I actually expected to be more upset if I got cut. I actually almost got into a fight afterwards for joking around with some guys that got cut. One of them got mad, and was like "Get out of here. Is everything a joke for you?!"
I said "Wanna hear the joke about the guys that got cut?"
Then he stood up, and I said "Let's go a couple rounds. Maybe you fight better than you play basketball."-all with this stupid grin on my face. He just sat down and started sulking again. I just didnt like the guy through all of tryouts- that temper is riduculous. I really had no intention of fighting him haha.

But all is good. I got next year. I'm gonna probably do the winter play now.

RoseOak reminded me, I want a 200 on PSAT. That will have me completely satified for this year.

@Ukgirl I always thought about debate. I enjoy arguing. But I don't usually argue to win, I argue to find compromise (not sure if thats good or bad in debate haha.) I just never wanted to make the time commitment, and pretty much every person I don't get along with is in it (I get along with mostly everyone, so it's coincidence that all the people that I dont are in debate.)
