The Last Days In Photos

Hello.

I've been meaning to write for forever, but got busy with stuff.

Anyways, I've been having a lovely 'Spring Break'. While everyone seems to be doing something awesome with this week off, I've been doing school. But that's okay. It's still been pretty fun. So here's what I've been up to when I'm not doing school: (just a note, some of the pics. are a little blurry)

 I've been outside all the time these past few days. The weather's been so brisk and refreshing compared to our usual Florida spring weather, so I've enjoyed the fresh air.

 A big debate is coming up for me at my homeschool group. My teacher has called it 'The All-Star Debate' because it's the highest scoring people against each other in a 2 vs. 2 debate. I have 13 minutes of speaking, so that leads me to do lots of planning... 

I've been journaling like always. I took this photo zoomed into some words on some random page, so I honestly have no idea what I was writing about. Recently I've been writing about awkward random thoughts that happen to come into my head. My journals are going to be seriously interesting to read someday...

Colored jeans!!! YAY! You can't see the color too well in this photo, but they're plumb colored and amazing. ;)

Monopoly: The game you play when you have 20 minutes to waste, but you instead end up playing 2 hours.

I finally learned how to Ripstik! I'm so happy about that! I also completed one of my goals. Anyways, it's awesome. It's fun. And for someone with no sense of balance, it actually went pretty well.

On rare occasions, when I'm extremely bored I draw video game characters. They're easy enough to draw, and pretty fun. This is Toon Zelda. I don't even know what video game she is in, but I decided to draw her. Soon I'll add color and post when I'm done... a work in progress...

Finally, I've been shooting and dribbling a generous amount. If I want to improve by next basketball season, I'm starting now. Being the worst on my team really pushed me to work harder during the season, so I might as well get a head start for the next one. 

...and there you have it. Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

The End of the Season

Today was Districts, and we lost the first game... and now our season's over. 

Honestly, I wasn't expecting us to be out of it this soon. I thought we had a good chance. I thought we might win... but this game ended, and it was all over.

While this wasn't how I wanted to end my first season of basketball, it was okay. It was fun while it lasted. I made the best friends, got better at a sport a love, and enjoyed every minute of the competition. Can't wait till next year ;)

Basketball Practice

Today was my first day of Varsity Girl's basketball practice. It was maybe a little harder than I expected it to be, but still pretty good. It was terrible and fun at the same time. Yes, I know that sounds weird but let me explain. 

The terrible parts: After the first half hour I was convinced I'd throw up from all the strenuous work. 

I was the only girl on our team who has never played on a basketball team, and it was easy to tell. 

I was REALLY BAD at suicides. 

I was the only one who couldn't touch my toes. 

Sounds pretty terrible, right? Okay, well despite that it was really fun. 

The fun parts: I won a game of knockout.

My passes weren't half bad. 

Everyone on the team was really nice.

...and even with all the problems I just LOVE basketball and so it was fun. 

So yes, I am majorly out of shape and have a lot of work to do, but it was awesome. That sounds weird, but is true :)
