My life as a student athlete has had some crazy things happen as of late.  And now that school is basically in full swing, I have had to go through the entire process of every day up late doing whatever I can to get it done.  And so far this year, I'd have to say I've been pretty successful.  Every Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday I try and follow my normal routine with school and football and then eventually getting to training.  And I have to say, I'm pretty happy with the way that I have been able to get there.  Usually I get there at least twice a week which isn't bad for being in the middle of football season.  Football's is probably the hardest season to be able to get things done because you're just so tired all the time and never want to do anything post practice.  But luckily I've been able to get to and from training.  The real key to that though is the fact that I have my license now, and have the freedom since I have a car that's basically mine.  I get home around 8:30, if I'm lucky.  Eat something until nine, and eventually start my homework around then.  To be honest, I dread waiting until this late to to homework, especially on the days when I have Trigonometry to do.  Mrs. Nelson tries her hardest to get the most out of us, and pushes us to the limit.  It is hard work, I can't lie, and there's is a lot of times when I really don't wanna take the time look things up if I need help, especially if I'm not going to hand it in.  I don't really do what I should do sometimes when it comes to homework there, and I need to fix that.  Especially if I would like to keep my grade up in that class, which I need to do.  Trig is really the only class that I'm most scared of, just because of what I've heard about in the past.  Chemistry and Spanish are the next two hardest classes in my book, Spanish because I get lazy and take it for granted and really never want to do anything there.  Mainly because I really do not understand the entire course, and I feel like it's ridiculously complicated.  Chemistry is really interesting and I love it, but, throughout my freshman and sophomore years, I struggled in the Sciences and my goal for this year in that class, is just to understand all the material.  Right now I think I'm off to a very good start in all my classes, and my ultimate goal of course, is to continue my honor roll status.  I'm looking to 6 for 6 in my honor roll years since Middle School.  The PSAT is upcoming soon too.  Saturday, October 20th is the date for that I'm pretty sure, and it is $14 a person, and it is very helpful.  It can prepare your for the SAT, and you can get a nice look and what your going to be stressing over.  Tip #2 for a student athlete: If you are a junior, you must take the PSAT, if you are a sophomore, you can take it too, and I recommend it, I took it last year and it is a good experience, it also helps you for college, it helps you kind of get a grip on what you wanna do when your older.  The last couple days, or last week, I've had to make a very tough decision.  And that is what I'm going to do throughout the winter in baseball, how I'm going to get better, and who I am going to work with one on one.  It is really hard to make these kind of decisions without hurting anyone's feelings or stabbing anyone in the back.  But, it has to be done.  Tip #3 for a student athlete: Do what you think is right, go with your gut, and whatever is going to help you be the best you can possibly be, also if you're asking for help on a decision make sure you trust that person, and make sure they're being honest with you.  So you know how I'm a pretty big procrastinator, well due to my laziness and no will to do any work 4th block today, which is Friday of Homecoming game in the biggest game of the year against Depew, I'm sitting here at approximately 11:44 pm, doing my blog.  And to be honest this is not fun at all.  Especially when you run out of things to talk about, you just start rambling about dumb things like I am right now.  Anyways, huge win for us tonight, dominating on the scoreboard, a 34 to 13 victory for Alden, and we solidified our #1 ranking.  Next up for us is Medina/Lyndonville, a team with a high power offense that loves to throw the ball up and let people make plays.  It should be a nice test to see how we react after our big win.  We have now won 25 straight games against Section VI opponents are we are sitting pretty.  I can't wait to get back to the Ralph and get farther than last year, leading up to the game against Maine-Endwell, hoping we get to see them.  They are the number one team in the state and we are number two, should be interesting if it happens.  Till next time.
