Goals. For Freshman year.

1. Focus. I want to make my pool time count. I don't want to dive into the pool and sing a song through all of practice. I'm going to focus on every set, every lap, every stroke. I also want to make my time in class count- if I have to be there anyway, why not learn something.

2. Inspire. We can all work on becoming someone that people look up to and turn to for help and advice.

3. Be Positive. "It is our attitude at the beginning of a difficult task which, more than anything else, will affect It's successful outcome."-William James

4. Believe- in myself and others. The dictionary says that to believe means to have faith, confidence, and trust.

5. Make New Friends. I don't know who said this but it was hanging in my science class last year "There are no strangers here... Just friends you haven't met yet."

6. HAVE FUN!

Got any other good ideas? Comment!

State.

Well, this season came and went. Really fast. Expresso and I partied it up at state (too bad Latte couldn't be there... stupid work). I made finals in 5 of my 8 events i think. Anyway, I swam my first swim-off. Bleh. NEVER TIE! It turned out well, I dropped 9 seconds from my prelim time and I dropped 3 from my seed time (yeah, do the math, i added 6 in the prelims) and the girl I was racing dropped two from prelims and went barely a best time. I kind of felt bad. But she's the one who wanted to have a swim-off not just flip a coin so I had to kick her butt. I officially swim super slow in the mornings. I made my first state cut for seniors and missed one by .3. That was good seeing as I will need them soon. But, the shocker was that it was in the 100 butterfly. Me? A butterflier? No. I wish. But no. Latte is. :]] The 200 fly was the race of my life, though! Congrats to all of my fellow teammates! We all did really well! And congrats to Jedi Kungfu Monkey (#2) and Jedi Kungfu Energizer Bunny at zones. Jedi Kung-fu Energizer bunny went a best time in the 100 fly (1:15)! Just a little jealous of that kid. Can't wait to be back and swimming with my own team again. Love you guys and I miss you.


Can't wait for my first year swimming with the high school!
