G'day mate
Ahh, the start of Memorial Day Weekend. School is almost over, but we still have the last few weeks to get through.
My day started today at six AM- June and I jogged around the Rose Bowl and then had brunch at Le Pain. Then Mock Trial met to decide next year’s team. I’m pretty excited! Our list is being finalized right now, and it is looking pretty damn strong!
Time to crack down on...
I wish I could blog all of the thoughts running...

Lose and smile
I didn’t have the greatest week ever.
I can’t say much on here because this blog is way too public, but so many things happened this week that helped me realize that life is full of ups and downs. It brings you up to the top right before it pulls you all the way back down.
I think I let my ego take too much headway in my life this year, and I’m glad that many events this week...
LOL IRENE I HATE YOU
WTF YOU KNOW ME TOO WELL :(

Speech Banquet 2010
I’m not gonna lie….this thing stressed me out ALOT but I am happy to see that it went well and people enjoyed it :) We worked hard to put that thing on and alot of things went wrong last minute, so it was great that we ended up pulling through.
The end of the year is always bittersweet. I don’t even know what to feel right now; I can’t imagine speech without the people...

"There are little balls raining on me!!"
I just got home from Michelle’s house because WE’VE BEEN PLANNING AND DOING SHIT FOR THIS FCKING SPEECH BANQUET WHICH IS SUCH A HASSLE.
I hope everybody likes it, because I’m afraid people will think it’s bad but hopefully it just turns out okay. AGH so much to do! Mock Trial + Speech + Swim all together at once is seriously like death. This week is so busy with...

“Every strike brings me closer to my next home run” - Babe Ruth
I love this quote; it really embodies that attitude of embracing failure that I try so hard to emulate in my life. Think about Babe’s quote, and apply it next time you “fail.” You’ll be pleasantly surprised in how different situations become just because of a whole new perspective.

What a long day
I left the house at 4:45 AM this morning for swim practice and returned at 11 PM. It feels weird being out of the house for so long.
Practice was fun…caught up with Chris and learned a little more about college and the recruiting process. After school, we started mock trial tryouts. We had our first three applicants do interviews today and I’m pretty impressed, and it was fun as...

Tumblr Challenge Day 7- A photo that makes you...
Because so many pictures make me happy, I’m going to write one epic post with a bunch of photos that make me happy. I couldn’t include everything, but I tried. I tried to do in chronological order, and I purely relied on my Facebook uploads. Thanks for organizing all my pictures in one place, Facebook! LOL btw…this post took me HOURS.
I got a Facebook at the end of 8th grade, so...

"Ray! Where's my Starbucks?!?!"
I walked in late to Woodin today and he said, “Ray, where’s my Starbucks?? You came late and didn’t bring me Starbucks!??”
It’s true. Mr. Woodin usually tells a student to text me when I’m late to tell me to bring him Starbucks. But today I was selfish and only bought something for myself LOL then Mr. Woodin spent the period telling me that I was...
JungleJane: A Sweet Cup of Laave →
So I went to a coffee shop today, a very traditional coffee shop. I saw the owner and his wife, and I have to say they look very similar. No, she wasn’t his sister. How do I know that? Oh maybe because he said “hello WIFE.” LOL. It got me thinking about marriage couples/ couples in general. Most…
hahaha, I heard somewhere that we are more attracted to people who look similar to...

Tumblr Challenge Day 5- Favorite Quote
“The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be the doubts of today” - President Franklin Delano Roosevelt
I love this quote, and it’s kinda become my motto for this year. Only now do I realize the importance of staying positive amidst setbacks and disappointment. Being optimistic really changes your ability of overcoming failure and reaching your goals. If you...
I'm way too excited to post the Tumblr Challenge...

grande china green tips, please
ahhh, the start of yet another week of school. T-minus four more weeks though! These days are such a blur.
I have almost no homework every night. It’s pretty awesome. But my work habits are going down the drain, and that’s not a good habit to keep.
Late start today. Starbucks then parking, then APENG, where we sat and talked about colleges. So many conversations these days are...

CIF Finals
Well, it didn’t go as planned. I definitely wasn’t happy with the results, but I tried my best and that’s all that matters.
I spent most of the day preparing and I was pretty excited when I got there. The finals heat was closely matched, and I hoped to move up a few places, but in the end, I gained 0.45 seconds to go a 1:00.33 and stayed in the same placing.
I guess CIF this...

Jim Julian's record is going down
I woke up this morning feeling like P. Diddy.
Just kidding, but I am feeling pretty good. Aside from being a tiny bit sore, I’m pumped for tonight.
So here’s my goal for today. The school record is 59.19 set in 1983 by a guy named Jim Julian. The funny thing is that Jim Julian happens to be my club coach’s older brother.
Jim’s record has stood for 27 years, and is the...
