Last night was my troops annual yearly planning meeting. I'm looking forward to some of the stuff my troop is going to be doing over the next year.
At the end of this month we are going to a nearby camp to have a shooting sports weekend.
Next month we are going to be having a day trip thing a county park to do some orienteering and Geocaching. The orienteering course was made by one of my troop's Eagle scouts for his eagle project. I'm not sure how many none scouts use it though.

The physics test went really well. I thought it was pretty easy when I did and I guess it was. 98% and top of the class. Class average was about 60%.
What really makes me mad, was that I could have had 100%. I somehow circled the wrong answer for one of the multiple questions though. I knew the correct answer, but the letter I circled didn't go with that answer.
For lack of a better entry.
Yesterday I hid my first geocache. One of the caches I found recently was an interesting cache, instead of regular swag it contained premade micro caches made with 35mm film canister and camo ducktape. I took one and have hid it. It was published early this morning and I waiting to see who will be the First To Find.
I personal don't like the 35mm cache containers because they aren't very water proof. Diabetic test strip containers work a whole lot better
The last track meet of the season that I am running in was earlier today. It was a pretty awesome meet.
I ran the 800 Meters again and I set a new personal record, 2 min, 42 sec. My old record was 2 min, 45 sec.
The season is not quite over but I won't be running in any more meets. Next week is sections and state is the following week.
Opening the beta to everyone is probably a good idea, since the game was suppose to go to the full version over a month ago. I'm still hoping that they will reset it.
Edit: Yay! 50 Entries!
Tomorrow is the my school's True Team sections meet. I'm excited.
I don't know if I'm running, but even if I'm not it's going to be an exciting meet. It's going to be at the North Dakota State University track. I'm excited because that's where I might be going to college. The team is taking two coach buses up there and we're leaving at 8:30 AM.
For those of you who don't know, True Team has a special scoring format. Instead of the regular format, first place gets the most points and e
I leaving for a camping trip later this afternoon. I'll be back Saturday night. Two reasons why it's not going to be full weekend like previous camping trips. Halloween is tomorrow night and there is a Eagle Court of honor on Sunday Afternoon.
We were planning on not bringing stoves and only cooking on fires, but it's been raining since Wednesday night so that probably won't work.
Today is the very end of the 2009 Track season. I'm going to miss it. I had a lot of fun and I improved my 800 M time.
State for Track & Field was last weekend. I didn't go but there were a few athletes from my school participating. None of them took first place but there were a few seconds and a couple of new school records. Tonight is the very end though.
In about one hour I'm going to the Track Banquet. We'll be having a potluck dinner and handing out the awards. I don't th
For school this year I'm taking some classes at the local college. The school district is paying for it so I get to go for free.
I'm taking Political Science 101 and College Algebra. Political Science already met this morning. I think I'm going to like it. After listening to the professor talk about it this morning I think it will be pretty easy and I like the guy teaching it so it should be fun.
College Algebra meets 4 days of the week in the late afternoon. I'm still wondering about
I uploaded a few pictures earlier one of which was from my vacation to the Dells.
This part of Minneapolis, the largest city in Minnesota. You can't really tell that from this picture though.
This is what the sky out side my house looked like earlier this afternoon. Add more grey and less blue to the sky and add a cold wind and you'll know what my day has been like.
For the weekend I ended finding a multi-cache and a mystery cache. I also discovered two trackables and I located one benchmark.
The multi-cache I originally tried to find with my brother but, the first stage was missing. When I found the final stage I was rewarded with a travel bug. I was going to take it to move along but it was too big to put in my pocket. I ended up writing down the tracking number for later. I also stopped at a multi-cache I found previously to discover a geocoin th
Sunday was the reunion for the people who went to the Jamboree with my council. It was rather fun.
A bunch of people talked about what they did out at the Jamboree. The leaders talked and some of the scouts talked. We also got our 10x23 group picture that was taken in front of the capitol building. We also got a cd with some of the pictures the leaders took. There wasn't as much stuff on there as I thought there would be though.
I'm giving a presentation to my troop in the beginning o
I starting to read Huck Finn this week for American Literature. I read it a couple years for fun and I enjoyed so I should enjoy it again this time. I'm older now so I'll be able to understand it better.
On a side note, I aced the test for my college algebra class that I took on back on Wednesday. B)
I got a recently purchased a cell phone off of ebay. It's a Samsung T401G and it's pretty slick. It's got a slide out qwerty keyboard. It's a Net 10 branded phone, which is what I wanted. I wanted a prepaid phone and they had one of the best rates. 10 cents a minute and 5 cent (3 cent with my phone) text messages.
My phone arrived yesterday. The listing said it was a new phone. When I opened it I broke a seal on the package. Apparently it wasn't the original seal however. I was suppo
Last two pieces of the grade puzzle fell into place today. I'm pretty confident that I got all A's for this semester. Both Trigonometry and my Intro to Engineering classes are A's.
My English Composition class was the one I was worried about. I would have been happy with a B but I did a lot better then I thought I would. I had to take a trek through the rain to get my graded research paper, which ended up being an A. My revised paper is still ungraded, but that should be an A. It was
It turns out that my Premier Membership ends either tomorrow or on Friday, not the 28th like I originally thought. I just filled out the form for a lifetime membership and the money will get sent a little later today so I'll be back pretty soon. I have gotten to 156 entries now so I've made almost an average of one entry every two days.
When my Premier runs my inbox will overfilled so you won't be able to PM me. Not that anyone ever PMs me, I'm just sayin'.

I'm looking at my track calender and I wonder, where did all that time go?
Friday is the last track meet I'll be running in. Next week is sections I won't be running in them and whether I'm going to be going to them is unknown right now. The of June 2 - 6 is the last week of track practice. Then on the 11th is the banquet. I still can't believe it's almost over.
Hopefully I can set a new Personal Record on Friday. It would be a great end to the season. It might be raining though, I i
Recently expanded my music collection. I've gotten a lot of new stuff lately, but Hawk Nelson was one of my bigger purchases. I bought Hawkology, the Hawk Nelson Anthology.
Now I own their first three albums, Hawk Nelson is my Friend, Smile It's the End of the World, and Letters to the President. Smile It's the End of the World is definitely my favorite album. There's a lot of good songs. It's one of the few albums that I like most of the songs. Their music is more "rocky" then some of
I realized that as of today I've had my drivers license for about 1 year. It isn't exactly, but we sorted popcorn for the Boy Scout fundraiser so I'm going to count it as one year.
I have another MOC built for a contest I'm entering. I was having trouble building something because I didn't have the piece that would make or break my idea. After tossing it around in my head and trying to come up with something else, I came up with a different idea centered around the same theme.
Curious what the MOC is? I'll be posting it on Saturday, possible along with another MOC for another contest.
New Personal Record! Today's meet went really well. I ran the 800M in 2:45, 4 seconds better then my previous personal record.
The track season is almost over. Next week is the last week that practice will be difficult. Thursday and Friday next week are both conference meets. Varsity is running on Thursday and JV is running on Friday. My hope is to set another PR on the Friday meet.
It's pretty much summer where I'm at now. I'm still doing pre-calculus, but that was expected.
Right now there really isn't much on my calender for this summer. I'm probably going to be running a some 5k races, although that's not 100% guaranteed. I've also been doing some more biking and I found another geocache yesterday. I also picked up my first geocoin from that cache. I'm not sure what I'm doing this afternoon since the weather isn't the greatest right now.
It rained last night
