Last Day of School

School's out!!!! It's summer time now. The long 10 month school year ended today. It has been a very fast freshmen year of high school and it has been tough. The journey isn't easy. But I made it through and got experience on how high school is like. And now, we get over 2 months off to relax and enjoy and then start studying again.

Today was also the last day of Finals. My 2 finals today were history and math. For Mr. Wat's test, it was again confusing and I got a 256/350 but it didn't really matter much to my grade as I had a 97. Mr. Wat also gave us a 55 pt curve. Boy Mr. Wat is really nice. He curves every test. It has been fun in his class this year for MUN. We also saw the music video Mr. Wat made for us for the pennys for patient drive. He changed the lyrics of Let it Rock and included all of us. Really cool. It should be posted on youtube soon.

In math, the final was 50 questions but 500 points, meaning each question is 10 points. But having a multiple choice math test is good as you can just plug the answers into the equation to see if it is true if you are stuck. Overall, I don't think it was too bad. I didn't understanding one question on the bearing but its ok. So after that, school ended. I came home and relaxed as summer vacation began.

This freshmen year was like a roller coaster ride. It had its highs and lows. High school is a lot diffrent from middle school as you have to study everyday for quizes or openers (math). You cannot slack off and that's wht I did the first part of the year. But after a few months, I finally picked it up and realized my mistakes and tried to fix them. Some were fixed and some are still in the work of progress. But sophmore year is where it all counts now towards college. First semester, I had a 3.3 GPA and was on the freshmen basketball team. Second semester, I played golf in the spring and should finish with a 3.5 GPA as of rite now. It will only go up as I'm not sure how math will end up. It is on the border. I realized sports take up a lot of time as you have to be dedicated and devoted to it. It can take away your study time. I joined Key Club but didn't really do anything as I was filled with many activities. I had a lot of fun this year with all the activites there are in high school such. Although my grades weren't up to my expectations, this year was a learning year. It has been Soooooo fast. I still remember the first day of school where I kept my eye on my schedule the whole time.

Next year sophmore year, I will probably do Cross Country and not do basketball anymore. It doesn't seem right for me. In the spring, I will still do golf as I am working on my golf game rite now. I will practice a lot in the summer and will try to attend as many workouts for cross country as possible. Also, I saw my preliminary schedule for next year. It will be full of honors class so I will have to be ready. Also, I want to join some clubs and participate more. Next year will be sophmore year but I don't want to think about school right now.

So its summer time and I will use the time off to do a few things. First, going to summer camp for boy scouts from this Sunday to Saturday at catalina island, Cherry Valley. I will do some scuba diving and some kayaking, canoeing, and lots of water activites. Then after a 2 week break, I will be heading to Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico on a 2 week backpacking trip. It's summer time and I will be packed.

The Lakers Victory Parade and Celebration was pretty cool today. They paraded down Figueroa from STAPLES Center to the Coliseum. There were over 250,000 people there todaym 95,000 in the Coliseum. It was all Lakers fever everywhere. The cool part was that they set up the Laker floor in the field. Lakers are the 2009 champions and will repeat next year...
