AP classes

AP classes wont be as hard as most people think. There will be more work and more tests but not too much more than this year. The teachers that are saying that AP will be really hard are saying that to stop people who aren't serious about the class from taking it. During freshman year alot of teachers said that honors and accelerated would be hard but they ended up being pretty easy as lnog as you did the work.

Gunderson vs. Pioneer (volleyball)

We played our rivals pioneer on thursday at their house. This was the best we have played so far and we barely lost in the last match of the game. They won the first match of the game, then we came back and won the second. Then we played the third game to the last point but ended up losing, but we played a great game though.

gunderson vs. Lynbrook (volleyball)

We played lynbrook as an away game on tuesday. We started the game off pretty badly and lost the first match by alot. It didn't get much better in the next match either. We ended up losing in 2 matches and our coach was mad at us for giving up. We ran alot the next day.

Volleyball season

Only two more weeks until volleyball season officially starts. Our first opponent of the year will be Pioneer and it will be an away game. I think we will do very well when the season actually starts and that we will get alot better during preseason.

Fundraisers

I think our sports program should try to do more fundraisers to earn money for equipment and the bus costs. Each sport team maybe does one or two fundraisers in the whole season. Usually this money only goes to buy some of the equipment, never to pay for the buses and other needed things.

Gunderson vs. Cupertino (volleyball)

We played Cupertino on Tuesday at home. This was probably the closest game we have had all season. At the end we only lost by one point in the 3rd match. We lost the first match and won the second match. Our team has improved alot.

Research Paper

I am finally getting around to starting my research paper. I finished about a page and a half today. I am kind of worryed that i might run out of stuff to write, because 10 pages is a lot. Also I might wait till the last second to finish the last few pages of it which i is what i do for most essays.

Cahsee Test

I have heard that this test is going to be really easy and that most peple will pass it easily. I have never really liked math that much as a subject but it's never really been too hard either. I hope that the test is as easy as everyone says it is. I got room N -1 and i have no clue where that is.

Last few Volleyball games

The last 3 games the volleyball team has had have been varsity only because the other schools didn't have a j.v. team. Our varsity team did pretty good against all three of the other teams though.

Gunderson vs. Branham (volleyball)

We played Branham today at home for our third game of the season. We lost the first match by a couple points. Then lost the second one as well by 9 points. We played alot better this game then we did t game but we can still improve alot.

Gunderson vs. Wilcox (volleyball)

This was our second game of the preseason for volleyball. First was Santa Clara, which we lost. We lost this game by a couple points in the last round. We played pretty well but we didn't communicate too well and we didn't move around as quick as we should have.

Hard choice

This week i had to choose between doing track, Volleyball or joining another basketball league. It was a tough decision to make because all of these sports could help me for basketball next year. I ended up choosing volleyball because i heard it could get my vertical higher which could help alot for the basketball season.

P.E.

I think PE is a pretty useless class. The only thing it really does is kind of keep you in shape. But most people don't even really do anything so it fails at that too. It teaches people about sports that they probably won't even play again after high school. It's just an easy A.

Best season in 2 decades

The gunderson Varsity team won the league championship for the first time in 13 years. They finished the regular season with an almost undefeated 14-2. They also got to the second round of ccs for the first time in over 15 years.

Varsity basketball team vs. Harker

The varsity team played at Harker academy on Thursday in the 2nd round of CCS. They lost by 12 points to the Harker team lost their chance to go to the 3rd round. They lost mostly because of bad defence and no communication during the game. Varsity's season record, including post- season, is 14-3.
