Good day

 In the morning Ms. Turner, my research and medicine teacher informed us that Oliver Sacks died over the weekend. We were given his article to read and reflect on "This year, Change your mind" on Thursday or Friday and he died a couple days after, before we went to school. What a coincident. It's feels like what I wrote about earlier when I wondered how many people get injured on the first day of school. The world is a funny place.


Later that day I had Mr. Cofey's Senior inquiry class. I didn't expect it to be too bad, and it wasn't. The only complaint I have is not being able to find someone who can contribute with the same effort to group activity like we did today where we wrote about 3 experiences that have been meaningful so we can reflect on in groups of 3. I didn't get to my stories. Mine weren't really stories, I ended up sharing my beliefs on people. Like it's illogical to compare two people and asking my dad to come back from Alaska seems to complicate things so I've kept my sentiments hidden to promote his cause of working to support our family.

Apart from that I worked in Blender, got to talk to a few girls with which was nice and went to cross country.

At cross country we had a hard workout, but it was rewarding. It seemed that I wasn't too far away from the best runners on the team and I was actually fun to make some of the sprints at the end of the workout. I seem to be good at pushing extra effort at the end of long runs but I don't think that is consistant. I always slow down just a meter from the finish line which is a bad habbit of mine that I've carried along for a while. Neither the less, I am proud of my growth as a runner and I think I did race a little better with my new shoes. Or so I like to think so. No thanks to Nike, I think it was the fact that shoes weren't 6 years old anymore.

I think overall, today was a good day.
