Dallin Shoji Part II

Try outs is happening right now. It turns out that my JV coach last year told the other setter that he needs to compete with me for that starting spot. I am excited and frightened by the fact that I have a chance to start. I am not expecting anything, because I don't know how good I am or how good I need to be. Corona Del Mar, the best team in our league, has at least 2 guys going to D-1 colleges to play volleyball. It is going to be super fun! I need to work as hard as I can.
I ended my semester with a 3.6 GPA. That is not bad, but not what I hoped. I really needed an A in Math, but no, I got a B. I did get a 103% on my science final though, which was awesome. I felt kind of bad because my teacher set the curve before my class took the test, and then I beat it. But I felt kind of bad because one of my friends worked really hard to set that curve, and I did not really study all that hard.
I am going to EFY with Evan Myres, my cousin. We are both extremely excited, but I think we are too excited if it is 6 months away, which is really too bad. We are going to BYU and are staying in Heleman Halls.
Life is good.

Dallin Shoji Part I



Well, 2010 is done. Too bad, but I am thankful. This year better be good, because I have been waiting for a good year for a long time. I'll start with Christmas. I gave to Austin this year, and all he wanted was one thing. For me to sign a contract, that said that I would do whatever it takes to do well in volleyball. He expects me to be quite the setter. He expects me to be this guy on the left. This guy is the best setter in nation. Austin wants to be this guy on the right. He is the greatest outside hitter in the nation. He has high expectations for the team this year, as do I. Corona Del Mar, the best team in the county, is in our league. I EXPECT to beat them this year. I have absolutely no idea why, but I am not nervous right now to play them. Sure, a 6'7" outside hitter hitting at your face is scary, but I'll survive.
