Once Upon a Time.... Ya who am I kidding? It is a True Story. I love Dryland

HOwDy!!!
     So once upon a time there was a teenage swimmer named... Latte. Latte was in all of the honors and advanced classes at their school.  Because of that, they had quite a bit of homework. They tried to never miss swim cause (in their opinion) swimming was much more important than school. (In reality it may not be true, but ya kno... that is how I/Latte feel.) Unfortunately, Latte had to spend about 4-6 hours on just math homework EVERYDAY, and their grade started to drop (Latte's grades were always A's, and they only rarely went below that during the 4 terms). Obviously that is a considerable amount of time. Because of that, Latte's madre and padre said that Latte couldn't go to dryland training till their grade in that class went up. So Latte, instead of going to dryland, went into the math lab at their school to get help.
    Latte spent the whole 1st term in that bloody math lab trying to get their grade up. They were able to get it to a B+, but that was unacceptable.  So Latte's mom had a talk with Latte's school councilor and eventually the school vice principal.  Latte's teacher hadn't been the best teacher and hadn't been actually teaching them the math.  All of the students in that class taught themselves the math using a textbook.  This just didn't seem fair to Latte's mom and the vice principal so Latte was pulled out of the class and put into an alternative highschool for that math class. Now Latte has time for their other homework, and they get to go to dryland. 
    Ya, that was a true story of what happened to me. In dryland we are lifting weights and it is sooo intense. I am very disappointed in how weak I am, so I am in hard training right now.  Lots of protein and exercise and dieting.  I am lovin all of it tho. :)
