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,
