crazy events in the life of alex

well this last week sure has been a crazy one. I'm sure even Mr. Dykstra is on the count down for days left in the school year. Nearly every one is excited for summer! Last Friday I "Skipped" school due to strep throat which is when you have a burning sensation in the back of your throat it often can be fixed by taking your tonsils out. Well anyway on Friday at newman elementary, around the time of recess my brother was going hard, playing some soccer then he collided with one of his friends. His friend landed on his lower leg. He started screaming was immediately taken to the nurse. The nurse then relayed a call to my pops. My pops drove like a mad man to take my brother to the hospital. Jacob got x-rays he broke his leg down by the ankle region. The Doctor had to  take Jacob in to surgery to fix his bones. He is now in a cast for 6 weeks, I also got a call from the doctor saying there is a slight chance i may have pneumonia so he put me on a different medicine to cure that and i am still recovery from that sickness. From being sick i accumulated a bunch of homework which included typing an essay for mr trask. Which i Indeed received a perfect on:). I was a happy boy. Well over this weekend i ran at drake stadium i saw some outstanding performances. I unfortunately had one of the worst races of my life. I felt so out of it. I finished dead last with a terrible time of eleven minutes fifty seconds. I was so mad, even though i was battling sickness that was no excuss good enough for this set back. I just need to get back on track to running ten minutes twenty seconds by the end of the year,

The past two days

So as many of you know track has recently started and I won't be at school as much during the last few hours of the day because of track meets. Which sucks because then I fall behind in school. I hate that especially around the  end of the school year because then you can;t get so far behind that your grade can drop dramatically... Oh well to my point yesterday we had a meet which involved the boys track team to get out of class around 1:15. Well I was marked down to run the 2 mile.... What fun? I loved it. I ended up running a 10 minute 55 second 2 mile not too bad it placed me third overall. We had our meet in south tama nearly a 3 hour bus ride it was intense. We left the meet around 10. So we didn't get home until around 12:40.  So today I have been going on literally 5 hours of sleep. It's just so much fun! Well today was a pretty good day i managed to get through the day without falling asleep! Then after school what do i get to look froward to? More track! yeaaah! so much fun! We had ice cream! Finally after our ice cream night at track I went to the mall to go look for some kicks and clothes... Failed attempt at that. Our mall has nearly nothing to choose from. Then I ran into Katy Salmon working at birdsalls then Morgan Leider showed up a little bit later. We chilled for awhile then I went to go home and now I am typing my blog. So now I am deciding whether i  should go to the ymca or not. I think i will go to the ymca or play just dance two. Yeah I am definately going to the y to get some shots up. This will be fun!


my life is bro.
