Orthodontist.
Today I was checked out during Spanish class about thirty minutes before the bell and went over to the Orthodontist to let them stare at my mouth for about an hour. As usual I signed in, brushed my teeth, then walked over and sat down in the patient's chair that I normally sit in. I had a feeling that this time I was going to get rubber bands to move my teeth some more so I don't look like a horse with buck teeth.
After I had my wires changed and had all the other unnecessary things out of the way, the Orthodontist's assistant asked me what color I would like for the clips that go on the bracket of the braces. I chose the color dark purple. She then gave me two big packets of rubber bands that were lime green, purple, and pink. My mouth is asymmetrical so I have to remember how far back the rubber band's are supposed to go. They attach at the top and bottom on each side. When I got home I fell asleep and woke up an hour later. My mouth didn't hurt earlier, but now it really hurts.

Although the other freshman and I have to do everything because of seniority, I am extremely exited for soccer season. Having played soccer since fourth grade, I am going into the season pretty well prepared. Playing with the upper class-men is going to be a really fun experience.
The one thing that is bugging me with soccer is the practices run late almost everyday. The reason for this is that at the end of every practice there is a workout that includes a lot of running. I also start off every season out of shape and get totally winded every time I run more than ten feet. After a few weeks of showing off my absolutely pitiful amount of stamina I start to get back into shape and can then run for longer periods of time and not get as tired. Aside from my terrible stamina and the late running practices I am definitely looking forward my first soccer season in high school.

Deserted Island Simulation Reflection
When our class did the Deserted Island Simulation I expected our class to be really unorganized. I honestly think that our class was pretty organized when doing the activity. Even though we weren't really stranded on an island it was still interesting to get a basic understanding of what our class would do if this really did happen to us.
Although our class was organized I think most of us had no idea what to do because i'm assuming that most of us don't camp very often or have never been. If this had actually happened in real life I don't think we would have been as quick to making a plan. I think we would probably start looking for water or shelter instead of saying who's doing this and who's doing that. This activity was a really fun experience for our class. If we had a few more tries each with different mind sets we could have had a better chance of coming up with an action plan.
