School is going good. I received a B in Spanish; the class I was pretty much

failing in the beginning of the year. I also got another A in World

Civilization. The other teachers didn't give out my grades. I will finally

be able to get to my trainers tonight. I haven't been there for a couple of

weeks because of make weight practices at night. We have no match on

Saturday, so now I do not have to make weight this weekend†(EATING TIME!!)

We found out today that we have a match on Saturday, but the good thing is

I'm going up a weight class, so I do not have to cut the 3-4 pounds it would

have been. I have been hanging out with one of my old friends from 6th grade

again. She came to watch my match the other night. She is in my gym and

she broke up with her boyfriend today. After gym she gave me a hug and a

kiss, and my wrestling coach, who is my gym teacher stared at me, and said,

"Girls ruin wrestling champions." It was really funny. I worked with one

of my coaches from the youth club tonight and he helped me with a move that

the refs keep calling potentially dangerous against me. I am going to try

this move again tomorrow.

Today we had two easy teams. We blew them out with only one kid loosing

twice. I pinned the first and major decisioned the second. I worked the

move twice and got back points both times. No pin though. I had to also

keep my weight down for weigh-ins for a tournament on Sunday. On the bus

ride back from the meet, I ate my lunch, a sandwich and then I ate some

doughnuts. I got home and relaxed for about an hour or so, then drove out to

my friend's house because he was taking me to the weigh-in. After I got on

the scale I went back to get dressed and my money was missing. I started

flipping out, only to find out that my friend took it from me to buy a

pretzel. I had a big fight with my parents over the way I acted when I

thought the money was gone, and feel really bad for the way things turned

out. Things got better by the end of the night.

We drove to the tournament today. There were 3 kids in the bracket including

me. I just wanted to forfeit the match, take 2nd, and pay my advancement fee

and go home. The director would not let me do this until the medals were

being handed out. Then after about 4 hours of waiting he moved the matches

ahead. I finally wrestled my match and took 1st and went home. I started

studying for a test that I have on Wednesday and then went to bed.

School went well today. I got a B+ on my English test from last week, I'm

starting out 3rd quarter really good, for a change. Practice was fun because

we changed up our conditioning by doing "rail-roads", leap frog, and

crawling around the room. I left practice being 1 pound over, so my weight

is really good for Wednesday's match.(Thanks to the 2 pound allowance)

I worked out with one of my trainers tonight for about an hour. We had a

good time we drilled, worked on shots and live wrestled for a while. He

said that it was one of the best workouts we have had in a while. I think

it is because I'm not as focused on the weight issue. I went home and did

Math homework, read 2 chapters in the book To Kill a Mockingbird for

English, and went to bed.

Today is the best day of my life right now. We finally have the two-pound

allowance. Now I will never really have to worry about my weight again. I

got an A on my Spanish test, so I'm starting off the 3rd marking period

really good in two classes right now. Everything with school is finally

coming around. The girl from gym and I are still flirting back and forth.

After HS practice I went to practice at a club. I had a good practice at

the gym tonight, but I was getting frustrated with myself because I was

wrestling kids that were 140 pounds. Overall a good day.
