I lost, but don't despair

I lost the first two matches of my intramural wrestling bracket, which means I'm out of the competition. I forgot how much conditioning it took to be in shape for wrestling season in high school. That and I didn't realize how much my coach helped us out in that area without me knowing it. I made it through the first period no problem, but started to feel a little exhausted during the second period. In the first match I got pinned, so it ended there, but in the second match I only lost by a couple points, which means I had to wrestle the third period and I was definitely "gassed" as we used to say. I don't feel too bad about losing though, I'm glad to have wrestled, both matches were good work outs.

I had a history test on Friday, which is why I haven't blogged in the last week, too busy preparing for that and a quiz I had in another class, not that it did any good for the history test. Blah, I really need to start studying for his tests sooner, he makes it really hard. Sadly I finished the test. I know what your thinking, "Isn't that a good thing?" Well no, it's not because I didn't know a lot the answers so I guessed and filled in some bogus answers for the ones I didn't know which made those parts go by faster therefore allowing me to finish faster. I have been better prepared for his tests in the past, but in those cases, it has taken me too long to finish answering all the questions with the correct content. That's the sad part, the fact that I know I did bad on a test because I was able to finish it and knowing I would've done better had I not been able finish it. I can't help it if I'm a slow test taker, I always have been, whether I know the material or not. I don't know how I would be able to fix something like that.

Bible study tonight, and my room mate should be coming this time too. I'm excited again.

**Note to Sarah. Sorry about last post Sarah. I didn't mean to upset you, but I wish you would tell me how you feel about it, I fear you've boycotted talking to me, perhaps for more than just that reason. I hope you really just haven't been able to check back and/or reply because you were busy or gone or something. That would be a relief.
