Basketball

Basketball season started this Tuesday. The new coach has started the season with meetings and talks about his past coaching career and what we are going to be working on in the future to be a better team. Last year we gave up too many points because of defensive breakdowns and miscommunication. We gave up around 20-30 points in the first half last year. During the practices this week we have been working on conditioning and defensive game plans. We have been introduced to new gameplays such as 23-jump, 3-2 zone, and 2-3zone. They are all zone defense that we will be using in future games. The new coach seems to have more coaching experience and knows what he is doing. I hope this season we can go undefeated and get back to the CIF playoffs again. Since there is not that much time left too because as a junior in high school there are only 2 years left.

Fear of procrasination

At the end of my sophomore year, I had to choose my classes for junior year and I had 2 options. I could take normal classes probably have more free time and be less stressed or I could challenge myself to do AP classes, have barely any free time and a lot of stress. Me being the great decision-maker I am I choose to sign up for 5 AP classes. During the summer while I was working on summer assignments I quickly realized 5 APs would simply be to much. Knowing I would have my license and more freedom I didn’t want to spend all my time doing school work, so I dropped one. It is now the end of the first quarter and I’m doing great my social life is thriving and so is my academic life. There is a lingering fear in the back of my head that I will fall behind and my grades will drop but this hasn’t happened yet. I’ve been consistent in all my classes and I really do hope this continues. I have learned to have a positive attitude, even if I feel everything but positive. Changing my outlook on school has made doing my homework and studying so much easier. Today is Halloween and the first day of school I’ve missed all year which is very impressive as last year I missed way to much school.

Pintrest

I think a girl’s Pinterest page is a direct representation of who she is as a person. I feel like Pintrest understands me more than anybody in the world. I know that sounds dumb because of the “Pintrest girl” stereotype, but that’s not what I’m talking about. I’m talking about the way that when you scroll through the pictures, you see something that represents every single part of you. I can stop at any point in my feed and on the screen there will be my dream nails, a heart-wrenching quote, an angel wing tattoo, outfit inspiration in my ideal style, and art. It is the most aesthetic and calming thing to scroll and just feel so understood. 

It must be so boring to be a boy. I just can’t imagine what they even do for fun. And like what do they spend their money on? I have so much makeup and little girly things that must have cost me so much money. I also love getting ready in the morning. Imagine waking up and just showering and getting dressed.

first comp

This weekend is my first riding competition of the season. I’ve moved up a level since last season and I am a little nervous. I’ve only actually done my whole dressage test like .75 times because I never got to finish it since Cara started getting spooky at the end. I think i have it memorized but to be honest i’m not totally sure that the test I have memorized is the actual test… Okay update while writing this I decided to look at the test and I do have it correctly memorized. But I don’t have much time to practice because I’m only officially scheduled to ride twice this week but I think I’m going to be able to get some extra time in. i really like the new trainer Katrine, she’s pretty easy to schedule with and gives very in depth instructions. The only hard thing is that her and the old trainer George have some different teaching styles so sometimes one will ask you to do something while the other asks for the complete opposite. it can get confusing sometimes. Well that’s all, wish me luck!
