My Life

My life is actually going rather smoothly right now! First, I got my first deer ever, and for Mrs. Sims sake I won't get into the details. Schooling is also going pretty well and I'm hoping to come out of this semester with all A's like I usually do. I strive to achieve straight A's not only for college, but also so I can learn more in the process because all information I can get for free now will help me in the future.
We also might be getting a dog! If we do, it will be a female beagle that stands 13 inches tall. My mom absolutely loves beagles and always has.
We have recently finished all of the major work in redoing the floor of our kitchen, which is a relief for me because it was tons of work. Although we used vinyl tiles, we got the groutable ones so we would be able to grout them. I'm not so sure that it's to make it any stronger or whatnot, but it definately makes it look a heck of a lot nicer. It was tons of work, but I think it was worth it.
Yesterday, I worked at my grandparents house and earned forty dollars. Usually around this time of the year, the work I do entails filling in holes dug by their four dogs with dirt, rocks, or concrete, usually depending on the location of the hole; oddjobs that they aren't fit to do themselves because of their ages; and hard physical labor around the house. Although this usually takes up most of the day, the money I earn is worth it since I have virtually no other source of steady income.
Towards the end of the work at my grandparents house I watched the football game with the Ravens and the Browns. I am an avid Ravens fan and I was definitely happy when the Ravens won. The score ended 21 to 14.
Next year I plan on playing football myself. Over the past couple weeks, accumulative research has tought me a lot of things about lifting, nutritious foods for building muscle, and recovery time between workouts. I had been doing a workout for a certain area of the body twice a week and was in pain, so I looked it up and found out you're only supposed to work one muscle group once a week so that the muscles can recover and grow. Working out twice a week rewarded me with little muscle growth and lots of pain, so I was relieved when I saw that. I think in the Rocky movies they over-dramatize him working out, preparing for a fight. Maybe that wasn't a focus on muscle growth, but instead a focus on self-discipline. Either way, things are working out well for me. Hopefully I can reach my desired weight within the desired times.
Anyways, I could probably go on and on and on with this blog about the same things, but I think for now this is enough.
Until next time, this is Timapheus Speak.

Hang in there on that goal. I'm sure you'll be a success, just as you are at everything else!

PS Thanks for not describing the... uh... the thing that would make me so sad that I can't even say it.
