Winter Break

My break wasn't as fun as I hoped. Up to Christmas was fine but after that, I got sick. The entire week after I was stuck in my bed all day with the flu or something. Luckily Christmas was good so everything wasn't a complete disaster. I ended up get a new flatscreen T.V. for my room and a new iPhone. After the week of Christmas passed, I started feeling better. Unfortuneately, I was supposed to go up to Flagstaff to go snowboarding but as you can pobably guess, it didn't happen. This bummed me out because I love snowboarding. The rest of the week I spent hanging out with friends and playing soccer. I also ended up painting my room on Saturday which was harder than I expected.

My Earliest Memory

The earliest memory that I can remember was from when I was around 6 i think. It was on a vacation to Florida and we rented a sailboat for the day. The part I remember most is the part when I was aloud to drive but other than that, I can't remember much else of the trip. I'm not sure why that memory is so prominent but it is and hopefully the only reason I remember it is because isn't because I see the picture a lot.

Pets

I have two dogs name Max and Sammy. They are both mixes between a golden retriever and a minature poodle, a.k.a a goldendoodle. I love my dogs and couldn't imagine not having them.

The best part of Thanksgiving...

To me, the best part of Thanksgiving is the food. Because only my grandma comes over, who I see everyday, family isn't the best part. If the rest of my family did fly to spend Thanksgiving with us it might be another story but because they don't, its not.

Journal Entry 20

Last night sucked. Right after school I had soccer practice and all we did was conditioning and sprints. Then right after that, I had to go to therapy for my hand for an hour, which is one of the most boring things ever, and then finally, I had to rush home and get ready for my club soccer practice. By then I was beat and to my luck, all we were doing was conditioning just like my school practice. When I finally got home at 9:30, I still had to do my homework and eat and everything else. I didn't end up going to sleep until 12:30, and I'm so tired today.

Journal Entry 19

Over the three day weekend I was pretty busy. On top of a soccer tournament, we had some family in town so it was non-stop driving. It felt like the only time we were at home was at night and even that wasn't very long because I ended up having to wake up at around 6 every morning for soccer. Thankfully they left yesterday morning and after soccer practice I was able to crash. I think I fell asleep at around 7 and didn't wake up until this morning.

Letter to Teacher

Dear Teacher,
I feel your class is enjoyable and reasonable for the most part but I really don't like when you make us copy down notes for multiple days in a row. I like the fact that we can print them out and not have to take them but it isn't always that easy to remember. Also, I enjoy more hands on learning than just watching you work stuff out at the whiteboard. You should get the rest of the class more involved and on projects, you should give us more time than a few days, especially on the ones that involve writing essays. Another thing is that because you don't take grades on the homework, I have less of an influence to do it which respectively shows on my test scores. I was hoping that we might be able to work something out and that you actually take the time to think about this. Thank you for your time.
Your Student,
Alex
