This week was alright, not too much homework and for once not a single quiz just one test for the week. This test didn’t require too much studying either so it was fine, I found myself not exercising my virtues too much inside of school though, except for when I had to study for the test in which I had to be committed to actually study for it because I was close to not actually studying. However I mostly exercised my virtues outside of school in sports. I have been improving in the new position my coach gave me a lot and I have been committed and determined to continue improving, our first game is on Monday and I need to get to the level of playing that will be needed to win. Lastly Thanksgiving break is right around the corner and next week will not be too difficult.
This week was actually pretty good for once, we barely had any homework and we had no school on Tuesday and Friday. We also only had one quiz which compared to most weeks is amazing. I however did find any opportunities inside of school, however outside of school I was actually able to practice my virtues. In basketball  my patience, which has improved a lot was again practiced, my coach made us run plenty of laps since we kept messing up on what he wanted us to do, and although we sometimes didn’t actually mess up I decided to not say anything and run anyways. I also practiced my commitment and determination, my coach put me in a position where I usually never play and he told me I had to learn that position, so I was committed to learn that position and determined to become good at it.
This week was pretty good, not doing too much in classes since it was a new grading period and not getting any homework for the first few, which was hella surprising since that never happens. On Thursday though I barely had time to sleep because I had a debate competition on Friday and I had to prepare for it, and then wake up at around 5 am to get ready because it was about a 2 hour drive. My patience was really put to the test bot only because I got almost no sleep but also because the competition was so long and so boring that I had to sit in a room for about 7 hours talking about the things I had been preparing for. I honestly much have rather been in school because it was so damn boring, my virtue of patience has been developing a lot these few weeks.
