   Not too bad of a day...
My morning started off well enough, I guess. My school is slightly elevated, so there are two stairs about twenty feet away from the front doors. The stairs are only about a quarter of a foot thick, each. I go to hop up them like I do every morning. *trip*

*THUD*

"Ow."

I scraped my hand and knee, while the backpack held so loosely over my left shoulder was thrown in front of me when I attempted to catch myself.

Not being one to draw attention to myself, particularly in an embarassing situation, I got up quickly and assured those around me that I was fine. Then I power walked upstairs and into homeroom. Great start for the day. -.-

I didn't end up being full awake until the end of third period, where my eyes finally stopped drooping and accepted defeat; I would keep them open, no matter how tired they were. So then I became a bit more aware of my surroundings and what was doing, which was good.

I got a 100 on my Photography quiz, as did my sister. The kid across from me got a 67. We had words. That is, he called me names while I mocked him...

Algebra II was normal, I think, with our teacher futiley telling jokes to a brain-dead class. It was kind of nice; at one point I was the only one who knew the answer to a problem in the entire class of Sophmores, Juniors, and Seniors.

One of the popular kids actually told me to put my hand down. ^_^

English, I again somehow got an answer that nobody had. I only wish I had spoke up sooner. I had an idea that i thought might be the answer, but discarded it, thinking it to be irrelevant. When nobody else could answer, I tried my idea, and it was correct. The eyes of stunned classmates all were upon me.

I love it when my intelligence is the cause of amazement. ^_^ Such an ego booster.

History, more American Revoultion junk. More stuff I already knew. Eh, we'll have a quiz/test soon and be over with it.

Then on to the Student Council Meeting after school. As it turns out, we were only there for about 3 minutes. Apparently this meeting was "just to choose the representatives" for the Sophmore Senate. All the other members went off to other activities.

I waited the previously allotted 15 minutes for my ride. :p

After that, I went home and actually got changed for soccer practice. For those of you who don't know, I am the assitant coach at my old school. With an injured goalie and me in decent clothes, I actually got a chance to do something fun. :D

The coach put me and our other goalie in the goal basically to block what shots we could and then return the ball to him and our injured goalie, who was helping out.

So I got to show off a bit. I hadn't played goalie for a while, but found that my reflexes were untouched by time and that I was still capable of guarding at least half a goal. At one point I blocked to shots at once with a nice fencing lunge. I stuck my foot out backwards to block one, then put my hands forward and caught another. It was nice. :D Then of course, I caught one ball on my foot and it rolled right up my body into my face.

Ha. Ha. Ha. :p

It was fun, expecially since most of the team is comprised of my friends who I rarely see anymore.

Afterwards, more fun at the afterschool Daycare program. The staff all know me, so I was allowed to stay and fool around with my friends. We played Keep Away with a Nerf football until too many people left to have a decent game.

Heh, I'll have to get descriptions of my friends up sometime so I can refer to them and you'll have some sort of idea of who I'm talking about.

Then we randomnly kicked around a few soccer balls until daycare ended and I walked home.

That's about it. Now I have to go to Confirmation class.

Yippee...
