You know how you get that good feeling when you finally get something done. That big project or that long presentation or even taken a big test or losing weight. That is starting to happen to me I got my big projects done and over with. I am getting a lot leaner. It really goes to show that you can do anything and I do mean anything if you stay with it and put your mind to it. Hopefully it is for the better, mine are atleast. I am kind of just trying to get through the rest of the week so I can get to superbowl weekend and hang wit friends and chill. My dad has also started workin out with me too. So, he said we can go to a sporting goods store, and spend a stack or two on a home gym. My dedication to really whatever I do is pretty strong.

Goals
Sunday, January 29th, 2012
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.

Forced Books
Friday, January 20th, 2012
Reading, for me, is a pretty constant endeavor. During breakfast, on the train, in bed, and in other moments of freedom, I like to pick up a book. But there’s a strange phenomenon that goes on with my reading choices: when I don’t have to read the book, I want to read it more than when I’m told to read it. For example, last summer I read a pretty interesting history of the western world for fun. But when I got my reading assignments for that semester, which included another book on western history, I was less enthusiastic. I think this had less to do with repetition and more to do with the idea that if something is forced on you, it seems less desirable. I haven’t yet found a way to get too pumped up about my class’ book list, but it helps to take classes I’m genuinely interested in. Even though I might not experience the un-put-downable-book feeling when it’s a forced read, I’ll still be able to get through the book – and hopefully learn something.

Tough Choices
Tuesday, January 10th, 2012
In my school district we have two high schools and we have too many people going to one high school. There’s a lottery for one hundred people to see if they can go to the other high school, and I’m stuck in between going to one high school and another. We have a lot of people transferring to the other high school for football and I don’t know what I should do because a lot of the football players are going to the other school and I want a starting position, but if you think what is best for the team I should go to the other high school because, then we would have more playmakers. I don’t know but I want a championship ring and I’m going to have to pick so I am going to just wait and see what happens if I stay, but then again I might go.
