today was the first official game for the varsity baseball team. the team won 16 to 0 against cape cod academy. i did not play in this game, but the fact that coach called me up to varsity lets me know that i am improving. the chance to watch the varsity game also allows me to view other players in their position and how to play that spot properly

baseball 3/26/2010

this week in baseball, we worked on different plays for different situations in a game. even though our scrimmages got canceled, we still practiced for the next games. i was having a tough time with making plays, but thanks to some help from other teammates, i have learned to accomplish these plays fully to my ability. by cooperating with the team, may it be Varsity or junior varsity, i fee that our team is becoming better and more prepared to face other schools and may even play in the state tournament.

this is the last class of greek for the rest of the year. i feel that by taking greek, i have learned about other cultures as well as the language itself, which was difficult to adjust to. also, i fel that i have grown on my learning ability becuase of the shift in language. teh translations that we had done havd gotten easier and easier, which shows me that i have been learning new vocabulary and have been applying them to what i have read.

food pantry 03/03/2010

this the the last time i will be attending the food pantry this year as next week i will be starting baseball and not be able to attend the pantry. as this is my last time, i feel that throughout the time i had volunteer at the food pantry, i have become more aware of the problem of the homeless and the needy in my town, as well as in the rest of the country. also, i feel that i have done my part in helping out the needy but through doing this service, i feel that i can do more and in the future, i think i can do more to help those people who are in need from these economic times.

greek 3/4/2010

this week in greek club, we were given a new story to translate, along with a new vocabulary list. the vocabulary from the week before has carried over to this story as to make it more difficult. i find that by translating the previous passage, some of the vocabulary has remained in my head, such as some Greek conjunctions that i did not know previously. through this repetitive work of translation, i find that i am learning a good understanding of Greek.

greek club 2/27/10

this week in Greek club, we learned a new declension, which is the 3rd declension. this declension, i felt, is the easiest that we learned in the club. Maybe it is like this because it is so similar to the the previous declensions. i feel that this will help me in my further study of Greek. also, we were given a sheet of vocabulary to study for next week for a quiz. this vocab will also be used in our translation of a new passage.
