Basketball, School is Ending, whatever

What is up yall? Yeah I like typing things that I would kill myself for saying.
I am currently 1350 shots off of my 15000 made shots by graduation. I don't know if I will make it, since I only have like 4 or 5 more days to shoot. I hope to muster a few shots over the senior trip, but I am not counting on any. I am also at 19.5 hrs of ballhandling, but I don't really have a goal for that. I think 20 hours sounds pretty good, but I will go over that. This is set from Presidents day, by the way. I don't tell you that to brag, but I think I told you guys I was setting a goal for myself, and I wanted to give an update. It is not the goals that I originally wanted, but the point is not necessarily to reach the goals, its to challenge myself to get better. So I have accomplished that I believe.
This week was interesting at the club, because all of the good ballers seem to be coming back from college. I kind of want to play them. But I did not expect to see Matt Bouldin there. For those of you who don't know(and shame on you for not knowing), Matt Bouldin played for Gonzaga for 4 years, and now plays in the D-League. Or at least that is where he finished this year. So basically, he is a stud at basketball. So I was minding my business, doing my ab workout, when I saw him, and I was like is that Matt Bouldin?? Sure enough. He is huge, for sure an elite athlete. However, I feel like I was one of the only people who knew who he was. I was the only person I saw who went up and talked to him(asked why he was in Richland). So I was sitting there like freaking out, and no one else seemed to care. I mean, I remember in 8th grade, when Mitson was trying to get me to shoot on the side of my head, I  was not going to have any bit of that, and my dad was like, look at Gonzaga's new freshman, Matt Bouldin, who shoots the ball over his eye, just like you are supposed to. So yeah, I knew who he was, but maybe 2 of the 20 something people in the gym even seemed to take notice of the 6'5" GUARD shooting around. Maybe I am the only one who watches college basketball. And wow that turned into a long paragraph.
So this was my last week of high school. Yeah. It was good I suppose. And senioritis is in full swing, because I am so done with high school. I have some homework to do tomorrow and the next day, labs and a paper for IS Bible, and I have to study for my Physics final. So I will do some of it tomorrow, some of it on Monday on my way to Spokane for my 6 month knee check up. Then on Tuesday I will take my final, go to Liberty to turn in my labs and the paper, say goodbye to the first graders, and that will be it. Wednesday I leave for L.A. on the senior trip, then I have a few days of graduation practice and that's it. That is really weird, but it is time. Sometimes there are things like that, where you say yeah I liked this, but it is just time for it to end and move on.
I don't think that friendships should be like that though. Yeah some people are just not good to be around, so that friendship should end, and some just fade away, like there wasn't much in common and you just had similar friends, but a lot just evolve overtime. It bugs to see friendships that have just come to bitter ends, and I had to see a bit of that this week. It just sucks. It makes you feel kind of sick, even if it doesn't directly involve you.
I think that is all for tonight, I don't have a ton to say.
