Where I've Been

I guess I have some 'splaining to do.

I know I haven't been posting in a while, but I've been kind of busy, what with school, basketball, holidays, etc. (all of which will be talked about in this post! How convenient am I?) So, allow me to bring you up-to-date.

My team lost our first basketball game of the season, 45-24. It was a bit of a toughie, considering that we had only had one practice before that, but overall, I don't think we did that bad! My teammates and I are still warming up to each other, and getting used to the plays, and strategies, so, I guess there's nothing we can do about it, except improve.
A downside to that, though, is that due to yesterday's holiday- Veterans' Day- we couldn't have practice, which means we'll be playing our second game this Saturday, with only one practice so far! I'm not sure how much that will affect our game, but I'm sure we can adjust the little mistakes we made last time.

Speaking of Veterans' Day, I've got some exciting news for you all (more like for me, and my family, but I'm sure you'll be able to feel the excitement wherever you may be). I overheard a conversation between my parents the other night (I've gotten good at eavesdropping on conversations. I get good practice whenever my mom is on the phone. Hehe :-]), and my dad was saying that he was chatting with one of his pals online, asking him if he would be considered a veteran, since he had been in the Navy.
I'm not sure what the qualifications were to be a veteran, but Dad had them. So, now, every Veterans' Day, not only can I thank the strangers that have served our country, but I can thank my dad as well! So, (though, I may be a bit late with this) thank you, Dad!

As far as school goes, Term 1 ended last Friday, and I'll be getting my report card (*gasp!*) TOMORROW!!!

Dun-dun-duuuuun!
I have a weird feeling in the pit of my stomach that I'll, once again, be just a C away from making Honor Roll. Oh, believe me, I try to make Honor Roll... I just... kind of.... "slack-off" (I use that term lightly).

Anyway, not much else to say at this point! Hope you all are doing just swell, and I'll talk to you soon!

Yours in awesomeness,
~Ry.
