What Up Long Blog

well it's been a long time since my last blog and i felt it on a real downer not so i have a lot to say.
i did end up going to the football game because i used my sweet talk on my parents and explained the full extent of the situation... that we had been planning on things to do homecoming Friday for a long time. it was cool because i was able to communicate with my parents (which i struggle with) to get what i wanted. Friday did turn out amazing even though we got our ass kicked in football. me and drew and Chris went all out on the face painting and hair. ya amazing. except Sarah Barry was isolated from the group and this made a sad panda.
Saturday i woke up and began the amazing journey that was the marathon. we drove up in the morning and got there just in time to go to Nike Town (which was the largest most pointlessly crowded store ever) we bought sweat bands... even though they supported sweatshops. then me and Chris realized that we forgot our tickets and all the really important things we needed to enjoy the weekend back in SLO. it turned out OK, but it was stressful and made me feel stupid because it was like i was in 5Th grade and forgot my permission slip.the marathon was amazing, we got so tired and created so many lasting memories in those two and a half hours. standing in the cold waiting to run dodging though crowds of eager women, and powering though the pain. most importantly we found Mrs. Avery in the last 100 yards and we finished with her. it was amazing. the spent the rest of the day sore and watching football then going to the dance. it's weird to think that i ran a marathon with my 11Th grade English teacher.
Monday we came home, and i had to start preparing for today's Youth and Government meetings. Katie, my adviser, and me and drew and Chris met and talked about Tuesday for 2 hours. Tuesday was crazy, i had a meeting before school, i felt like a true business man. then school was crazy because i had a sorts of make up work then homework and youth and government again. in the early meeting i made a presentation on Parliamentary procedure to a YMCA board... i got really nervous but it turned out OK. then i spoke in front of all the delegates parents... a lot of public speaking which a hate but is good for me. you know i feel like i have grown more in these last few days then i have in month. and the cool thing is a did it all with out the help of my parents... the ultimate sign of Independence? I think maybe.
