I have my first real gymnastics competition tomorrow and I can't wait. It's LA Open which is our home/ host gymnastics meet. The bad part is that there's barely any competition because its at the beginning of competition season and because its at night. Also this weekend I am super excited about watching football. I can't wait to see the Saints and 49ers game on Sunday. I say that because my mom is a huge fan of the Saints and I'm a huge fan of 49ers.
Also, I'm really excited about Thanksgiving Break because I am really tired of school and all the work because my teachers decide to cram in last minute work before breaks which is really stressful and frustrating. I think I have at least fifteen different assignments that took some time and effort. But luckily I planned out the homework for Thursday and Friday and the upcoming week on Wednesday. That helped me manage my time of which assignments to do during tutorial and during study hall. I did the assignments that take more time and thought during study hall and the smaller, "easier" assignments during tutorial and break. And I did most of my work that is due Monday during school on Friday.

Do It Yourself
Write a "day of the life" post.
In the day of the life of Jamiee on a school day is pretty boring and busy. First, I wake up around 6:50 or 7:00 depending on how much sleep I did or didn't get. Then after I plow myself out of my bed I brush my teeth, wash my face and brush my hair which takes about 15 minutes all together. Then I get dress. I wear a school uniform so its pretty easy to decide what to wear. While I get dress I put on lotion if needed. After I get dress I get my school stuff and head towards the kitchen. I then fix my breakfast which is usually something really easy and fast to make. My breakfast usually consist of cereal, biscuits, eggs, grilled cheese or cinnamon toast. Around 7:35 I leave my house and on my way to school I eat my breakfast or review/ study for a test or quiz I may have that day. When I get to school its probably around 7:43 because I live pretty close to school. I'm at school for about eight hours and I leave around 3:35 unless its Wednesday which is when I tutor until 4:30.
After School I go home and do homework until its gym time. I usually never finish so after three to four hours of working out I have to come home to more homework and studying. When I get home from gym I usually eat first or while I'm doing work. By the time I've eaten and finished my homework its around 10:30 or 11:00 sometimes later depending on the amount of homework I have. After I finish I take my bath, brush my teeth and wash my face within about 30 minutes. Then I finally get to sleep. I go to bed between 11:15 and 12:30 everyday.
On Saturdays I wake up at around 7:45 or 8:00 and brush my teeth, wash my face, brush my hair and get ready for gym. I have gym from nine to three and at around twelve we eat lunch. After gym I'm really exhausted so I take like a one to two hour nap after I eat. Then I wake up and do any homework that I may have while I watch football. And on Sundays I do pretty much nothing because that's usually my resting day. But I go to church in the morning and then sometimes after I may go grocery shopping with my mom. When I get home I watch TV, sleep and do any last minute homework or studying I may have.

Deserted Island.?
I thought the deserted island activity we did in class was pretty weird, fun and crazy all at the same time. I thought that because I could never really see myself stranded on a island with my classmates. If the situation were to happen in real life I think it would be pretty chaotic and wild at first but would hopefully get better. I think if it were really to happen I think people would've been fighting a lot more for different "positions" because they had to deal with the fact that they were stranded as well as not having resources being handed to them. Also I think people would've been crying and very emotional or at least most of the girls.
I think our class would be really good at assigning and committing to the different jobs. And at being able to work together and keeping each other as comfortable as we could get as well as looking after each other and keeping each other safe. We would probably encounter the typical troubles of not being able to find food and water or not being able to start a fire. Also we could possibly encounter some wild animals like mountain lions, bears or moose?

Free Post.!
I am pretty excited or at least sort of excited to start reading Lord of the Flies. I say this because tons of "upper classman" have said that the book is really good. Also because of the activity we did in class Thursday? has me wondering what this book is really about as well as the message or theme this story will leave me with. Also the title of book leaves me with multiple with different questions, such as who does the lord refer to.? What do flies have to do with being stranded on an island? Or does flies symbolize some type of journey? Is the title some type of code the boys on the island created and used?
Also, I am super excited about the upcoming months because it means that Thanksgiving and Christmas Break is coming soon. I can't wait for those breaks it seems like the teachers are giving us an excess amount of unnecessary work and its sometimes way too much to deal with especially if you have sports. Also, I'm ready to get these midterm exams over with because that means I'm half way done with my freshman school yea which means only like four to five months until Summer. I can't wait until Summer but it won't really be a "Summer" because it'll be a little over two months that's filled with unnecessary Summer assignments considering that Summer is suppose to be a break from school. I mean we are kids, we can only take so much overload of work before we explode. Also, my Summer will be filled with gymnastics practice and camps which is totally fine because its fun and I'll be working level nine and ten skills for the upcoming meet seasons.
