This week went by really slowly. We had to get up and go to school before 6:30. So my days were pretty long this week. Spirit Week in Ilima is better than elementary spirit week, because there's a lot of competition. On Monday it was sports day. I wore my bombers uniform. Period four was supposed to be working ID's but we had to work spirit week. The periods were odd that day. In science, we had to do research on our endemic Hawaiian species. My research was on the Hawaiian Monk seal. On Tuesday, it was inside out. I turned my shirt, pants, socks, and jacket inside out. It was sorta uncomfortable. On Wednesday, it was Hawaii/Aloha Day. It was so cold! I wore slippers the whole day!. Afterschool, I also worked on my science project. I did a model of the Hawaiian monk seal. I used air-dry clay, and acrylic paint. It took a while to shape just one monk seal. I put sand on the project too, just to make like the monkseal is on the beach. On Thursday, it was military day. Penny wars was intense that day!. It went crazy!. People spent so much money. In each jar, there was more than $100 in cash!. Most of it was from only about five people. It took a whole for us to wait for track practice to start. We finished school early that day. We finished at 1:30. Penny wars money counting was easy because Mr. Ing has a coin counting machine. In track, we ran about three four hundreds. And a mile. I ran a mile without stopping! I just kept going. I pushed my self to not give up. My time was 8:51!. I should try to shorten the time. I couldn't believe that I ran a mile. I usually would get tired in the middle of a 400, but I stayed at a pace that I was comfortable at. While running my third lap for the mile, it felt like I was gonna pass out. I was getting dizzy. LOL, dizzy, daisy(x. On Friday, it rained a lot after school. I came to school late that day. I came at the end of first period. I had a headache, but I took a pill then I took a nap, and I felt sorta better so I told my brother that I wanted to go to school. Mostly because I had to turn in my science project, and I had my interview. I was nervous for my interview, after jah finished her interview, I was getting even more nervous. Then when Jayde/Helen came out, I was freaking out. Then it was my turn. I was like woaaah, when I finished my interview. I was so relieved that I got it done. I had so much butterflies in my stomach before my interview and after.
The highlight of my week was spirit week. I'm used to waking up at 6:30 because of spirit week. And it was fun seeing people dress out, fight over what money goes into what. Making chain links. 7-3 didn't do that bad. But we didn't come in a place for anything. But it's okay! At least we tried! The only teacher that dressed out on all the days was our science teacher Mrs. Fujimoto. We had a bout 25+ dress outs a day. We had lots of pennies in our jar, but not as much as 8-3 did. I wish I was in that generation of team three.
Lesson learned was to never give up, even when you feel like giving up. Like when I ran the mile, I pushed myself to keep going and to not give up because I knew that I could do it and that I was gonna make it. Sitting down on a break isn't worth it. I delayed gratification when we had our breaks. I didn't sit down, I just kept moving around. I didn't drink too much water. But I let people drink my water. I came in about sixth place. I would've been in fifth, but Haley caught up to me at the lazy minute even though I swear she was behind me he whole time.
