IM Ultimate Frisbee!!!

I just saw in my computer apps class an old flyer for IM Ultimate Frisbee. I barely remember seeing this my freshmen year and thinking it was cool and only thought it was for an older gym class. I expected to do it in my next few years at De La Salle during gym class. I had completely forgotten about it until now and realized it was never a gym activity, it was an IM sport. However, lately they have not had enough people to do the activity anymore. I talked to the head of IM sports and he said if I can get enough people to do it, we can do it in the spring. I need minimum of 12 students. I have a lot of friends at South Lake High School who would love to do it because I play with them all of the time; however, I don't think they can play here. However I am good and getting people interested in things so I am sure I can get more than enough kids to play by the spring time. I am really good at Ultimate Frisbee and I think it is the most fun sport in the world, and it is amazing exercise. I also like it because I am one of the best at it around and feel like a superstar hahaha.

Grades

So far in this quarter I am doing very well to my surprise. I just checked and I have two 100%s and a 99%. However, I also have a 71%. My other grades are pretty good too, I have a 93% in math, however I can retake some quizzes and boost my grade, also there is a quarterly exam today which I am worried about, hopefully I do well so it helps my grade rather than hurts it.

Michigan State

I finished my Michigan State University application not too long ago and submitted it. I am extremely nervous about being accepted. I really want to attend MSU next year. My older sister is a junior at MSU this year. Tomorrow is her 21st birthday and she invited me and my friend to come visit her today. It is nice to visit her because I have the advantage of previewing the college I hope to attend.

End of Tennis

Last weekend was the last day of high school tennis for me. We went into regionals and were playing to go into states. Unfortunately, we needed two more wins in order to move on to states. We had a good season and I personally had very much fun.

Varsity Lineup Mayhem

Yesterday, the senior on JV tennis, Nick Fisk, was assigned to practice with the Varsity team for the next two days, and then also play in the tournament saturday. This was so Fisk can receive his varsity letter by playing three varsity matches. However, they are considering kicking one player off Varsity so Fisk can be permanent varsity player. The coaches are going to spectate how Fisk plays with the varsity team in the tournament and make their decision.

Homecoming

October 3rd is the De La Salle homecoming. I am worried because my friend invited me to hers which is October 2nd, and now I feel like I have to take her to mine, although I don't know if I want to. Also my friend wants me to take a different girl just so he can take her friend, however I don't want to take her either. There is a girl I want to take but I feel like I can't take her because I either have to take the one that invited me to hers or the other girl to help my friend. It's stressful and I need to figure it out.

College Applications

Today is September 14th, 2010, and I need to be starting my college applications soon. I have hopes to get into Michigan State University, however I am worried about being accepted. I feel that I should apply as early as possible so that it will look better and better my chances of being accepted. I still want to retake the ACT although I have a somewhat decent score now. I need to get recommendation letters from teachers and start my essays and have them proof read. I just need more time, with all of my homework and tennis, it makes it difficult to manage my time and make room for college.

De La Salle vs Cousino

Yesterday we had a match against Cousino. It was very windy, and I do not play well in the wind. De La Salle was clearly the better team, however, Cousino wanted it more. I have played the kid I was against yesterday before. Cousino was in a tournament, and when I played him, it was a great match. I was losing the first set but came back and won. Then he won in the second set. After that I lost the tiebreak. I lost to him again yesterday but it was a much worse match, I could barely hit the ball in the wind. The majority of the team played worse too. Cousino won yesterday when De La Salle could have won. The coaches were not happy.

Tennis Match

Today De La Salle plays U of D in a tennis match. I'm playing four singles today. After school we all meet in the school cafeteria and from there we drive out to U of D as a team. However, the weather has been rainy, so it may be rained out. If the game happens to rain out we will have an early start on our Labor Day weekend, which would be nice. Even if it does not rain out I will be ready to beat U of D.
