Basically I took the hardest classes that my school offers for juniors, except for AP USPA (seemed like way too much work). I'm also getting my first study hall ever this year, besides Lab.

I got my school shopping done yesterday. I got the usual notebooks, #2 pencils, and a binder. Then I went to the Logan Valley Mall (Altoona), and got my clothes. I went to Hollisters, Aeropostle, American Eagle, and Hot Topic. I think that I'm gonna go back to Hot Topic and get some shirts before the 29th though (when school starts). They had some pretty sweet Nintendo stuff there.

This weekend went by fast! Anyway my cousin came up from Butler, PA, and we played Wii Sports, Rayman, Mortal Kombat, and tons of other stuff. I especially had fun playing wii sports, where we had a tennis showdown. I beat him a couple times, but he was better than me in general (I admit it). We went swimming a couple times, and ended up dueling each other with those foam floatie things. Mandatory cross country practice starts tomorrow and will go on every day until school starts back up again on the 29th. Overall, I'd say that I'm ready for school to start back up. I'm confident that I'll have a good year.

I weighed myself this morning, only to find out that in the last week I gained 15 pounds!!! It must have been from all of those ribs and hot dogs I was eating. I started lifting and cross country back up on Monday after my break, and I am real sore now. It's amazing what one week can do to your stamina.

So I went to North Carolina for a week with my family.  I live in PA so it was around an 11 hour trip to get there. The beach was cool, and I went to see a battleship memorial, even cooler.  But I didn't really have anyone to hang out with since all my friends happen to have jobs now, and my family is boring most of the time.
