The sun is out, the skies are clear, and Spring is just around the corner. Winter is just packing up its case and getting ready to head down to the Southern Hemisphere for a few months. After about 4 months in the cold, we could finally strip down our layers and enjoy the warmth from the sun while receiving a cool breeze from the North or the South.
I am so happy that Winter is finishing up. The weather has been cold for far too long for me to be in. I had to wear at least three layers (a shirt, a sweater, and a winter jacket) to stay warm and not get a runny nose for me to continually blow every 10-30 minutes. I don’t know about your guys and gals, but I did enjoy Winter’s beauty through snow and ice in our backyard and on the neighborhood’s lake. Mother Nature has amazing talents in creating art and destruction at the same time for us to be amazed and to be infuriated at the same time.
Anyway, I am not here just to talk about the weather that many of us either enjoyed or hated, I am here to just write about what has been going on for me.
To start off, my school has finished trimester two yesterday. We, the students, did our final exams this week. My final exams were in these 4 classes out of the five: Economics, Government A, French 3 A, and Symphonic Band. My A.P. Physics class didn’t have a final exam this week because the A.P. test wouldn’t be given out until the end of the school year. It is coming fast this year, so you know what that means, I need to begin my studying. Wish me well y’all.
Next topic I want to write about is the ACT test.

For all the juniors out there, I bet you are telling me to not bring up the subject. But this a blog is about my life and experience, so don’t nag on me for writing about my life. Anyway, last week, I had to take the ACT testing for two half school days. Tuesday was the multiple choice (English, Mathematics, Reading, and Science) and the writing test. Wednesday was the ACT WorkKey. Did many of you juniors took these tests on the same day as I did? I bet that a majority of you would say “yes.”
On March 1, 2015, I ran the Portage Winter Blast 5k race in 23:45. The temperature was 10* Fahrenheit that morning. My fingers and toes were frozen at the beginning, until after a mile, my body heat started to warm me in my jackets. To add the frozen treat, my cross country assistant coach was there. Below is the picture of me and my assistant coach.

I was the only Loy Norrix student who ran the 5k race

On March 2, Pitch Zoo has done its last community meeting. It was the 2nd anniversary of the creation of Pitch Zoo that night. I was there to listen to the final “pitchers” that pitched their business idea to the audience and to hear advice from my dad and the audience on how to make their pitch better. If you want to learn more about this meeting, here is the link to the Pitch Zoo website: http://www.pitchzoo.com/
The rest is just about jazz band and the National Honor Society Recycling. Nothing too special about those. Future update though: MSBOA State is going to happen on March 21 and Japanese Language Lesson is going to begin on March 19.

 Sorry about not posting frequently. Things has been a little crazy lately with the tests, the school clubs, and designing the backpack for my Pick’n Run business. I am making a plan on how often I should post on this blog.
Anyway, that is all for right now. I hope that you enjoyed reading this post and I will see you in the next post.
Peace out brothers and sisters. -MNM
