6 days from today it will be my birthday! May 2nd, is my birthday and I am extremely excited, because I want this birthday to be the best on ever. I think that this one will be the best one because I have met a lot of really amazing people this year and they mean a whole lot to me and I think that just being with them will make my birthday amazing. I just cannot wait until that Thursday  and the good thing is that I have late start on my birthday! And I think my friends are already planning something for me and I am just so excited and I can't believe how fast it came this year.
     On the Saturday of next week, May 4, I might go out with all my friends to River park and watch a movie and just have a fun night. I have gone to River park with my friends before for their birthdays, but I think it would be even more fun because its my birthday, and I just want to have the best night ever. I am just so excited and ant wait for my birthday, because I know it will be the most amazing birthday ever. Because I get to spend it with amazing people.

     Since I only tried out for one sport this year, next year I am going to try out for almost all the sports. There were sports that I wanted to try out for this year, but I didn't want to overwhelm myself with sports and because I couldn't practice for any of them. Also, they never told us when try outs were so I couldn't try out for most of them. So, next year I know when try outs are, and I know how much time I have to practice. It will be harder to get on the team now, because its the varsity  team and you have to be really good.
     The sports that I will trying out for next year are: Volleyball, Basketball, maybe soccer, and softball. I am going to be joining cross country too. I am really excited to tryout and join these teams, because I think I will make probably one of the teams, but I am going to be on one team, cross country, because its a non cutting sport. 
     I am pretty good at running; I have been in cross country since I was in 3rd grade, but I didn't join in 6th, because I didn't want to that year. I usually got 3rd or 5th place in most of the races. This time I am going to try my hardest to train up a little better, to be a little faster because I really want to do good. I usually hate running, but this year I am going to try to enjoy it. 
     I started volleyball in 6th grade, so that wasn't so long ago. I am not extremely good, but over the summer I am going to be practicing, so that I could make the team and actually do good. I really like to play volleyball so I am kind of excited to try out and hopefully make the team.
     I don't really know how to play basketball, but over the summer I am going to be practicing and getting better at it like I am doing with the other sports. I can make a shot, but I don't know if I  could really play. 

     This week has not been so good for me so far. Last Friday they posted up the softball team list and I wasn't on there. I felt a little disappointed in myself because I actually kind of thought that I might have had a chance, but deep down I knew that I wouldn't see my name on that list. The kind of saddest part was that all my friends made it and were all happy and cheering and I was just standing there. It made me feel worse that everyone was happy for them, while I didn't make it.
     The second thing that's made this week pretty terrible is that I have been sick this whole week and my voice sounds deeper and my nose gets really runny. I take pills for it, but it never helps. Also, I have been in a bad mood this week. This whole school week has made me want to just go home and never come back. Like right now I want to go home, but the worst thing is that I cant. This week has just turned out the worst for me, but I have had worse weeks.    

     For the past three days were softball tryouts and I went to two of the practices. The first day I was trying for manager but they decided they weren't going to have managers this year. So the second day, Wednesday, I tried out for the team. I think I did pretty good, except I didn't do extremely well on catching the grounders. I caught the ball pretty good and threw good too. Today is the day they post up the list of the team. 
     I am very nervous because there were some really good girls and some really bad ones too. But all the girls were pretty good. If I don't make it, then I hope my friends do because they have been playing it longer than I have. I haven't been on a softball team or league nor have I tried to be on any team. This year I tried because I didn't do any sports this year and next year I am going to do a lot of sports. 
     If I make the team I will be extremely happy, but if I don't I will be okay with it because I know that I can tryout again next year. I would be able \
