Helloooo. It is almost the end of the week for you guys. (: Keep going.
Okay, enough of that. Let's get down to business: Drawing the line. If you don't know already, I like working with solid lines. It is either yes or no. Black or white. This or that. Makes sense as to why I like math rather than English. So, the question is: how do you draw the line with your friends?
Just on Friday, I had an issue like that one occur and I feel like I was a little more irritated in dealing with it than I could've been. What happened was that one of my friends had asked to "look"(by that she meant copying)at some of my notes for Science, while we were in Math class. (We had Science next and he was checking our notes).
I retaliated to the thought of it immediately.
The two things that immediately set me off are: Copying and Lying. If you do either of those to me, I will rage on you.
(Omg...I just got a memory of this coward in my science class who couldn't do something in his experiment that Hannah and I did and attempted to take our sheets with the recorded observations from us. First, he tried to take the sheet, which we immediately took back. Next, he tried to take a picture of it. THEN, he had the audacity to try to record a video of the information on the sheet (3 TIMES!) before my hand could cover the information in time. I got soooo pissed off that I was literally like throwing his hand away and yelling. I STILL hate him to this day.... I didn't tell the teacher because the assignment wasn't even going to be collected but the actions. KJBDSGKJBDASKJGESNG)
Anyways, I started off by asking her why she needed my science notes, after she asks for them. She replied with, He's checking the notes today. Then I asked her if she were away a certain day that the notes were taken and she replied no. This immediately alarmed me because I'm like WTF? Then why do you need it?
I get very protective over my possessions and the things that I do. So the fact that she had the notes but still wanted to copy mine down was outrageous. She said that she forgot her notes at home and our science teacher was checking them today,so she needed it. And so I gave them to her.
We are semi-close friends, but still. I think we can both agree that the whole situation didn't have to be as big as a deal as it was. I even told her that even when I give my notes to someone who was away a certain day, I am still hesitant to do it, but I still give it to them because of the inevitable circumstance: They weren't here.
And then, another semi-close friend came over and did the same thing. After all of that commotion, I just handed it to her and she left with it, satisfied. I guess I just feel like I'm being taken advantage of. Me and you had the same opportunity to copy down the notes on the board and record the things the teacher said and what not, so why must you know what my notes say? I know that I could be feeling flattered to know that my notes are great, but at the same time, they are my notes.
Anyways, aside from that, I want to talk about my basketball game. It wasn't exactly a game that I had particularly fun with. The team was number one in our division made up of 6 schools. I think I mentioned 2 or 3 posts before, that this team scored an average of 50 points in every game. This scared me.
As the game started, the team had already scored 10 points and the first quarter wasn't even over. We were trailing by 8. They were very fast and quite good shooters. The majority of their points were made through lay ups.
I got put on for a part of the 2nd quarter to defend this girl who was good at driving. I think I did pretty well :3 It was half time and we were probably down by a good 10 points or so. The pace of the game was very fast. My coach noticed that they tried to get the ball down as fast as possible to score so that we wouldn't get back in time to block them. Our coach wanted us to do the same and forget everything that we ever learned. -_____-
I got VERY tired, VERY fast. I can't even imagine how bad it was for the girl on my team who was put on for the entire game.
I stayed on for the entire 3rd quarter and part of the 4th. A lot of the players on our bench didn't get to play at all, so my coach put them all on like 2 minutes before it ended at which time, we were trailing by 20 or so points. The game ended with a score of 17 - 39, which was not bad considering that most teams who faced them scored around a little less than 20 points. I was VERY happy to see that they didn't even reach the 40 point mark though :DDD
However, what was quite upsetting was that my coach didn't even put have one point guard on the court for half of the game. There are 5 of them on our team, which makes up 1/3 of the team, and NONE of them were on. I'm guessing she needed good defense and points scored. It was rough on the court but we finished well. Our next game is next Tuesday against a school that is definitely around our level and totally beatable material ;) Hopefully, I'll have a post up on the weekend but if not, it'll probably be some other weekend. BYEEEEE

Holy crap, I remember that too from last year! I forget exactly who it was and I don't remember the videotaping, but I do recall people trying to look at our sheet. Assholes. The thing was, we didn't fully understand it either. And I can't believe people asked for your notes when they had the opportunity to copy them down. That's just ridiculous. If someone does that again, say, "No. You were in class. You should have taken the notes. If you left them at home, you tell him that." He would have accepted them on Wednesday anyway. He even said the other class was handing all of them in on Wednesday instead of last Friday. That's really irritating.
