First day back from a long weekend

Today was the first day back to school from the long weekend. For breakfast I had a granola bar, but I don't think I got much energy from it.  I felt sleepy in class and almost fell asleep later in math class. I started to wake up at lunch, which is at 11:05. "Finally, finally" went through my head when I heard that we will be going outside for the first time in a week. I played soccer at recess. I didn't score, but I tried with multiple shots on goal, and a free kick. Hopefully, I can score tomorrow if we go outside. The score was 3-0, with my team losing. During intervention, me and my friend started to work on the next episode of 4 boys, 1 car. After school, I packed my dinner to eat at taekwondo, grabbed all of my stuff, then headed out the door. When I got to taekwondo, I thought "This is going to be a long time till I leave", because I leave at 7:45. After I leave, I go to basketball from 8:00-9:00pm. I'm enjoying my season but don't really like the super late practice time. I started making traffic lights in Minecraft, because why not. Afterwards, I took a shower and wrote this before settling down for bed. Another super tiring night and I'm ready for this weekend to come. We have a half day on Friday and may be getting some snowy weather. Fingers crossed.
