End of Semester: Soccer, Recycling, and EXCERSIZE

Well its the end of the first semester. I think that throughout this time, I managed to complete a majority of the goals that I set out for myself and even more.



With my Recycling service, I felt as if we've done a good job this year. Each session has been productive and helpful to our environment. Instead of just throwing out paper, cardboard, and plastic in the garbage, we take it to a local recycler who pays us money for the amount of goods that we give him. Each time we go to him, we bring with us all of the school's recycling which is a testament to our efficiency. We are also looking for new leaders to take over the service. Next year we are going to look in more detail for people who possess leader qualities.



When it came to my excersize program, I wasn't able to use the treadmill that often as I had hoped. However, I was able to excersize every week by using my weights. I used them 3-4 times a week. Then I would go outside and excersize with my body bag. It was also my first time ever using weights like these and a body bag. I believe I used them to their full potential. So, despite not having a program with the treadmill, I still managed to do some excersize at my house with the equipment that was available.



SAISA Soccer has also started now, and I have had practices last Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday. We are going to continue with this training schedule for the rest of the season. Today, we even have our first game despite our small amount of practice time. Hopefully, after today's game I will learn what I need to improve on and if I need to learn new skills in order to be competitive. Also, the trainings give me an opportunity to excersize. However, with the December break approaching, I have to create some sort of program where I can excersize during the break in order to ensure that I don't get fat over the holiday.

Halloween Events

This holiday season, I once again served my American community by volunteering for the Haunted House. The one who was in charge was different then the one in the previous year, so things were different this time around. The setting of the Haunted House was changed and I had to play as a vampire and psycho. These were different roles then I had last year, so it was intresting to see how I acted as them. I also had to work with a variety of people who had little or no experience in a Haunted House. I found the experience both fun and profitable as it gave me a sense that I was donating something to my community.
