Update

     So far today, nothing very exciting has happened. We had the Iowa Assessment this morning, and it went pretty well. I was actually surprised that it was remotely difficult this morning. Usually, I am able to fly through and take very little time. But today, I actually had to take my time and check over answers. Most of the things on the test were from math and science classes I took a while ago, and so I didn’t remember the majority of the things on the assessment.

     Today is an early out Wednesday, which means we get out of school an hour and a half earlier than normal. I have mixed feelings about early outs; I enjoy less time in school, but at the same time I feel like it is a waste of time. We have so little time in class, and everyone is excited for less school, that nothing actually gets done at all.

     Finally, I have soccer practice after school. I am really sore from weightlifting yesterday, and thankfully practice is only going for an hour or so tonight. I’m starting to really enjoy soccer, now that practices are getting more fun and we are doing less conditioning. We had our first game on Monday, and both varsity and junior-varsity won.
