Yesterday I started tryouts for a new sport at school.  It is boys volleyball. I am really excited for volleyball because I have never played volleyball on a team before, but I have wanted to for a long time.  My dad has taught me and my sisters how to play volleyball a lot because he used to coach women's volleyball at Fresno Pacific University.  It should be a lot of fun!


Tryouts were really fun.  I am happy because nobody at the seventh grade tryouts is getting cut because only eight people showed up.  We are all on the team, and will all have lots of playing time!  Our team might not be great because I don't think anyone has had much experience, but I will definitely be fun.  Mr. Pearson should be a good coach, and it seems like we will  be pretty laid back, at least for now.  I am very excited for boy's volleyball!

 
I am very excited because tomorrow I get to go to the beach.  It should be a lot of fun because I have wanted to go to the beach for a long time now.  The reason I get to go is because me and my friend's mom are friends and they are going to the beach together for a day.  Me and my friend decided to ask if they would bring us along too and they said we could go.  So I am really happy because I also haven't seen my friend in a long time because after sixth grade we went to different schools. 


I think we are going to the central coast near Cambria, which is a place that I really like to go to. My favorite beach over there is called moonstone beach. I like that beach because you can actually find moonstone on the beach, and I have always really liked collecting rocks. Another thing I like about Cambria is all the little shops and restaurants. There is a pizza place that my family likes to go to after a long day at the beach. I can't wait for tomorrow!
 
It has been kind of a stressful week, and I think it is going to be a rather stressful weekend too.  This is because of my many projects that I have due this week and next week.  I have a very bad habit of waiting until the very last minute to do projects.  On certain days that I have long term assignments due the next day, I tend to be up very late at night finishing them, and stressing out.  This is mainly because of my procrastinating, but also because I am a perfectionist, and I can't make a mistake.  I don't know why I let this happen time after time, but I do, and it's not good.

Today I had a French project due, and I did it last night.  I actually probably did the best job I have done before on a project that was last minute.  I was able to finish it pretty early, and I would have to say I did a pretty good job, so I think I will get an alright grade.  But now I have to worry about my math project that is due on Monday.  I have yet to start it, but I think it will be pretty easy.  Then next Friday I have another French project due which I need to do too.  So I think I can do alright as long as I get those two things done over the weekend.
