I never thought I could...

     I never thought I could shoot lower than an 80 in golf.  Golf is one of my favorite sports that I enjoy playing.  It is a sport that makes me keep wanting to play more and more.  It is very addictive to me.  I have always wanted to shoot par on a golf course which is a 72 and still have yet to do so.  Then I told myself that I just want to break 80.  It took me a lot of years to just break 90 and i was so happy.  But to break 80 meant I had to take off ten more strokes.  I played for my high school and was able to take a few strokes off which got me to about an average of 85 and 86.  It seemed like I was going to be at the score for a long time.  I recently got a job at a golf course which provides great benefits while working there.  I get to come play free golf any time I want and hit free range balls.  So I took advantage of my free golf and played all the time.  It seemed like I took a stroke off every week.  One day I went out with my dad and I played the best golf i have ever played before.  I shot a record low 76.  I have been shooting around 80 ever since.  I never thought I could shoot lower than an 80.

This semester so far has been...

     This semester so far has been extremely stressful.  After graduating high school, I feel like I forgot everything that I have ever learned.  I know sort of what to expect because I had two siblings already in college and told me what it was like.  I also knew that it was going to very stressful.  I tried to get myself in the mindset that I would finish everything in advanced unlike high school.  I have realized that I cannot wait til the last minute to do assignments in college.  Grading is much more strict and important.  I think a big reason why this semester is so stressful is because this is my very first semester in college.  I didnt exactly know what college would be like and how hard it would be.  I also graduated high school with good grades which qualified me to get LIFE scholarship here at Tech.  Now I have to keep a B average which makes things a lot more difficult.  Hopefully next semester will be better.

I Absolutely Hate...

         I absolutely hate the Chicago Bears.  Many people may think I am just kidding about hating a football team so much, but I really do.  I am a die hard Green Bay Packers fan and the Chicago Bears are their worst rival.  Every year they have to play each other twice because they are in the same division.  These two teams do not get along well at all.  During the game the players sometimes break out in fights because of how hard they play each other.  It also occurs between opposing fans during a game.  I have witnessed this because last year I went to the season opener against the Bears and couldn't believe how crazy the rivalry was.  It is also the longest rivalry in league history.  No matter how good one team is or how bad, it is always a close game.  As much as I hate the Chicago Bears, I love how intense the rivalry is.

If I had superpowers, I would want to be able to...

     If I had superpowers, I would want to be able to time travel.  I think it would be so cool to be able to go back in time and see any event i wanted.  I would go all the way back to when Jesus walked the Earth.  Then I would just like to go back to all the major events that changed the way we live now.  Things like when the light bulb and and cars were invented.  I want to see how America reacted to inventions so great that we take for granted now.  I would also like to go back to see certain presidents and people like Martin Luther King Jr that changed America so much.  We see all this stuff in movies, but I would like to see it in person.  I would also love to see some big sports that happened a while ago.  I would have liked to see the Packers win the first two Super Bowls ever.  There would be so many things I would like to see.

It hit me like a ton of bricks; I can't believe that...

       It hit me like a ton of bricks; I can't believe that I have graduated high school.  The first day of high school I thought that I would be here forever.  All the upperclassmen were so much bugger and older looking than I was.  All I could think about was how I would be here for the next four years.  Before I knew it I was walking across the stage with my cap and gown on receiving my diploma.  Those four years went by so fast and I still have a hard time believing it.  I still sometimes wake up at 7:30 thinking I have to get ready for school, but I am not in college and have a completely different schedule.  I miss high school so much and sometimes wish I was still there.  My parents tell me all the time how those years and college were the best years of their lives.  Those four years went by so fast i can't even believe it.  I always remembered when i was younger and I would think someone was old because they were a senior in high school or attended college.  Now I am the old person.  Now I am looking forward to my next four years in college.

I can't believe I was ever intimidated by...

                     I can't believe I was ever intimidated by college.  The day before my  first classes I was scared to death.  I didn't know why I was so scared because my brother and sister who has been in college told me that it's not too bad.  I even passed high school with mostly all A's.  I guess I am one of those people who gets nervous when I am starting something new that I have never done before.  I was scared that if I failed then I have no future.  Now it's almost half way through the semester and I am doing alright.  I could be doing a lot better.  The only thing that I am intimdated by now is keeping a 3.0 for life scholorship.  Before I was intimidated by finding my classes and being on my own.  It has definitely been stress for my first semester, but I shouldn't have been intimidated.  As long as I work and study hard, then it should be pretty easy.

Golf

             One of my favorite things to do is golf.  I have grown up playing golf with my dad and brother my whole life.  My brother and I have always competed against each other in every sport we did.  Golf was the sport that I always came closest to beating him in.  For me golf is a relaxing sport that calms me down and makes me feel better.  I love being able to get away from everything and play in a beautiful and quiet environment. 
             I also played for my high school which was the best two years of my life.  Everyday after school I got to play free golf for practice.  Then we got to play at really nice courses for our matches.  While I played in high school I decent at golf, but after I graduated i got a lot better.  Over the summer I got a job at a golf course.  They let me play free so I try to play as much as possible. This week I finally reached my goal of breaking 80 and shot a 76.  Now it is time to set a new goal!
