And while I was walking through the exhibit with animatronic dinosaurs, a little Girl asked her mother "Are those real dinosaurs?" the mother replied "Yes they are sweetie" It's quite sad really :annoyed2: =LOTF=

Well, it's almost over. Thursday was the Conference Championship meet. For the first time ever I got to run in it. I really wasn't fast enough, but I had to run because we were missing all of our seniors. I'm not sure what the event planners were thinking, but they scheduled the meet the same day as my school's graduation. My 800 time wasn't what I had wanted. I ended up with a 2:40. What really would have been nice would be having the order of my times flipped, so I could have run the whole season setting a PR every meet. At least I haven't run slower than last season's best time. I also ran the mile twice this season. Best time was a 6:20, which really isn't acceptable, even for me. I'm going to have to get that down below 6:00 during the off season. Last meet is sections on Wednesday. I might also have to run then because at least two distance people won't be able to run. One of them is over at West Point and the other is academically ineligible.

I decided to google the phone number I got assigned by Net 10. It looks like there are at least two previous owners, same area code and everything. One of them was a Pit Bull Rescue center and the other is some girl who had it march of last year. I also got texted by some random girl down in Atlanta, Georgia. I am in Minnesota. If get a lot of random texts and calls I'll probably try to get my number switched, otherwise I'll just keep it.

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 suppose to get 300 minutes and 60 days of service free with the phones activation, but my account was never credited with it. After spending 15 minutes with Net 10's customer support I learned why I never got my minutes. The person I talked to at Net 10 said that sometime back in 2008 my phone was activated. She also said that there were still minutes on the phone, although I wouldn't be able to see them until I added service days to the phone. The phone's seller is sending me a minutes card equivalent to what I was suppose to get when I activated the phone. So once that arrives I should be good. In the future I might be more careful buying electronics, although this wasn't one of those "too good to be true" deals.

I should be running the 1600 Meters in today's track meet. My goal is to run faster then 6 minutes. I'm mostly healthy now. My shin splints are pretty much gone. I'm probably going to skip the spikes and save those for the last meet of the season next week. I haven't really done anything good since that 2:30 I had at the beginning of the season. Maybe this will be the point where I turn it around.

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 every place after that has one less point until last place, which gets one point. So if there is twenty people in an event, first place gets 20 points. This format shows how much depth teams.

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 a high B originally, but I fixed the main problem with it so it should be bumped up to an A.\ Now I have to decided what's going to happen next year, both what classes and how many. Calculus and Physics are already predetermined, but then German or American History or both? It will depend a lot on whether I decide to do Cross Country. Either way I'll have even less free time in the fall then this semester. Also, some projects will get posted soon, a Jamboree update and a new song on Piano.

School is officially finished for me today. Unofficially I have to go back on Friday if I want to get my graded research position paper from my English professor. I hopefully about getting all A's again this semester. My English class is only one I'm not sure about, I find out on Friday. Now I can finally get to work on some other important stuff, such as some merit badges I need to finish.

Today's my last day of class. It will be a relief to finally be done with school for the year. Now I can finally get working on some other stuff that I've been putting off. Next year is going to be a nightmare though. I have two finals next week. Only one is really a final though, the other one is going to be a party. My English professor said he would have snacks and we would watch a movie during the final period. As long as I get an "A" on my research paper I'm turning in today I should be able to end the semester with a 4.0 GPA.

Last track meet was on Thursday and somehow I crushed my old time in the 800 M. I ended up getting approx. 2:30 which tops my old record by 12 seconds. At the very end I was all out sprinting. I'm going to attribute the time to the guy from another school who tried to pass me on the final hundred. I heard him come up behind me fast and something just clicked in my mind. That's when I hit the turbo. I doubt I've ever run hat fast in my life. He cam close to passing me twice I think but I managed to hold him off. I really payed for that sprint afterwards though. I don't think my shins have hurt that much. There's another meet on Thursday this week that I'll be running in. I should be able to beat the 2:30 now because I'll be running in spikes for the first time.

You know, the one I posted on April 1st? Thats wasn't a prank (Though nobody responded, so I doubt anyone thinks that is the case, but I figured I'd say it anyway). Anyway, I'll be leaving early tomorrow morning for a camping trip and will be away from my computer for a few days. So no internet.

