Today Was Solid

I woke up and had a solid day of school. It wasn't too tough and it wasn't too easy and it wasn't too boring and it was pretty much just right. I had a decent time and was able to relax. The rest of the day went easily, I was a little tired.

I went to the detention room and asked Lynott for a break. He said sure and I went to track.

Going to track was lots of fun. I got a nice sweater as a generous and compassionate gift from Austin Tolbert. That was very nice. I was warm.

Being at track was lots of fun.

I went through the warmup and headed down to jump. Wait, not yet. I got my measurement and got in line. Then I remembered that I had the one-hundred.

I went on over to the one-hundred and finished second, maybe third. Not a terrible time for a first, not incredible of course, but still all right: 13.2

Then I got back in line and took my first jump:
15'1"

Not bad for a start.

Then I waited a while and started again:
oops, didn't know it was the furthest back that got measured
I caught myself with my hand
and got only a 13'7"

Ouch.

Did it again after quite a while.
Tired and getting a little rough:
13'10"
fell on the butt

200 Time:
28.5

.5 longer than last time
guess that's what happens
when you don't go to practice
stupid research paper
oh well
it might have been worth it.

4x400 almost killed me:
we finished 4/6

We worked hard but I got passed
first straight was into the wind
that really sucked

learned a lot
had some fun
wore myself out
came out proud

By the way, it doesn't make much sense to me when people say that God is a pacifist. When you get to know him in the Old Testament, he ends life pretty abruptly. He also is a violent and passionate protector of those whom he loves; remember the Egyptians? It's not like they swam home after the sea came crashing down on them.

Read Israel's song in Exodus 15
"The Lord is a warrior; Yahweh is His name."
Verse Three

God's not always so easy going.
He gets pissed sometimes.

Good night.
