I graduate from high school on Friday May 15th. The seniors get out of school a week before the rest of the students in the school. For the week before I graduate the seniors will be decorating the town Rec hall. The day after the seniors graduate the head start children will use the Rec hall for their graduation ceremony. And the next couple days we will be taking down all of the decorations we used.
During the summer I am going to be working as a baiter. I will be baiting for my Uncle Phillip. I baited for him last year also and made quite a bit of money. Baiting is one of the highest paying job a person could have for the summer. And hopefully I will be able to make as much money as I made last year.
I will be working with three other people. I think that two of the three people I will be working with are the same people I worked with last year. My uncle usually likes to hire two boys and two girls to work for him as a baiter. I think that my uncle will hire a different girl this year. He might hire a different girl because the other girl left for school and he does not know if she will come back this summer.
I think that baiting is a pretty good job to have for the summer. It is a good job because it is a really high paying job. And you only have to work about three to four hours a day. Also it is a very easy job to do because you are just cutting up bait and putting the bait on halibut hooks. The only down side of being a baiter is that you have to wear the same bad smelling clothes every day.

Weather here on St.Paul Island
The weather here on St. Paul has been very cold recently. It started to get really cold here a couple days after we came back from our basketball trip. The day we came back from our trip it was pretty warm here. It is very cold but there is still barely any snow around. All of the snow gets blown away and covered in sand.
Carpentry Class
In my final semester of high school I am taking a carpentry class. This is my third carpentry class that I have taken in since I have started high school. I took my first carpentry class in my 9th grade year. And I took my second carpentry class in my 11th grade year. So now I am taking my third carpentry class in my 12th grade year.
During my first carpentry class I made three different things. The first thing I made was a small tool shelf that I kept in the carpentry shop after I made it. The second thing I made was a medium sized table to put my television on. And the third thing that I made was a small wooden bowl that I use for coins. It took me nearly half of the semester to carve out that bowl. /
During my second carpentry class I only made one thing throughout the whole semester. The thing I made was a large box. I use this box for extra parts that I have for my four-wheeler. The reason why that was the only thing I made was because the teacher I had during that semester only wanted us to make what he said to make. And he made us do it really slow so it took us the whole semester to make it.
During this semester I had made only two things so far. The first thing I made was a small spice rack. The second thing I am making is a small jewelry box. I am still making the jewelry box but I am almost done with it. When I am done with this project I am going to start making a small shed just big enough to fit my four-wheeler in.

Iditarod Reading Race
Here in St.Paul our school does an Iditarod reading race. Most of the students in the school have to participate in this race. But the majority of the students who enter the race never finish. You have to read about 380 pages of a chapter book to be able to finish the race. I was able top finish the race yesterday.

Anchorage
When the basketball was finished with regionals we went over to Anchorage Alaska. We had to take a nine seated plane from Newhalen to Anchorage. The plane ride lasted about an hour. When we landed at the airport we had to sit at Iliamna Air terminal and wait for our ride. Our coach had to take a cab to the Ted Stevens airport and rent a car so that he could pick us up.
When our coach picked us up we took all of our luggage to the Coast International Inn. After we got all of our bags there we went over to the Village Inn, and had some lunch. After we were all finished eating our lunches we went over to the Fur rendezvous/ carnival. We only stayed there for about an hour because it was boring and it was cold outside. So we decided to go to the 5th Avenue mall.
After everyone was done buying stuff we went back to the hotel. We stayed at the hotel for a while and just hung out. Then my sister picked Robert and I up from the hotel so that we could go eat. We went to Red Robins for dinner. After we were done eating we went over to Walmart and bought some stuff.
After we went to Walmart we went to my sisters apartment. We sat in there living room for a little while and watched television. After a while we got bored so we went upstairs and started to play video games. We were playing Call Of Duty online with other people. After we played games for an hour or so, we went to bed.
The next morning we had to wake up early. We had to wake up early because our coach had an appointment at the apple store in 5th Avenue mall to have his computer fixed. While he was at his appointment every one was just walking around the mall. Some of us went to the food court at the mall and ate lunch. I went to subway and ate a sandwich for lunch.
After everyone was done buying stuff from 5th Avenue Mall we went over to Dimond Center Mall. We stayed there for about an hour and a half. Our coach had to go to the hospital and get his teeth worked on. Some of us who were at Dimond Center mall walked over to Walmart. We bought a bunch of drinks and snacks.
After we were done at Walmart we took all of the stuff we bought to the hotel. And when we left the hotel we went over to Moose's Tooth for dinner. We had to wait there for a while before we were able to eat because we were waiting on the person who said they would pay for the dinner. We were waiting there for about a half n hour before the guy showed up. When he finally showed up we ordered four pizzas.
After we ate we went back to the hotel. Then Robert and I got picked up from my sister and Roberts brother. We went to there apartment and hung out for a while. After a while we decided to go to a gas station to buy some drinks and snacks. Then we went over to Dimond Center and watched a movie.
The next day we had to wake up early and head to the hotel. We were up before the rest of the team. When we got to the hotel everyone else was still sleeping. After every body woke up we went over to the University of Alaska Anchorage. We took a tour of the whole campus. The tour lasted about an hour.
After we were done with the tour we went over to Dimond Center for a while. When we were done at Dimond we went over to the Cabelas store. I bought a bunch of bullets from there. After we were done there we went of to the Sports Authority store and then went over to REI. And then we went over to Red Robins for dinner.
Regionals
We left St. Paul last Wednesday to go to Newhalen for a Regional Basketball tournament. There were six different teams here at the tournament. The teams that went were St. Paul, Newhalen, New Stuyahok, Port Alsworth, King Cove and Manokotak. The games started on Wednesday the 4th and ended on Saturday the 7th. There were at least two games every day except for Saturday where they only had one game.
We played our first game against the Newhalen basketball team. The score was very close through out the whole game. We were down by a couple points near the end of the fourth quarter but we were able to time the game and the game was put into overtime. They put four minutes on the clock for over time. We kept it close through the beginning of the over time but we ended up losing at the end.
The next game we played was against Port Alsworth. We played this game the same day as we played against Newhalen. Every one on our team was playing a little sloppy. We were all tired because we played a game already that day. We led throughout the whole game but we were playing really sloppy in the first half and our coach was mad at us. We played a lot better in the second half and came out with the win.
The next day we played our final game against New Stuyahok. Every one was still tired when we started playing this game. We were a head by about 14 points at the end of the first half. But we started playing really sloppy when the second half started. We ended up losing to them by about eight points.

Basketball
I played my last home game on friday. We also had senior night before we started the game. Senior night is when our coach announces that we are seniors and that it will be our last game we play at home as Sea Parrots. Coach had each one of walk to the middle of the court while he talked about how it was having each of us on the team. It was pretty fun playing our last home game.
