Today is Wednesday, January 27, 2016

Today I have a basketball game in Tooele against a school called Grantsville. Toole is about an hour and a half away from Park City. The night before when I was packing my bags for the next day of school I considered bringing a phone charger just incase it died on the way there. After taking a shower while thinking about it a little I decided against it and just tried to be conservative with my battery by putting it on low power mode and using grayscale to use less battery.

So I wake up and throw some clothes on after which I pick up my backpack and amble up the stairs. When I get up there after two small flights of stairs my mom has some wonderful smelling scrambled eggs and bacon nearly ready for me. When I'm getting my shoes on she asks me to wake up my sister. She has this weird thing where all the alarm clocks we buy her go missing or get broken somehow. So I knock on her door and sure enough she's lying there on her bed sleeping like a rug. So softly yell at her to get up and she groggily gets out of bed and I leave so she can get dressed. Get upstairs and eat my eggs of which she shows up right before we leave and scarfs down her plate. It's freezing cold outside which serves as what wakes me up in the morning. We take the bus to school.

The only highlights of school today are that it was a White Day meaning I didn't have many core classes and that we figured out teams in PE for basketball. My team is Me, my friends Jack and Johnny, and then two more people named Azym (male) and Sysilia (female). Jack is on my basketball team and Johnny doesn't have bad coordination so I thought I was pretty set. Of course that day we refereed a game instead of playing. IT WAS SO MUCH FUN. Me and Jack and Johnny were the court refs, Syscilia did the score and Azym  just kinda hung out. I was the ref that gave the players the ball went out of bounds and Jack and Johnny had whistles and called violations. Also we narrated the entire game which was hilarious because nobody knew what they were doing.

For the game we got to leave class at 1:00 which is and hour and twenty-five minutes before school actually ends; so that was pretty great. The whole ride there I listened to music and played on my phone.

The game went as usual. Me getting in for the last 1:45 when it was almost impossible for us to dig ourselves out of the hole that we dug and pull out a win. So we ended with a mother loss by about fifteen points which isn't as bad as some of our other losses. After that I went home after with my friend Kaj Madsen who's dad had space and I didn't really feel like going home on the bus and getting my house at 11pm.
