It was a good day

While I may have gotten to school late, wearing dirty sweatpants, hungry, and tired but the day turned out pretty well.

Since there's still MCA testing going on and the most of the band has them first hour, we aren't doing anything. So while everyone else hung out in the big band room Calvin and I went into the smaller band room. He played with the percussion stuff and I took a nap. 
Second hour History was nothing new. We were assigned a small group project and then he left for the rest of class. The project is to study Vietnam using our book, and History.com then to make a 25-30 slide power point on it, and afterwards we will be tested upon it. 
In English I zoned out a lot, but it's okay we were just finishing up presentations and I still managed to take notes. 
It's Wednesday so we had 3.5 hour, I read my book and somewhat paid attention to the video we were suppose to be watching. No ever pays attention in that class, it's a complete waste of money. The goal of it is to prepare kids for after high school, but it's not helpful. It does nothing to prepare us for the real world, even the teachers agree. 
Biology was fun, and I had a nice conversation with Pav after class about age and societies fixation on it. 
Then for lunch I hung out in the little alcove like area outside the small band room and jazz choir room doors. After conversing with Jackie I took a nap. 
I have math fifth hour and was glad to learn that even though I wasn't in that class for most of the past two weeks, I quickly caught onto what it was they had learned.  Now just gotta finish catching up on that classes make-up work.
Sies hora. Tengo la clase de Espanol. No me gusta la clase de Espanol. No hablo, escribir, escuchar, o leer Espanol. No comprendo Espanol. 
Thank goodness that I have seventh hour study hall. During it I finished an English test, worked on a drawing and attempted to hack my way through some Spanish. 

Track was easy. Just ran to Murphy Hill and did 10 hills. The best part was when this dog came out of nowhere after the second hill and adopted us. By the eighth hill we realized we should send him on his way home and I tried. I ran a little ways away from the sprinters and he followed. When I told him home he looked at me with those puppy dog eyes, and when I said it firmer he slowly turned around and walked back to the team. I said I was sorry and he came trotting back to me. He's so cute! Sadly we had to return him and ran to KJ's (coach) aunt's house where we called his owners. Then it was back to the high school to work on high jump. We changed how I approach the bar and my form's look better! 

Before I go away, I have one more thing to say. Jessie Diggins is having a party of sorts for all people within the Nordic ski community. I'm currently attempting to find any ride possible so as to be able to go. She's kinda my idol. Hopefully all works out! If you want to find out more about who she is or about the party just click in her name above!

Goodnight and goodbye!

BSU Meet Two

Well yesterdays meet was pretty interesting. For starters there were 29 schools crammed into one small building. That was horrible, it got very hot and very crowded fast. The best part was that my friend Maggie was there! Which also means that Colton was there. That was so awkward. Just an FYI this post is about the social aspects that went on during the meet and not so much the actual meet stuff. I'll start with Colton because the rest of it is just weird ... Anyways, Colton was there. I tried to avoid him as best as I could but due to the fact that he long jumps, or maybe it was triple jump I wasn't really paying attention, and that our camp was right next to the pits I saw a lot of him. Also I hung out at Maggie's team's camp and he's on her team. Turns out she doesn't have that high of an opinion of him either. It was really creepy because he kept looking at me, like every chance he got! Then he comes up tp me and accuses me of stalking him! Maggie and I w

JNQ at Mt. Itasca

Yes, I did another JNQ race, and this time it was at home. The day before the race I had a high school one. It was our first (and only) pursuit of the season and man was it a sad one. Most of the time either couldn't make it or was sick. Maggie showed up and wound up just going home. The two of us went out to do a warm up/see the course ski and after the first hill she was dying. That weekend she had an uber high fever and was just sick. I went and did the first race and just had to puke the entire time. Afterwards I did wind up puking a couple of times, and decided that I just shouldn't do the second race. Even though I was sick Friday I still decided to race on Saturday.I did the women's 5k and think I did decently. It was a tough course, well mostly it was just a tough beginning. This is what we did; the right horseshoe into the swamp loop, up the switch back climbed all the way up the way, did a loop up top, went down part of bunny hill connected to the service road,

First distance run in awhile...

KJ was gone today because of the Elite meet, and so he left us with a workout and put Amber in charge. Amber is a student at the college studying to become a physical educator  She's almost, but not quite, an assistant sprinting coach.  Some pictures from the Elite meet. Courtesy of KJ: The workout was just 4 laps with 100 yrd sprints on the straightaways, 10 100s with 40 second rests between. The weight room was locked and since Amber isn't an official coach she doesn't have a key and we couldn't workout. I don't think anyone was sad. That was the earliest the girls sprint team has ever finished. Usually we're the last ones there, because KJ just talks and talks. I decided that since I haven't really been training for the half-marathon well at all since track started that I should probably go for a run. Start gathering some miles up. WORST IDEA EVER, actually that's a lie. I've had worst ones. Like working out with Nick. I
