Motocross Driving

Last Sunday (November 14th) I went to drive motocross at a track. I am doing motocross as action for the CAS programmge since it is something I enjoy. In the beginning of the semester I made a goal that I will join a motocross race in 2011. I believe I can achieve this goal if I keep practicing every weekend or whenever I have time. On Sunday I did quite well and I was satisfied with my driving; in order to improve I will have to practice more in turns and I need to practice a bit more at jumping. Overall I have great timing and my driving is smooth which is really important. Next time I'm going driving I will concentrate more on starts and drive more agressively. Below are some pictures as proof that I have actually been driving motocross :)

Football Match

On November 3rd, we had a football game against Lyceum which was a great opportunity for us to be in a game situation. I played right mid filled which worked for me quite well because I kept myself open and in the game. However next time i need to play a bit more in the middle as well and I need to use my left foot as well, which i will have to practice. Other than that i think the match was really great and since the other team wasn't very experienced we were able to focus more on passing and taking time with the ball instead of rushing into something.

This week we have been working on penalty shots, kicking with our left feet, precision, and timing. All these techniques will help us in a real game if we make the team. I think i have learnt a lot from all the practices i have attended and that it will really help me in the future.

Stage and Set Design

In October I was able to attend some sessions for Stage and Set design. In this after school activity we designed two different back drops for the primary production which was really interesting and I was able to use some of my art skills for it. The back drops are really colorful and will probably be great at the primary production which is this week.

However since I started football on Tuesdays i was unable to attend this after school activity. I am now looking for something to do for creativity which will most probably be guitar or instrument such as piano. This would be a challenge but something that I would enjoy because I have always wanted to learn how to play some kind of instrument.

Football

For the last few weeks I have been attending football practices which has been successful. I have been able to improve my football skills quite fast and im really enjoying it. Last Saturday the football team had a game but i wasn't able to attend it because I was sick. However today (Wednesday, 3rd November) we are having a game against Lyceum. This will give me a chance to see how a real game is going to be :)
