Today I went to the Cross Country star championship meet. It was my first time and was better than I thought it was going to be. Since I am in high school I got to ride in the huge charter bus. I brought my laptop and my phone to entertain me on the way there and the way back. The ride was my favorite part. On the way there we also topped at a truck stop, i bought a bunch of candy and some lemonade. It was delicious.
When we got there we set up our team area. It was really just an awning that we claimed as our team area. Since it was connected to a churches youth room we got to play ping pong and use their restrooms. That was awesome. But the greatest thing is our team won. For the 18th year in a row we won the state meet. It was very exciting. I really hope to be in the top seven team one day and win.

Free Post 11/11
I had a good time seeing Thor The Dark World with my uncle. He took me to brunch at City Cafe and then went to the movie. It was awesome, it is about Thor and his human love Jane. Thor must sacrifice and commit treason to save the 9 realms. Its is really awesome and the CGI effects are great and look extremely realistic.
In the previews I saw some cool movies to. Like Captain America The Winter Soldier, a new X-Men movie, and Anchor Man 2. Those really looked good to me and I'm probably going to see them with my uncle as well.
Island Simulation Response
I thought that the Island simulation went terrible. It was extremely disorganized, and there was no communication throughout the group. Someone should've have taken up the leader role. I had no want in taking up that job though. If I was on the island and there where 16 of us and 16 little kids we would need certain people on certain jobs. There would be two people on the kids, two on fire wood duty, two people for shelter, and 4 for food(hunting, gathering, scouting,...).
Some challenges we might face are the indigenous species. Things like natural predators there. Another challenge would be geographical features, a dry desert, dense jungle, maybe a volcano. Another would be disease and famine. Not having enough food would kill your and if you or the food is diseased with no medicine you could die. Maybe other things like disagreements within the group, learning to live with each other, native peoples on the island, etc.

Literary Anlysis
For the analysis I have finished the outline and am in the process of thinking about my draft. This projects is pretty intimidating but I believe I am doing well. I really enjoyed any work days we had for the assignment. They helped me a lot and I also used the time we talked in the writing room.
Bames Jond
He emerges from the dark room, with a suite and tie. Pistol in hand he sprints down the hall way to the screaming mistress. Though the door is locked, this man with a peculiar set of skills. He has earned his way to triple 0 status. Three kills is all he needed. He succeeded, but this is a different story. The mistress screaming, he kicks down the door and discovers an empty room an a single radio.
The radio was relaying the terrifying scream. He fires two shots through the radio. Blowing it to shreds. As he leaves the, door locks, he turns around to see the other opposite wall opening in two. Once it opens it reveals a tank filled with crocs. And a women hanging from a rope. He hears a cackle. "Hahahaha!" It was Silver Toe his arch enemy. It was simple, kill Silver and save the girl. With three shots the maniac was dead, leaving only one problem. The girl hanging over the tank.
He checks his clip. One shot. He runs to the other said with an opening in the railing and usered the girls safety. He fired the shot straight through the rope and with a leap like an eagle catches her and lands to safety.
"Whats your name fellow?" the girls asks.
"The names Jond, Bames Jond."
