My Thoughts on the First Nine Weeks of Senior Year

   Not the most exciting thing so far. As far as academically. My ranking has dropped a bit. :( but I'm still top 25%. Oh, then there was the Renaissance Festival two Friday's ago. That was probably the most fun I've had all year, all my high school years! My camera died out when we were on the Fair grounds so I couldn't take any pictures!
   Last Friday I had a MMA Fighting tournament with some of the guys here from the school. That was awesome! I won the tournament after three fights. My first opponent was Isaac Garcia. I busted his nose and lip (and loosened a tooth of his) in a minute and twenty two seconds of the very first round. After that he didn't want to continue.
   Then I fought Armando Villareal. That fight, was fight of the night! We were punching and kicking, kneeing and throwing down. I kept him treading backwards and he kept stepping out of the ring. So we'd reset back to our corners and go at it again. We fought for three, two minute rounds and I won a close split decision. (3/2 votes!)
   After that I fought Michael Chavez. By this time I was pretty tired. And I wound up submitting him via rear naked choke to win the tournament!
   My parents and family were so proud of me. I was just happy that they were there. My mother was so frantic but so supportive of me the entire time. Thanks guys. Thank you everybody. Those who knew about the fight and believed that I would take it. I love you all.

   Now after a weekend to recover this is what my face looks like...
