Drain hole hockey

I just had to post this! I was at my grandmas house when Conner all of a sudden said "who wants to play hockey?" I was slightly confused at first, but then we got the croquet mallets. So I said "Oh! Do you want me to set the posts up?" But grandma said "No, he just likes to hit it in that hole over there" so we walk to the top of the garage stairs and Vwalla, Drain hole hockey!

Track Meets

I am really loving cross country! On Wednesday I had my first meet, it was on Whibey island and my parents couldn't come so I was a little nervous at first. But everyone was really nice so I was okay. The race was 1.53 miles and I ran it in about 14 minutes, I was running a 9:09 minute pace. Which means that every mile I ran it would be 9:09, I am super proud of myself because running on the track I could run a mile in about 11:10. But now after practicing and running in high heat and up and down hill, I have tooken off about 2 minutes! I have definetly improved. This upcoming Monday and Thursday I have more meets, my legs are soooo sore. But I am still excited, I am definetly doing cross country next year!

Cross country

Hey everybody! I just wanted to tell you a little bit about cross country, first of all, it's brutal. We run at least a mile and a half every day not including our warm ups and half a mile warm up run. And then once we get back we do planks and twenty push-ups. I can do ten in row. I may have already mentioned this but my first and sixth period teacher are my coaches. Mr.Mecko and Mr.Thompson.  Well that's all I can think about right now so bye!

Back to school

Hey everyone! Sorry that I haven't posted anything for a while, but better late than never right? So anyway. I am now officially a seventh grader! It is really nice to not be treated like a little kid anymore, on Facebook I posted my schedule so if you want to see that just go to my page. I love all of my teachers they are all really nice and treat us kind of like equals, they are also all very funny and most don't like to give out home work, yay! Also when you are in seventh grade you get your own locker instead of having to share one. I am doing cross country, and what's cool about that is that my first and sixth period teachers are my coaches. And also they are both my favorite teachers, even though all my teachers are nice. So school is going great for me! I will hopefully keep remembering to post stuff at least once a week, that is now my new goal! I'll write again soon!
