I Truly Can't Explain It.





I am having the most wonderful feeling right now, but unfortunately, I have no idea how to explain it. Well first let me tell you how I got so exited and jumpy... It was 2:30, last class of the day and I was pumped. Why you ask, because at 2:35 I get to find out if I made it into Yearbook Staff! Okay, just calm down, you can make it, you can make. 2:32. Just hold on for a couple more minutes then you can freak out. Every thing's fine and you can make it. 2:34. Oh who are we kidding! I'm freaking out!!!!! 2:35. Sprinting down the hallway and dodging anything that got in my way. Bolt in the cafeteria to find that I'm early and have to wait another 3 minutes. Can I get any more anxious, I think not. Finally they call us over to the table to claim our envelopes and, at last, see if our effort paid off. 2:39. I anxiously open my letter but slowed it down for effect. I looked at it with searching eyes, trying to find those few words, Congratulations, you have made it into Yearbook Staff. Suddenly I caught it. 2nd paragraph, 1st sentence. There it was, beautifully typed in gorgeous black print.
That was the moment i started to feel a strange, unfamiliar feeling. It's not a bad feeling, no no no. It's a wonderful, glorious feeling that makes you smile and laugh without warning. It's the best feeling in the world.

Canadians love Hockey, trust me I should know





I don't know about you, but I personally love P.E. It's probably the best thing that ever happened to school. We just started the hockey unit, so being Canadian and all it's sort of in my blood. (my mom says that's a cheesy line but I say it's true) My team and I pretty much dominate, all but today of course, we lost our second game 0-1. It was a sad and tragic loss. That didn't put us down though. For the rest of the time we creamed every single other team we were up against. It made me proud not only to have such friends, but also to have such a great team that can work together no matter what. The only thing that put me down a little bit was, the team that we lost to you know, they were mean and ruthless. I know it's good and all to be a little competitive some times but these guys were hitting people with sticks, smashing fingers, and glaring at everyone. All over a small game of P.E hockey. I know I shouldn't judge, so I won't, but I don't think they should have a change in their personality when it comes to sports. If they're nice when you talk to them at lunch or pass them in the hall then they should be nice when you are playing against them in a sport. Anyway, overall it was an awesome day.
