State!!

Today we had state for cross country! The boys won and the girls gave a great effort and had placed third. It has been a very long day and a very tiring one too. Lots of sitting and running and cheering and waiting and other things but over all it was a blast. On the way there I got to talk with a lot of my cross country friends. We were so excited though on the way there. But it kind of stunk that the ride was so long to get there. Also by the way the race is in Nacadish? I think that is how you spell it. I want to give a little shout out also to my boy Kris who place seventh in the whole race! As a freshman. That is so crazy, but we had a great time and it was awesome way to finish out the season.

Why is the Internet awesome?

To me one of the greatest things anyone has ever invented was the internet. One of the amazing things in when this person did this it just created s many more things anyone person could of imagined. It really got the ball rolling with creation of transferring information. Now in 2013 we could do so many more things than anyone could of imagined 20 years ago. That is crazy to me. Things like YouTube were something like 60 hours of content is uploaded every minute is crazy to me. It is easier to talk to anyone now more than ever. I can see if one of my friends is online, where they are, and even what they are doing. I can do something in seconds which would have taken days to do before, and that person could respond quickly too. You can buy things online and have them shipped to you or buy something electronically. For projects you can find ridiculously larges amounts of information on anything everywhere. All the things you can do now is amazing thanks to one invention, the internet. So thank you creator of the internet because I might not be able to do this blog right now. So thank you and thank you internet.

Things

Well cross country ended today and that is sad. We had out final meet, Metro. I did okay, I got a 12:17. I still think I could get under 12 but it is good to finish the season with a personal record (pr). The season just seemed to go by so fast. We started with the summer practices, then the beginning of the season, and final we our here today. It is sad to see it go but it really was a fun season.

Now it is time for soccer to start though. I am so excited to start the new season. Soccer has always been a blast to do and now it is even more fun. I have all my freshmen friends and it is all great again. The high school season is very different from middle school (isn't everything). Middle will not start playing games for a long time and high started last week with the Woodlawn scrimmage. The team tied 2-2, it was an okay game but we can play much better so I think we will be okay. The season is going to be such a blast.

Survival island experience

The activity that we did in class was so cool. It was a cool idea to just drop everybody and be like survival. The situation that our class had planned out seemed to work really well if our separate groups did their jobs. Our class decided to break the class up into groups and have each individual group gather something or do something very specific. The five groups we had were fire, shelter, food finding, plane parts finding, and young lings caring. If everyone did their selected jobs I think that our class would do very well on a survival island.

The thing is though what would happen in real life. Would everyone on the plane crash live or want to corporate. Sure it is easy to say you will do something when your life is on the line but what happens when the food finding group doesn't find enough food for everyone. Who doesn't eat? What about when the first night their isn't enough shelter for everyone. Who doesn't get a shelter. what about when one night the fire starts/ keeper let fire go out? What happens then. I am just saying if everything turned out fine and dandy we would be okay ,but I have a feeling things might go south very quickly.
