La Conner Track Meet

Yesterday we went to la Conner and I did really bad. In discus i only threw 65 feet and i usually throw in the 70's. In high jump I only cleared the first height which is 4 feet and I got out on 4 feet 2 inches. In the 100 meter dash I did alright but still not very good. Langley still took first in discus even though everyone wasn't throwing well. Mason took first place by a half inch. , but i don't know how far it was, I think it was like 80 something feet. In high jump I thnk langley won 7th grade but not 8th grade. In the 100 meter dash langley won both heatsof 8th grade boys. overall it was fun except for the bus ride home i had a headache.

Track Meet

On monday we went to sultan and langley dominated. Sultan only got 15 points for the 8th grade boys and ours got 62 points. In discus i did alright i got 66 feet 8 inches. langley took first second and third for discus. Mason got first, casey got second and garret got 3rd. I was right after garret. In high jump I did alright but not very good I was one away from placing in that too. A sultan kid won high jump and langley was 2nd and 3rd. In the 100 meter dash it was funny because it was all langley, nobody from sultan did the 100. I did really bad in the 100 because I didn't get off my blocks soon enough. We missed a couple relay because it started pooring down rain, so we left early. over all it was a pretty fun track meet.

Skateboarding video

In bergquist we watched a skateboarding video.

I like the video because I like to skateboard and also because the explosions were cool. I want to know if they were actually damaging the skatepark or if it was just special effecs, if they were actually damaging it I wonder if thay had to pay for it or maybe they owned the skatepark. I wonder if they were professional skateboarders, My favorite part of the video was when the guy did a kickflip over the stairs and the stairs blew to pieces.

Mentor

For my 8th grade project my mentor I have Mr. Terhar. I don't really like him because he is mean to me. It is pretty funny when he kicks Alex and Shane out of the multipurpose room because it is funny to listen to them whine. I can't really judge him though because I havent really got to know him very well. I don't know why he is my mentor because I think that Mr. B whould be a better mentor for me because he knows more about gillnetting. I don't think that he will be a good mentor because he will probably just mes up my project.

Skateboarding

A couple days ago I went to the skate park because I hadn't gone skateboarding in a long time. I always wanted to be able to drop in but I had never done it before. This time I wanted to do it really bad. So I tried it first on the small quarter pipe. The first time I did it I fell straight on my butt. I tried a few more times and finally got it down. After that I tried the smaller sidee of the half pipe wich is bigger than the quarter pipe. I fell a few times and then got it down. Then I went to the biggest part of the half pipe and I did it the first time. Now I can drop in and I am happy.

Dog

A couple of weeks ago my dad's friend Ronnie Carlson wanted us to watch his dog named Hank while he went on vacation. I think that Hank is going back home today or tommorow. Hank is some kind of small curly haired dog, but him and my golden lab named Zena, it is reall spelt Xena but i spell it Zena get along. It's funny because my dog eats her dog food and his, so we have to feed them at different times. Its funny when they play around and fight because Zena always pins him on the gruond. It is going to be sad when Hank has to go because everyone is kind of attached to him, especially Zena.

8th Grade Project

For my rth grade project I might be able to hang a net for my dad to use but I don't know if he whould let me because I am not very experienced with it, so if i can't hang a new one he might let me just strip one of our old nets and just let me hang it with the same web. If i can't do net hanging I might rebuild the engine on my go-kart or something. Maybe if I can't do either of those things, we have an old style dump truck that doesn't run and needs to be cleaned up and stuff, it is an international. I could get that running for my project. If not any of those I could build something like a treehouse or something like that. It is kind of a hard decision. Maybe if my dad taught me some stuff about net hanging and gave me some practice I could hang a new one.

SUMMER

This summer we went on a road trip to california to see some of our family. It was my step aunt and uncles 30th wedding anniversary and all of my step family was there. We brought our dog with us. They had a pool that me and my step sister swam in. They had a dog too and whenever I whould throw a ball for my dog the other dog whould take it and not let my dog play with it. When we stayed the night we had to sleep in tents, it looked like a camp site. There was so much good food. The only thing that I didn't like was the drive. But it was ok because on the way we stopped at my other aunt and uncles for a while.

SUPER BOWL

I wanted the new york giants to win but before the superbowl I was pretty surre that the patriots whould win, but they didn’t . There was alot of things counting on this game, like the dolphins had a resord for the perfect season, and if the patriots won they whould have broke that record. I think that the turning point of the game was when Eli Manning broke loose of those three or four guys that whould have sacked him. The funniest part of the game was when at the last play of the game nobody whould get off of the field. For the superbowl I went over to JJ’s house to watch it. I think that this superbowl was my favorite superbowl was my favorite one so far. It was a very important game and i think that alot of people will remember it for a long time.

Brother

When my little borther was like four or five years old and i was 9 or 10, we went to Wal-Mart and when we got back we were unloading the car and then it hapened. My mom was just about to close the car door when my little borther reached his hand into the car to grap one of his toy’s. Right when he pulled his hand away the closing door caught his pointer finger between it and the car.My brother let out a high pitched squeal, he was in serious pain. He pulled his finger away and the tip of his finger was dangling on by just a thread of skin, my mom was freaking out, she picked him and took him into the house, and wrapped his bloody finger up in a cloth. She told me to go start the car, so I did, then she drove to the hospital and my brother got his finger tip stiched back on, he ended up being ok but it was scary. I always make sure that it is clear before i close my door now.
