 15 has split into "The 4", and about 3 other groups that have not been named. So all the groups are breaking apart and stuff has started to happen and no one knows what to do anymore. Don't get me wrong we are all still friends, but everyone just isn't as close as we used to. As long as we are all still friends its ok with me though.

Ultimate

This week i am going to write about ultimate. Every friday after school me and my friends go to Lincoln middle school to play ultimate. We usually play from the time we get there until dark. Usually the people that show up are france, alvin, steven, raymond, Jon, Shuan, Pranav, Angelina, Max, Brendon, Alison, Sandy, Ron, Danny, and Ethan. We usually just get a game of frisbee going and play until we get tired. Other times we play soccer for a while or another sport before everyone arrives at the field. Yesterday, November 6th we played football with some people before frisbee started. They came over to lincoln with a football and decided to play. So Ron, Jon, Danny, Max, and I decided to challenge them. Of course we won and they left in shame. So then we played frisbee.

Frisbee was great. It was really slippery though and everyone was getting all muddy. We played for a couple hours running up and down the field. Score after score until finally someone got hit in the neck and went down. I was scared because he is one of my best friends and i didn't want him to be seriously injured. He was lying on the ground for a good five minutes until he got up. Finally he got up and got some water and Jon took him home.

After Jon left everyone started getting ready to go because he had brought the Frisbee's. We all washed the mud off of our feet and started calling our parents. It was dark by this time and we were all exhausted. My dad came and we took Steven and Andrew home. After dropping them off i went home exhausted got something to eat, watched some TV, and went to sleep ready for today.

Ranting: pt 2

So far i have written mainly about sports. That was my main goal in the beginning. I have been writing about baseball and also other things such as how my weekend was going or about a good movie i have watched. I started out only wanting to write about baseball and now it has turned into writing about other things. I think i liked my other idea of "Trail Mix." That idea was my third option which i liked the best because i do not have to stick to a certain topic when i am writing.

I have been using this idea because i would rather not stick to writing about just baseball but i also have the freedom to write about baseball three weeks in a row if i want to. This option worked for me last quarter and i think i will stick with it for the next one.
