Rafael's Blog

This is my 101th post to this blog. I don't know if I will keep on posting on my blog because I might forget or become too busy, but I will make sure to remember it. This Blog will also be a memory of the things I have learned, and done my junior year in my English class.

I have finished all of my finals I am going to have this year, except for my math final. I am proud of the work that I have put in, and the effort I have put in to learn what I can. I will study hard to get ready for my math final. I hope that everybody has a great  week of school because this is the last one.

I could not post it yesterday. I will try to find another way today.

Today is the last day I will have this class. I hope that everyone has a great day and that somebody has learned great things from this class

I dont really post on weekends but I am really close to 100 Blog posts. I hope everyone has a great day. I am going to enjoy my days and study for my finals.

 Yesterday was game one of the NBA finals. The Cavaliers ended up losing that game to the Warriors. Lebron James scored 51 points for his team and still lost. I honestly felt bad for him, because the team he plays for does not deserve it. This game was also a disaster. The referees were clearly favoring the Warriors. Jr Smith also gave away the game for the Cavaliers, because he ran the clock to overtime instead of shooting for a potential game winning shot or calling a time out. George Hill, who is also a Cavaliers player, missed a free throw that could have been the game winner for the Cavaliers. Lebron played his heart out and to see him lose like this made me feel bad for him. I am glad I don't go for the Cavaliers because if I did I would be really pissed at my team.
