first day of trout season

today was the first day of trout season as many of you know. I went to camp last night as we do every year for the beginning of the season. we went out for awhile and when we returned we were sitting around inside camp when we heard some noises outside.
We got the spot light and looked out and saw that we had a bear eating everything in our coolers. This bear was huge. My dad has shot a few bears hunting so he can kinda judge the size of them. He said it was probable over 400 pounds. Like i said it was huge. but today we went fishing caught alot of fish, and i had to return to SRU so i can emprove my portfolio that is due on tuesday.. Luckely mine is almost done i just gotta fine tune it and write my reflections for the domains. But needless to say i had to leave camp a day early. Im not all that happy about that.

NCAA

This years NCAA games were one of the most exciting years. I have always loved watching the basketball games but it was different this year. Each and every game was close, with many upsets. I won my bracket with outstanding numbers. No one could beat me before the final four games. I won the bracket and put my money i won to my PE warm up siut. wasnt real happy about that but hey i had to get it.

projects

as the semister slowley comes to a close the projects and work load seem to just pile up. This is the time of year when we need to start and focus on finals but in alot of my classes i have so many projects due that studying for finals is going to have to wait untill the week of probably to start studying. . trout season also opens next weekend and this will put a damper into me getting work done on the weekends and week nights. I hate this time of year. THe weather is breaking and getting nice out but the work is piling up.

teaching

well today i had to teach a lesson on cricket for striking and fielding and it was a tough one. It all started off bad. I tried contacting my partner all weekend to meet so we would go over the lesson plan that i put together because he would never answer my phone calls. Well sunday ngiht i never got a phone call back so i went to sleep. This morning i woke up with 2 missed calls from him. He wanted to meet last ngiht at 11 o clock. i ended up meeting him the morning our lesson was due to be taught. we began to teach and i was trying to let him teach but it was affecting our grade. I ended up teaching the lesson myself petty much. Luckly coach Ruiz noticed what was going on and split our grades up. This lesson today made me realize that you have to be ready for anything and expect the worse when planning a lesson.

cricket

On monday i will be teaching a lesson on cricket. This is the first time i have created a lesson plan for an activity i have never played nor heard of. Im kinda nervous because if i get stuck i cant just think of past experiences and use that to help the class out. When teaching something like softball i can relate back to baseball and slow pitch softball and answer the questions that someone might have. but with cricket it is completly different. I am looking forward to teaching and learning something new but at the same time im kinda nervous.

Duke looses in 2nd round

As many of you know Duke ranked number 2 in the west lost in the 2nd round to WVU. This screwed up many peoples brackets and upset alot of people. But for me this is what i expected. I had Duke loosing in the 2nd round to wvu and people were making fun of me saying it would never happen. But as it turned out the crazy upset that i picked turned out to be true. this years bracket is turning out to be a pretty crazy one with lots of unexpected upsets. How cant u love this time of year. College basketball is on just about every minute of the day. IF there is not a game on ESPN is breaking down and taking thier picks for the next round..
