Today was a stressful day – despite the fact that I had a late start to school today. I spent the extra hour we had until class began enjoying the tastes of McDonald’s and Panera in the school parking lot in the comfort of my minivan.

It seemed as soon as I stepped into the school building, however, all hell broke loose. I was yelled at by the section editor of the school newspaper because I apparently forgot to write a story and we publish fairly soon for a story to be this late… oh well… can’t be perfect at everything.

I had just spend the previous night trying to repair a scale that was damaged. This scale is the scale that we use for our weigh-ins for wrestling – and we had a meet tonight which we needed it for. I failed miserably, due to the only rational explanation that I fried my serial LCD screen which was necessary for the repair. So I had the burden of that on my mind.

Later on today, I had to work on a lab for my physics class. I am in a lab group with highly intelligent people, who know more than I do, but it seemed that I was the one to suffer through the cyphering… it hurt my brain. My teacher for this class appears to be trying to teach us problem-solving skills in the harsh environment of his classroom. To him I say, “It’s harsh!”

So we prepare for the wrestling meet that we had against Munster… washing mats, moving mats, weighing in, distributing equipment and warm-ups…etc… I’m really nervous at this point. I don’t know, but when I stepped on the mat, I think all the anxiety of this day was transformed into energy that I never thought I had, and I pinned my opponent in about the first minute of the first period. I weighed in at 174.6 and wrestled in the 189 weight class. My opponent weighed in at 188. I don’t know – but it was interesting. I am still undefeated with 5 pins.

I have a tournament on Saturday at Lake Central High School – it should be a good indicator of where I am at as a wrestler. I look forward to the challenge, but not the long hours. Come out and watch if you have nothing better to do.

That’s it for now,