I really haven't been on here very much over the last month or two. I don't know. It just seems like I've got too much stuff on my plate. I some how get the feeling that I should move on, from BZPower and forums in general, but I just don't feel ready to do that. I might be that I'll have more time once classes end at the beginning of next month, but will I really? Track is also entering full swing now with our first outdoor meet tomorrow. After this season I'll have to make some hard choices. I made a huge mistake at the end of last season. I don't want to make that mistake again this year but I can see myself taking the easy route and repeating it. Next year is also my senior year and I can't just push off bing slow to the next year by saying, "oh, I'll be faster next year." That will be it, there won't be any more. My academics will also be hitting it's highest point workload wise next year. Currently my grades are all good so they haven't suffered. Worst case scenario for this semester is I ended up getting 2 A's and B. Fall of next year I'm going to be taking 4 college classes totalling close to 12 credits. Currently in line are, Calculus I, Physics, German, and a American Histroy class. None of those are going to be free ride classes like I had during my first semester or even this semester. In short, I really don't know how much time I can spend on BZPower. I really don't know and my inactivity won't be changing anytime soon.

Broke down and got a Twitter account. I don't know how much I'll actually use it though. My feed

I recently got a new MP3 player. My old one is probably on its last life right now. Picture The old one is black and the new one is the nice teal color. The old Nextar has a number of problems. It seems like the components behind the big silver button have shifted so the button is at a funny angle. Although you can't see it in the picture, the slider thing used to switch songs is also pretty much broke. It's jammed so that unless your concentrating when you try to switch songs you'll just end up fast forwarding. It's also pretty cramped with only 512MB of space. The new teal shuffle has almost 2GB so I have a little bit of room to grow. The only problem is that it doesn't have a screen, but I can live with that. Right now I have 1.66 GB of music on it. That will get changed thought as I shuffle the music around, deleting and adding stuff. I might do a entry about my music collection some time in the future, once my recent purchases arrive.

I finally got around to purchasing the new Tobymac album, Tonight. I listened to most of the music on Yahoo right before it got released and I like some of the music. It seems like it's a pretty good album although there's no way it will be able to top Portable Sounds. I also ordered the Joshua Rifkin Scott Joplin album. So much good music on there. Scott Joplin wrote some amazing songs. I think my favorite has to be Bethena. It's not as well known as the Entertainer or the Maple Leaf Rag, but it's as good if not better.

Think that now would be a good time to announce that from April 15 throught April 18 I will be away from my computer, and unable to use the Internetz

For anyone wondering why I've been so inactive, no posts or blog updates. Track has started now so I have about 2 hours of practice every afternoon. I now past the point where I'm dead tired after practice but that doesn't change my work load. I also work about 10 hours a week so that's taking up time. School work is also taking up a lot of my time. My trig class is ending next week so I need to make sure all my homework and stuff is all in line for that. I'm getting started on the final project for my English composition course. It's going to be fun to have to try and write a 6-10 page research paper. My engineering class is also picking up, or maybe it's not and I've just been pushing stuff off too long. That I've got a bunch of things to do for. I have to give a five minute presentation on the future challenge of storing nuclear waste. I also had the March Jamboree Troop meeting, nothing big happened so there's no need for a full write up. We had swim quals and we picked up the stuff that we ordered and the troop is providing. I now have most of the patches I'll be taking to the Jamboree. My councils shoulder patches look great. Other councils are going to have a hard time topping it. My family is also putting in new carpet in the middle level of our house. We've had the living room carpet torn up since Saturday and the new carpet is getting put in on Friday. So much stuff is happening, I'm not sure how much time I'll have available for BZPower for a while. If you need to contact me drop me a PM, or even better, send me a PM through my profile. I usually check my e-mail at least once a day unless I'm really busy.

I mentioned personal issues in a recent entry. I've now updated regarding those at another place that I can't link to but that shouldn't be hard to find. *deep breaths* And now off I go to continue what I was doing: baking a triple batch of my Special Delicious Cake recipe. :3

The first track practice of the season was today. Appearently I wasn't technically suppose to practice. The coach let me practice anyway though. That should be resolved tomorrow though. I think it's going to be a good year. Even through I'm not in the greatest shape right now, I'm still in a lot better shape then I was at the start of the last two seasons. I think for this year I stat running the mile. Previously I've only done the 800m.
