Guessing Game

Today I went to another one of my sister's soccer games. We arrived a bit late to the game, as there was a detour with a detour in it. My sister was already at the game.

When we got there, I heard the score was 3-0. I wasn't sure if this was correct, and had no clue which team had 3 and which team had 0. One team was happy and laughing, while the other team seemed upset and their coach was mad. Therefore, I assumed the "happier team" had the lead. It turns out, the happy team was losing.

It was almost refreshing in a way, to see people out just having fun, and seemingly not caring a whole bunch about the score. My sister also made a great goal which was a highlight, although next time I should plug my ears after my sister makes a goal because my mom was screaming in my ear. At least they were screams of joy.

Cool Down

Today was another hot day. Instead of hosting a party in the heat, or something crazy like that, we went swimming. It was a lot of fun, and very refreshing. We would jump off the dock on to a big inflatable raft. It was really fun, at least until it got a hole in it and deflated. Even that couldn't deflate the fun we had.

Baked Bliss

Today was our open house to celebrate my graduations. It was also a day of record breaking heat, around 100 degrees. So while it was literally the uncoolest party I've ever been to, it was fun.

I think people had a good time. There was plenty of great food. In fact, I know what I will be eating for the next couple of weeks. There was more food left after the party than was eaten at the party. It was a fun time with family and friends making a memory. Thank you to all who stopped by.

Pre-Party-Panic

Today was all about preparing for tomorrow. To celebrate my graduation, we are having a open house tomorrow. It is sort of our family custom, at least my brother had one when he graduated.

Today, more than previous days, I got a little nervous about the party. There were projects around the house that needed to get done, there is supposed to be record-beating high temperatures tomorrow, and we have no clue how many people will or will not show up to the party. I just want everyone to have a good time. I think things will work out, and maybe I will see you here.

Completion Close

Today was a busy day. It started out with my brother and I going to the drive-in late last night and returning home very early this morning. After getting a little bit of sleep, I went out and worked at my grandparents' house on installing the flooring. We nearly finished today. At home tonight, I almost finished cleaning my room. It was a busy day with a lot getting done, and with several things near completion.

Weird Whirring

Today when I was on my lunch break while working at my grandparents' installing their floor, I heard a strange noise. It was a humming sort of noise. I thought maybe a swarm of bees was about to attack, or something bad was about to happen. It turned out to be two hummingbirds flying close by, that would explain the humming noise. They were fun to watch for the brief amount of time they were near before they zoomed away. They are impressive creatures.

Waiting and Wondering

Today I finally completely wrapped up school. One thing I don't like about college is finals week. Not only is there a lot of pressure and studying, you usually never know how good or bad you did on things.

On the last day of class last quarter, I turned in a research paper I spent a lot of time on. I know what grade I got in the class, but didn't know how I did on the paper. But today I stopped by the college and thankfully my professor was in his office so I was able to pick up my essay. It was nice to finally know how I did on something during finals week, although at this point it doesn't really matter. It was a bit strange and semi-sad saying goodbye to my professor. He said I'll see you around, and I said actually you probably won't. I'm going to miss SPSCC.
