On Friday I went to school and went about my day like every other day of the week(besides
weekends)
and went to crew practice at the Umass Lowell Bellegarde Boathouse right next to the Merrimack River. The water was very still and the view was beautiful. Although, I didn't get to get on the boat on the water some of my teammates and I had to help get our boats and things ready for our first away race for the season. Some of the things we did was to to derig boats, get all oars, and strap the boats on a trailer. After practice, My friend and I went to my house, ate, and made posters for our friend who is on the football team. As soon as we got ready we headed over to Cawley Stadium where the Varsity Lowell High football team was going against out rivals Central Catholic. It was freezing cold and very crowded. People were shouting and screaming cheering on Lowell High, unfortunately we did lose a very tough game and the score was 44-6 Central Catholic with the win. After a cold night at Cawley Stadium I went home and slept.

It was still extremely dark outside when I woke up at 5'oclock in the morning. I rushed in the shower and cleaned up my room to get to the Boathouse no later than 6'oclock to catch the bus to Worcester Massachusetts for our race. I was vey anxious because I left my house at 5:53 and arrived there at 5:58 where I already saw buses lined up. I had brought my Stitch Pillow Pet and my pink Hello Kitty blanket and as soon as the bus drove off I tried to fall asleep. Driving by the Merrimack River is so beautiful at 6 in the morning where the water is an amazing blue color, crystal clear, and a light fog or mist was going over it. The very pretty scene put me to sleep and I slept so comfy on the bus cuddling with my best friend. I woke up about thirty minutes later to see the town and neighborhoods in Worcester. The houses were huge and there were many building when we got to it seemed like a little downtown. Once we arrived at Worcester's Boathouse it was even more cold than Lowell. The mist or fog over their river was enormous but xo amazing and beautiful. The day was going by fast where we ate and watched other boats as they raced. Eventually, it was time for our race, We quickly had to wet launch, walking in the river to place a boat in, and started doing drills up to the start line. As we come to the start line we see so many other boats waiting. We realized that everyone's races became delayed and we waited for 40 minutes until we started. Once we started it was so fast. We passed a boat and finished a 4000 meter race in 19 minutes and 25 seconds. It was great. Then we drove back to Lowell where we quickly had to unload the trailer and get all the boats and supplies back in the Boathouse. After, I went to Family Dollar with my mom where we picked up wrapping paper and a card for my friends birthday the next day. Once I got home I wrapped all the gifts and completely exhausted I went to bed.

So exhausted from the night before I woke up early in the morning to get ready for my friend's football game at Central Catholic in Lawrence Massachusetts. Once we got to the field the score was 0-0. The game went by fairly quickly and again Lowell High lost 28-12 Central Catholic with the win. After the game we drove back into to Lowell to pick up a birthday cake because it was my
friend's birthday, picked him up from Cawley Staduim, where we then went to a Chinese Restaurant all the way in Concord Massachusetts. Along the car ride to Concord, my mom gets into an accident around a rotary with this older woman. The lady accused my mom of not being in the right lane, however my mom was actually in the right lane. The accident was not severe and nobody got hurt. Fortunately, the lady involved in the accident was very sweet and forgiving about the situation. After the policed finished looking and asking questions about the accident we then headed to the restaurant. Once getting to the restaurant my family ate and we sang happy birthday to my friend. After we ate, we then went to Kimball Farm in Westford Massachusetts where we ate icecream. Still ready to do other things, I went to have dinner at my friend's house in Lowell Massachusetts with him and his parents. It was a relaxing night with great food and a great movie called Despicable Me. I then went home so tired and went soundly to sleep.

If I had to keep journal of everything I saw or did everyday I think it would be very challenging. I think it would be challenging because while I am doing something I might not have the time to write everything I saw or did and once I have the time to write things down I would've forgotten what I saw. I would not enjoy writing a detailed journal because I will not see something important or do anything adventurous that I would feel to write down in the journal. Some days will be completely boring because I will just be sitting at home and there is nothing so important that I would do that I should write in the journal.
