The Chronicles of John Trammell

This memorial day weekend i was up at UC Davis for the California 4-H State Field Day, like i have been the past three years now.  For once we flew and not drove on the weekend to Sacramento  , which is a shock.  We flew up Friday night, my family and another 4-H member of our club.  We stayed at the Econo Lodge in Sacramento, it was cheap.  The next morning we woke up early and went to my favorite restaurant up in Davis called Cindy's for breakfast.  When we got to UC Davis, myself, Jess, and Josh from the computer corps set up for the Geo-caching event, which is treasure hunting with a GPS unit.  We did that for five hours.  Since I'm an 4-H State Ambassador I had to read off awards at the awards ceremony and shake everyones hands.  After the event we attended an evaluation meeting and eat dinner there.  Everyone liked the Geo-caching event.  I really wanted to hang out with my friends Matthew and his family but they left early an...

Yesterday was the California 4-H Southern Section Field Day where youth from all over southern california come together to compete in a competition of speech, demonstration, judging, and dog show.  I was there as the State Ambassador where i had to wear my suit and stand around and help where ever help was needed.  I normaly work at the food booth for the teen council but this year i can't with me wearing a suit.  I was the emcee for the afternoon program and i had to give a speech thing, which due to time i had to improvise part of it instead of read off everything.  Then the results were still not in so we had to stall, which i hate to stall, it is just makes us look dumb when it is not our fault.  O well. It went ok.  I got 2nd place on the judging contest.  NExt saturday I will be up at UC Davis for the state wide competition for this.  I will be running an 5 hour gps even for people to do while they wait for the awards and other stuff to happ...

Saturday night was my school prom located in Costa Mesa, near the beach.  I put on my suit with a silver shirt and tie and headed down to Jeff's house.  Of course I had to go back home because i forgot my ticket out of all the dumb things  .  When everyone got to Jeff's house we took some photos and headed our way to dinner in the limo.  On the way down manual got sick from not eatting anything all day, which was not fun, barfing out the window on the freeway  .  We got to the mall and ate at Rain Forest Cafe....scotty was able to find us after going to six flags.  After dinner we headed over to the prom and with luck scott was able to get in the prom by buying the ticket at the door.  The place where we had the prom was nice, indoors and outdoors....We stayed outdoors most of the time.  They had dipin Dots, free, and a CHOCOLATE FOUNTAIN!!!!! It was awsome.....I will try to get a slideshow soon on my profile with photos when i find time...

Last night was the AVID Sr. Reconition (Bad spelling  ) at the University of California Riverside.  We took a bus from school to Riverside and arrived there just in time when we all started walking in.  This event had many highschool seinors from all over southern california.  There was about 1,900 AVID Seinors.  Our Avid teacher gave us our shashes and our medalions right before going in the event.  We sat near the back and couldn't hear anything that the speakers were saying.  When it was time for them to stand up for our school everyone was quite, but noelle, in chearing.  In my opinion it was a waste of time.  We got back at school around 9:30.  My display photo (Was posted on Myspace) is with my friends Jeff and Noelle.  We are wearing our shashes and our medalions.

On Weds. and Thurs. after school i attended my freshmen orientation for Crafton Hills College.....I can't believe that in three months i will be in college.  I will be registering for classes on July 11th, 2006 and from this orientation i got my first college units and grade, which is an A   What a great way to start college don't you think.  School will start August 14th....the day after state leadership conference

There has been a lot that has been going on in the past few months and there is something that I learned.  That when people have problems with another person.....they don't come and talk about the problem themselfs.  I feel that if someone has a problem that needs to be fixed go to the person you have a problem with and talk things out.  Don't get pissed off and shut them out, if you where friends, or don't have someone else try to deal with your problems.  In high school that might work but in the real life getting other people to solve your problems for you can get you no where or get you in even more trouble.  Depending on the problem....if a person goes thourgh someone else, and use there power to solve the problem.....it makes that person look like a bitch in my eyes. Someone who just doesn't fix problems them self and get other people involved makes that person look real bad....and not to just a few people....but alot.....If some people don't change the wa...

Today is the beginning of planning out my next two years.  Before school I took the College Assessment Test in math and english.  This test will see what classes i will be taking next year at Crafton Hills College in Redlands.  Each time I answered a question the computer would beep and for some reason it refused to shut off the speakers so every time i have to answer a question it beeped.  It was kinda funny.  Thursday I have a meeting with a guidince counculor to sign up for classes.......Im so happy......
