Bummer Man

Today we had our 3rd churchball game. We lost. I was pretty mad about it, but that's just how I am. We played a team that we definitely should have beat, we just couldn't make the plays down the stretch. Now we're at 1-2 and I am definitely not happy about it. Although I can't blame the loss on just one person, I can't help but realize that I didn't score at all in the second half. I need to work on that. We have been outscored in the second half of every game this season. Well, I guess I'll just have to work harder.
On another note, I have semi-accepted my seminary teacher, Brother John's, challenge. His challenge is this: 25,000 push ups by graduation in June...its about 250 push ups a day. Ya, that's quite a bit, but I'm up for it.

YUM!

Today in ProStart we decided to go through and do our entire competition menu which includes teriyaki salmon on a bed of sauted vegetables with yam frites on top and chive garnishes, a miso soup, and apple wantons for dessert. Everything turned out really well, except for...when Zach (the head banded one) was getting ready to deep fry the yams, I told him he had too much oil in the pot. So...he took a cup and removed some of the oil. I still thought he had too much, but I didn't say anything. When he put the yams in the oil, it boiled over the pot, onto the stove, and created a small lake...of 400 degree oil. Well, needless to say, since none of us got hurt, this episode was quite humorous.
But, besides that one setback, everything went really well. The competition is looming (sometime mid February) but I think we'll be ready for it.

You mean I HAVE to take this class?

So apparently here in Utah they have this weird rule that says you have to take a Fit For Life class to graduate. It's basically a very very basic PE class. I mean come on! I'm a senior here and I've had weight training...doesn't that count? Well, according to my councilor, no ninth grade weight training does not fulfill the Fit For Life requirement. Lame. So now I'm in this Fit For Life class that's all sophomores, a couple of juniors, and like 4 seniors.
Today we had our fitness test to see where we stand now and then we'll do it again at the end of the class to see how much we've improved. I managed to grind out 32 push ups in a minute and 50 sit ups in a minute. I was kinda bummed because I had worked out before going to school, so my arms were tired and I wasn't able to do as many push ups as I could have but whatever, it just leaves me room for improvement right?
Well, hopefully this class turns out to be better than it's looking like right now, but I'll just have to wait and see. Oh yea, and the worst part is, it's the first class of the day! Honestly, let me just get all that blood pumping at 7:30 in the morning. Jeeze.

Owie!

So I was thinking that my blog looked pretty empty, and I remembered something disastrous that happened today. So, I was in my ProStart class (It's a competitive cooking class) and I was sauteing some vegetables for our Teriyaki Salmon plate. Well, I was minding my own business when Keegan, one of my group members, came up and scraped some pepper seeds into the vegetables with a knife. As he was scraping the knife blade off on the pan's edge, he managed to slice my knuckle. OW! It hurt. I started gushing blood and screaming my head off. Well, not really. I didn't scream, but it was bleeding a little bit. I think I ruined one of the dish towels with my blood. Anyway, now I have this nice cut on my knuckle, and I'm sure it's going to hurt like a beast in a few days, but whatever.

Woot! I'm a blogger (whatever that means)

So my mom started a Blog, and I thought Hey, that's pretty nifty. Naturally, I couldn't let her get too far technologically ahead of me, so now I've started my own. Hopefully, this becomes something pretty cool, but who knows. Guess I'll just have to see what happens with it. Anyway, so far, it's pretty neat to be a Blogger.
