I got to talk to my high school football coach last week and I am going to get dedicated to it. Starting in spring workouts. Weight lifting and conditioning. Practicing with Varsity football players freshman year and hopefully starting. I have a lot of stuff going through my mind especially scholarships. I want to go to college, but I guess I got to get through high school first. I realized all the classes I have to take to get a diploma. A lot of classes and a lot of math and all those other hard subjects that I have to pass to get through high school. I also feel like it gets harder to pass high school, let alone get into college. I feel like they make it harder every single year to make it life. So, I have to up my game again just to maintain above C’s.

Old Times
January 28th, 2012
Remember when we didn’t know what fashion was? When all you cared about was who ran the fastest and who could kick the ball the farthest? We were all once like that, started out having fun in the playground playing Tag, dodge ball, and walk the plank? It was better then, not how we were programmed to be. As we grew older we forget all that and learned that we were only cool if we threw the best parties, if we wore the best clothes, if we had the most up-to-date cell phones. That didn’t exist once upon a time, what made us change into this materialistic world? The world has changed and keeps changing but that doesn’t mean we have to change the way we see people. If you once had a friend but won’t talk to them now because they aren’t cool enough, maybe its time you talk again. Money doesn’t change people, its people that change for money. Choose who you want to be, and who your friends truly are, sometimes the morals we learned as kids are the most important things we could ever learn.

Apprehension
January 27th, 2012
Growing up, every Sunday felt ominous. Even though it was a day off, I would spend it in fear of the Monday to follow, when school would resume, homework would be due, and playtime would be drastically reduced. It got to the point where I would want Monday to come, just so I could stop worrying about its arrival and get it over with. This sort of cuts down on potential weekend happiness, but the phenomenon persists for me in a larger scope, too, to the point that my last week of winter vacation has been spent with the specter of school’s resumption looming over me. Even though I know I’m probably spending too much time worrying, the thoughts of biology labs gone awry, essays unwritten, and problem sets unfinished persist in haunting me. I guess the good side of this is that it encourages me to look forward to the start of the semester, so I can stop worrying about phantom assignments and actually start doing them.

Changes For Better
January 26th, 2012
To meet the goals that I have set I have started making little changes in my day for better. I have been told it is a better choice than what I was doing before. I have started studying for an hour every day. Doing something school related, like homework, studying, and going over notes and stuff. I have noticed a change in grades from like C’s to B’s, for now soon to be A’s. Also working out an hour a day. Making the most out my time I have. On weekends I haven’t made many changes I’m still mostly chillin. I am even changing my eating habits. Cutting back on chips and fries and fatty food. Just chicken, meat, and milk, and vegatables. A lot of lean foods, and I am feeling leaner to. I am still kind of iffy on it but I am seeing results so I am going to stick to it.
