SUPER BOWL

So there we are its super bowl Sunday and me,chris and casey had some money and we walked to texaco and bought a whole box of laffy taffy which we thought was hilarious after that we walked back and got ready for the super bowl....The first half was really boring because the score was 3-7 patriots winning but at the start of the 2nd half the giants really snapped into the game and scored but then the patriots came right back at them with one but with 35 seconds left in the game eli manning threw a touchdown pass to plaxico Buress which sealed the game and it showed everyone not to count out the underdog

MT BAKER

"You ready avo."yea I said." there we were at the top of chair 7 getting ready for the first run of the season and as i get up i accidently catch my edge and fall over and as i look up chris is gone so i figured he would be at the bottom of the run but when i got there he wasnt there and i had never been to baker before and had no idea where to go so i just said oh well and spent the day up until 2:00pm jut by myself which actually turned out to be loads of fun until i hurt my knee and then my back.The way i hurt my knee was i went off this jump and messed up my landing and fell on my knee and the i hurt my back was i went of this side jump thing and landed on my back but i was ok just sore for a while i even had to get ski patrol for this one girl because she got messed up.All in all it was a good day I think I might have had more fun if i hadnt gotten myself ditched

Skyhawks/Darrington

There we were in darrington getting ready to wrestle i was so pumped because i was coming into this meet 5-0 and didn’t expect to lose but you never know i had two matches that day and one of them was the second match so i had to be ready but this kid was also undefeated so i knew he was going to be good....REAAADDDYYY WRESTLE and were off I take him down but he rolls me but then i roll him back and i get on top and were fighting and fighting but its not going anywhere but by the 3rd round i was so drained and there were still 45 seconds left and he was only 2 or 3 points behind me and i just wanted it to end so i took the easy way out and stared to stall and as i look up again the buzzer goes off and as the reff raised my hand all i could think was YES i had won.

Claymation Reflection

I think that the most fun part of this project was getting to build all of the clay people. At first we got to experiment with clay people and I thought it was funny to see how some of the people experimented with there clay figures. Another fun thing was getting to take all the pictures and upload them to the computer and play around with Imovie and make great animations and add voice and sound. Some other fun things were making the backgrounds and getting to look up how famous your explorer was. What he did. Some people had explorers that were ruthless and cruel and all they did was destroy things and others were kind to the Indians.

The most difficult part of this experience was getting serious and buckling down. So you could get to work and then making the actual clay figures and backgrounds. So you could make your scene and it became kind of annoying having to take 60 pictures for each scene the other difficult part to this was all the noise it became so distracting it was crazy and then you would have to upload all your pictures to Imovie. Wait for 5 minutes on top of that and then edit your pictures after all this you had to add voice while everyone else is trying to add there voice. It’s making so much noise it’s hard to think straight and if you talk to loud then your computer freaks out and then it sounds horrible. Plus it makes you sound horrible. This is what I feel was the most difficult part of this.

The most important thing I learned in this project. Was while your working on something like this project is you really need to stay focused non-stop and always pay attention to what’s going on. Some other things I learned was that when you’re working on a computer you need to make sure if you’re using the microphone to keep a level tone. When making your clay people once there done you don’t want to mess around with them to much because they will get soft and fall apart if u play around with them to much. When making your map to use a ruler and any form of tool you can and to make sure there really colorful.

Wrestling practice

Start Running.... there we are at wrestling practice doing warmup laps and then thompson yells out find a partner thats your weight so me and austin pair up but im about 20 pounds more than austin but oh well so we line up against the wall and thompson says ok hop on your partners back and sprint down to the end and back.. GO so i take off and as soon as i get back we had to switch then the next drill we had to do was pick up our partner by the waist and sprint down and back and after that Thompson yells out ok 10 handstand pushups and at about 7 it started to feel like someone had been rolling a hot skewer up and down my arms and then after that we had to do 10 finger tip pushups and 20 pullups after it felt like someone had tied lead weights to my arms and legs but all in all it was the hardest conditioning practice ever

Granite Falls

So there we were sitting in the multi purpose room and so were the Granite Falls tigers.there was so much tension in the air from the two rival teams it seemed as if the air was thicker than normal.Chris penefiel gets ready to go READYYY WRESTLE about 30 seconds later chris pins his man and hen about 8 matches later it was my turn and i was ready READY WRESTLE i automaticly jump in to it i fake shoot he drives into me i snap him down and throw the half nelson deep and pin him about several matches later i was up again and this time i was wrestling a kid that was 184 pounds which is 30 pounds more than me and i was nervouse because he was BIG so i step out onto the mat and we get ready to wrestle and were off as were moving around the mat he gives me a hot i take it i get a single leg take him down to the mat but i cant pin him hes to good so the second round starts he chooses bottom the reff blows the whistle i arm chop knee block him drive him down and pin him i was so glad i had beaten a kid that was 30 pounds more than me
