My 19 birthday is in 14 days and i am very excited about being 19 because my car insurance will go down and that is it i think.  My insurance is sky high because when i was 17 i was in 2 accidents within 1 month of each other and i had a sports car.  Now i have a SUV and my mom told me if i really want an SUV i have to pay half of my insurance.  I guess this is what responsibility feels like


I have been taking gymnastic classes for the past 5 months and i enjoy it.  It helps me relieve stress because i have to be focused on what i am doing or i will have an accident.  Last week i was not focused and i went to do a round off and double back handspring but on my second back handspring i did not have enough momentum and my forehead glided across the mat.  My coach was very scared but i got up laughing because i thought it was funny the way i landed.  My forehead felt like it was burning so i went to the mirror and saw that i had a huge red carpet burn on my forehead.  For the remainder of the week i had to continuously tell the story over and over because people thought that i had gotten into a fight.


I recently started working at Finsih Line.  It is an athletic shoe store.  I enjoy working there because of the young atmosphere and just being in the mall.  Everyone there is very friendly.  This is the first job that i have had and not want to leave when it is time to get off.  During the summer i hope that my manager will be able to transfer me to the Finish Line in Charleston.


I recieved my english paper on my favorite food back.  I was shocked to see that i made a 65.  I thought i did worse than that because i was insecure about that paper and did not even want to turn it in.  The good thing about it is that we can get an extra 10 points for the peer review, so that left my grade to be a 75.  A 75 is not the best grade, but since writing is not my most favorite thing to do, i was ecstatic.


I am not a fan of writing or anything that has to do with writing.  Sometimes i can think of something really good in my head, then when i write it down on paper, it comes out to be something completely different.  The only writing that i do feel comfortable with is reflective writing, for example if we read a novel in class, i would be able to summarize the novel and reflect it upon something else.  I have 3 more english courses before i am done and i hope i get better in writing by the time i get out of english 111.
