So this week was generally simple, except it was extremely long and there were some incidents at our school. To start off on Monday, we had a drug check. This means first period was interrupted and all of the teachers and students had to put all their stuff out in the hallway and wait for the drug dogs to go through and sniff everthing to determine if anyone had drugs in the school. I am unsure how many people got caught but I am guessing there were atleast a few. Then on Tuesday something huge happened. The Junior class was in the auditorium for an assembly and they were keeping us for a long time. At this point people started getting texts from their parents asking if they were okay because there was a potential bomb threat at our school. We ended up sitting in the auditorium for about two hours and there ended up being no bomb in the school. Both the police department and out high school are offering $100 each if there is any information leading to who is responsible for the fake threat. After school on Tuesday I went to the doctor and they x-rayed my collar bone and told me it was healing well and I would probably be able to do activities again in about four to six weeks.
Nothing exciting happened on Wednesday. On Thursday I went with the Future Business Leaders of America to Bowling Green for a convention. The convention was really boring and I probably will not be doing FBLA again next year. That all for now!

Broken =[
This week has had a some excitement in it. To start off, on Monday I went sledding with this kid in my neighborhood at a park in our town. I was on a sled that is like a snowboard but, it does not have foot holes so, while riding the sled, you have little control over where you are going...Anyways, the I had gone down the hill a couple of times with relative success and then I was going down and when I got to the bottom of the hill the sled stopped but, I kept going and my shoulder slammed straight into the ground. It did not hurt that bad at first so I calmly walked over to the car and took off my coat because it had started to hurt and I was pretty sure I had broken something or separated my shoulder. I called my mom and she came and picked me up and took me to convenient care and they took x-rays and told me I had borken my collar bone (clavicle). The next day we had an appoinment at an Orthopedic Surgeon's office and they told me that my break was a good break. This meant they would not have to reset the bone or anything so it will probably heal on its own.
The rest of the week was about the same and it was spent trying to do everything I normally do but, using only one arm. This week I have an appointment after school on Tuesday to see where I am at in the healing process. Wish me Luck!!!

A Week of Vacation
This week I did absolutely nothing except diving. I went to school on Monday but, everyone was getting prepared for a big snow storm that was going to hit that night so I was excited not to have school on Tuesday. My day was really easy. That night I went to diving practice and found out that I had qualified for the State Diving Tournement. This meant that I would leave school at 1 on Thursday and take a bus with the rest of the kids from our swim team who made it to the state level.
As it turned out there was no school Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday. So I basically got a week of vacation because I left for States on Thursday and was excused from school on Friday. The State Meet was a lot of fun. The 13 kids from our team stayed in a hotel in Louisville and it was awesome. As far as diving went, I dove pretty well but I did not make it back for the next day. I got to stay though and cheer on the rest of my team. I then got back late Saturday and went straight to bed because I was extremely tired.
As for today, I went to church and then came home and did all of Monday nights homework that I put off for the longest time.

Absent From School
This entire past week I was absent from six and a half classes. On Tuesday I had the Regional Diving Meet so I left school at 1 o'clock during the middle of Spanish. So not only did I miss half of Spanish but also I missed all of Physics. The meet went pretty well. I recieved a fourth place accolade out of nine divers and I will find out tomorrow night if my score was good enough to send me to the State Diving Meet.
Then on Wednesday, my day was going off without a hitch until a got a massive migrain during the middle of a big chemistry test. Luckily, I was able to finish the test before I went to the nurse. This was the first time I have ever been to the nurse at this school. She was very nice and gave me an Advil and told me to come back in a half and hour if the Advil didn't help. So I walked back up to my chemisty class and put my head down, praying the pain would go away. But, it didn't so, I went back to the nurse and she called my mom so she could come get me. The headache was the worst pain I have ever felt in my head and I wouldn't have gone home if I felt like I could have stayed at school because I didn't want to miss anymore of my classes and get even more behind. It turned out that I ended up missing all of Spanish and Physics.
On Thursday I was able to make it through the entire day of school and recieve all of the assignments I had missed. I found out that I had a ton of work to do and I was forced to tell all of my teachers, except my first block English teacher, that I wasn't going to be in school the next day because I had the Regional Swim Meet Preliminaries. So I got all the work I would miss and went on my way for the day.
On Friday I went to school for my first block class and then I was off to the swim meet. In the meet I swam the 200 IM which is 50 meters of each stroke and a very tiring race. It was fun though because I was able to win the heat that I was in. This was a huge meet and this race was only third race and my next race was the eleventh race. The next race was the 400 Freestyle Relay which is a relay race of four swimmers where each swimmer swims 100 meters doing freestyle. Our relay did really well and qualified in the top 12 for the region so all the members of that relay got to come back the next day and swim again along with all the other swimmers from our team that swam really well.
Saturday was generally the same as Friday except for the fact that I got to sleep in and then arrive at the swim meet a little late because I didn't have to swim until the last race. I swam excellent and did my best split that I have ever done, swimming the 100 meters I had to swim in 1 minute.
