     Why, HOWDY!  It has been too long since this blog was posted upon. It is depressing. If I could just blog 24/7 I would.  I love writing so very much.
     Swimming is going quite swimmingly.  During dryland yesterday we did a decent amount of pullups.... My arms have some sharper muscle pain today.  It is difficult to lift up my backpack.  Good thing I have guy friends who can lift my backpack for me! I cannot wait for October... 13th? It is going to be the Blue and Gold meet for my highschool team.  I wonder which of my captains chose me? Of course I'll be less likely to be in hot commodity due to my slight difficulties with butterfly as of right now.  I am hopeful that they will look beyond that and I will be chosen quickly. 
     I am actually in school right now... My English class is quite fun.  For it, we have to participate in a class blog and contribute to arguments.  We have learned different techniques and ways to argue, ect.  It is quite interesting.  Though I do want to shred certain people to itty bitty pieces.  We have decided to make ourselves unknown to others on it.  We all have fake names that only our teacher knows.  We aren't permitted to find out each other's names. Unfortunately, I have a distinct way of writing and, already, one person knows who I am.  We aren't going to tell though, because if we do, our teacher will..... pretty much flip out and bad things will happen.  I believe the punishment is writing essays for about two weeks using the essay prompts from state testing.  Things like whether we should have uniforms, or cell phones, ect.  Really lame, bane-of-my-existence things.

This Doesn't Deserve a Title

I'm super frustrated with swimming right now. >:|. I am doing exercises to strengthen my back. And my abs are getting much harder. Today was my birthday.... I got some spandex pants to work out in and run in. I also got my letterman jacket.

Freestyle.

So for the past 4-ish years, I have had this weird freestyle. When I started, I used to just kick normally, but there was this other girl on my team who swam faster than me who crossed her legs. Now because I was a little stupid back then, I copied her so I could get faster. I did get faster, but not as fast as I could have gotten I now realize.

Why do I say this? because this crossing my legs thing has been my freestyle... until now. With the new season starting after taking about a month off, I got in the water, and with out realizing it, my freestyle was fixed. No crossing legs. Why is this? I have no idea. But I'm going faster, and I'm super excited for this season now. There is something to be said about taking a little break I think.

First Week of High School Swimming.

Wow. I think high school may kill me. No joke. Dryland is harder than I expected it to be. Thank goodness it's a Friday. I might die if it wasn't. I am so sore. Wall sits passing around a 45 pound weight= not fun. Believe it or not. But it will make me better so I'm giving it all I have. All the girls on the team are so nice... thanks for that! :]] i love it. The End.

First Two Practices

SWIMMING. Yes. It's pretty awesome. Yesterday was the first two practices of the season! I wouldn't have called the morning practice very hard, but about an hour and fifteen minutes into the evening practice I was super tired.  I just wasn't ready to be swimming faster 50's! Not to mention that I decided to swim in the fastest lane.... It was pretty darn intense.  Dryland was killer.  We went hard with the bleachers and the ab work. Sitting against the wall passing along a weight isn't very fun. I thought I was gonna drop it! Oh well. It's good for me. and for Coffee.

TOMORROW!!!

:D     First swim practice of the season tomorrow at 5:30 am. I am so pumped. Last Tuesday was the first dryland of the season. I couldn't walk on Wednesday.... yaa. Pretty much I killed myself. I thought that I had worked fairly hard over the summer to stay in shape and stuff, but I totally slacked off. It's kinda disappointing how icky I felt after our workouts. Tomorrow is gonna be killer, but FUN! oh and um a week from Friday I turn 16. Yup. I'm pretty not pumped for that. If any of my friends say happy birthdate I may just flip out on them and go on and on about how I wish I was 14 again. That was a good year.... This year was dreadful. OH WELL. This swim season is gonna get rocked by Espresso, Coffee, and me. BOOM.
