Today was a great day. I was pretty tired as I got up. Still I wasn’t really able to sleep on the bus, but I was half-asleep by the time we got to school and I almost missed getting off the bus. The first two lessons were normal. I had a quiz in Math, but that’s never really a big deal. Lunch was great today. It was two friends of mine and me and we had great laughs. We were supposed to do an essay in english over the weekend, but I didn’t want to write it at home so i did it right there. We had a scrimmage today at baseball practice. I did some good things and I think the coaches were satisfied with my performance today. I made a run and did some good moves on the outfield. After practice Andy dropped me off at the Y and I did legday and some biceps. My workout was amazing and I felt really good after it. We got some asian food for dinner. We watched part of a movie and now I’m just gonna rest.

Today was a pretty decent day. The first two lessons were very boring. I packed extra lunch but even then I was super hungry for some reason and one of my friends gave me some of his cheetos. Then we had homeroom and they talked about next year’s schedule so I just hang around. In weightlifting class we did a squat max test and I maxed out at 270 but I think I might be able to get up to 285 soon. Baseball practice was good today. We did a lot of batting and I really improved from my first performance. I somehow managed to break an aluminum bat though. It was only the plastic cap on top of it but still very unusual. Connie picked me up and we went to the Y. I had a great workout and one of my friends was there and I haven’t seen her for a long time. We had a lot of fun today. Then Connie and I went to Publix to get some groceries and I made a pizza for dinner. I finally folded my clothes after washing them 4 days ago and now my back somehow hurts again.

Today was a quiet day. I was tired in the morning. We made cinnamon rolls in Culinary. I was so tempted to eat them, but I was able to hold myself back. The other periods were pretty much the same as every day. After school I had baseball practice and today was the day of the cuts. We practiced for about 2 hours before they started talking to each and everyone. While they called everybody in the others were waiting outside. I waited almost two hours in the blistering cold. My whole body was shaking. But the good news is I made the team. After that Connie and I went to the Y and my workout was great. It was nine by the time we got back and now I‘m just letting the day fade.

Today was very long and kind of bad day for me. My lower back really hurt from sitting on the bus and my whole mood today was just awful. I dragged myself through the first four lessons. After lunch I felt a little better and the next two lessons were kind of descent. In my last period I had a good laugh and I thought it’s gonna be uphill from there on. As I got to baseball practice though a real bad down hit me, my shoulder, forearm and back hurt really bad and I just questioned why I’m doing baseball. At the end of the practice I got better though and I hope my arm will get better. Then I went to the Y and since I didn’t really have any food yet, I poured some coffee in a cup and put about twice as much sugar as coffee in it. That gave me a really good push and I had a great workout that really lifted my mood back up. I had some leftovers for dinner and watched Netflix, which really made me laugh.

Today was a very long day for me. School went by pretty normal and it was ok. Although, I did have a lot of time to reflect on myself, which is good but also bad. After school I went straight to Baseball tryouts. The practice was three hours long but it was a fun practice and I liked it. The only thing is, you have to be very committed (6 practices a week) and so would my hostparents. I just don’t know if I have that kind of committment and passion plus I don’t want to be a burden for my host parents. I’ll do the tryouts though and then I’ll decide if I’ll continue or not. We had tacos for dinner and talked a lot about religion. It was interesting for me to hear their views on different issues.

Today was quite a good day. I had a very long sleep despite a weird but good dream. Then I had a big breakfast and watched some handball, while also doing videotests for baseball, so I can go to tryouts next week. In the afternoon Connie and I went to the Y and I had a really good shoulder workout and I was feeling pretty good in my body today. After a quick shower we went to church and I met my geometry teacher at church. The sermon was very long and I kind of questioned the whole concept of believing while listening to the preacher. I always feel weird in church but it also gives me time to think, which is great. We had roast beef for dinner and it was just delicious. I probably ate about a pound of it. Andy’s brother and his son visited us and we talked a little before all of us went to bed.

Today was a very rainy winter day. The kind of day where you feel like doing nothing. I got up pretty early to watch the Handball games and I‘m very disappointed by the german team because I think they could’ve won. Then I talked to my grandparents and we kind of forced ourselves to workout. I was doing legs today and oh my goodness did I do a number on them today. I also met my geometry teacher/baseball coach and we talked about tryouts tomorrow. We had some sushi for dinner at about 4. After that Andy and I watched the movie „Man on fire“ and it was a pretty good movie. Meanwhile I was washing my clothes and I ended the day with eating some ice cream and watching netflix. Also today I had a little acid reflux almost the whole day, which kind of bothered me.

Today was a really angry day for me. It started out just ok and all the lessons were just fine. Even though we wrote a test in english and I got a 90 and the guy that cheated off me and that I helped got a 100, but I’m really happy for him. It started on the bus. I was watching the handball game and the constant bumping up and down on the bus got on my nerves. As Germany lost my mood wasn’t lifted either and the last half hour on the bus the bumping just became unbearable to me. So by the time I got of the bus I was furious. Then while I was preparing for the gym the cats got on my nerves. On my way to the gym, a woman was walking her dog on a leash, but instead of pulling him back as he clearly approached me as I came closer, she did nothing. End of the story, if I wouldn’t have stopped and hit the grass, I would have ran over the dog. Just because that person was incompetent. Also at that point, one string of my bag teared, so I had to fix that. By the time I actually got to the gym, I was so furious I had to take 10 minutes to calm down. My workout was really good today and I’m really happy with my upper body except for my belly. After the gym we got some food from Wendy’s and one of my classmates was working there. Now I’m trying to relax out on the day by watching shows and eating popcorn.

Today was a really good day. I made garlic knots in Culinary and they were pretty good. In Tennis, I talked a lot with one of my friends. I wrote a test in Geometry, that was super easy. In weightlifting, I worked on my deadlift and got up to a max of 375 lb (160kg). I tried to do more but I failed, which kind of bummed me out. As I got home I prepared myself for my chest workout today and I gotta say it felt really great. I still have trouble with dips for some reason, but I’ll get there. I’m close to finishing the show Lucifer and so far I can say it is an amazing show!

Today was my day off. I had a really great day in school, I laughed a lot. On my way home I watched the hanball game, which was very thrilling to watch. Also, I talked to a lot of my friends back home. I was home alone for almost the whole day today and I watched a lot of shows. Weirdly, I had an unsatisfied hunger the whole day, which makes me feel bad because I ate so much and I’m still hungry. For some reason with that hunger came a overall sad feeling. I guess it was just because there was nothing productive to do.
