Pokemon

Yesterday, I finally got the game I wanted for my entire life. I finally got Pokemon Soul Silver. Not only did I get the game, I also got the Poke Walker. I can train my pokemon while walking so during track practice, i get to train my pokemon and myself. There's no downside to this. I was excited when the first Silver version came out but now that this re-make is out, it makes me love pokemon even more. Now I can be fast in track and a pokemon master.Gotta catch 'em all.

Golf

This week, we started to play Golf for PE and I don't think it is that fun. It was pretty fun while we were able to hit the golf balls in the gym, but when we had to play in the wet grass in the morning during 1st period, it is a problem. I had to bring an extra pair of socks everyday and it takes a little longer to change. For example, i was late this morning to 2nd period because i had to spend extra time to change socks and shoes. Besides that, it's really fun playing golf because I think that I can hit the golf balls pretty far. When the cones, or holes, get too close, I'm not as good because a lot of the grass is in the way.

Mills Track Meet

Yesterday, we had a track meet at Mills and it was our first home meet in 7 years. It was a meet against Carlmont. It was really weird because I was a distance runner and out of all the distance runners, i was the only one running the 400, 800, and 4x400 while everyone else were forced to run the 800, 1600, or 3200. The meet was pretty fun but i was a little disappointed at how we only left class at 2:00 because i thought that we needed much more time than that to set up the hurdles, polevaulting, and other things. Overall, the meet was very fun and I hope that I run faster in other events.

David Webb

David Webb went to our class this week to show us his vacuum. It wasn't a vacuum for cleaning things but it showed us pressure and how it can change different things at different pressures. I learned a lot of about pressure because we were able to visually see all the different things at higher levels of pressure. It was cool to see how the marshmallow started to expand and get bigger but after he released the pressure, the marshmallow shrunk and it was basically deflated and didn't have any of its air left. Brandon gave some of the marshmallow to me and it was very chewy so it wasn't like a regular marshmallow which made it kind of disgusting but it still tasted the same. Overall, the presentation was very good and i wish that he could present more things to us.

Terra Nova Track Meet

Today, I was at the track meet at Terra Nova. The races were all really intense as everyone was really fast. I was running the 400, the 800, and the 4x400. I thought that I could've done better for the 400 and the 800 because before those races, I felt really dehydrated and that I couldn't run any faster than I could. If I drank more water the night before, I think that I would've gotten better times for my races. The 4x400 was a little different for some reason because I felt like I actually ran that a lot faster than the 400 and 800. Maybe it was because I ate a lot of food before the race and then I had more energy. Overall, the meet was pretty fun but it was always a little scary right before the race because it seems that everyone else is so much faster than me.
