holy cow, what a semester!!! started off with coming home from Jax and hittin' the books right away. I took Communications 2, Spanish 2, and Chemistry. doesnt sound like much, huh? well, i stayed VERY busy.
my starting time for the 50 free was about 30 seconds. Tash surprised myself, AJ and Sammi in the locker room one day at practice telling us in front of everyone that we were officially team captains. surprise surprise!!
in September when i turned 18, the piece of advice that i will forever hold in my heart was contained in a card from Mr. Todd Moseley: "do at least one thing every day that makes others say 'dude, you're crazy!'"
September 8th (the dmonday before, i skipped swim practice to go surfing..but i showed up to pick up Lydia and Sarah at the pool after practice. whoops) i was assigned my first 500 in a race. i finished with 7:03....3 seconds off of varsity time. not bad!! that was also the day that Amanda and i came up with "exercise faster!" on sept 18th, i had 070707 miles on my truck. Sept 24th i dropped 0.5 seconds in all of my events at the invitational in Port Orange. That's also the day that Seth was supposed to get me really mad so i'd swim faster. he didn't.
October 4th was my last dual meet. We swam, we got very cold, but we won. Oct 7th, i went to youthquake with a wonderful bunch of people from Jax and had a sisters-sleepover at Reghans <3 Girls team won second, and the boys first at Cape Coast Conference on Oct 14th. That was also the day that i went to Conference and Taco City, came home for a few hours, being called every 15-20 minutes, and then went to the movies with Kristin and Seth..and almost fell asleep there. haha! October 27th i got a piercing in my foot. I was hanging my bag up in the shed and my heel hit a rusty earring. that's definitely something ill never live down...Oct 29th was districts at Sebastian River's pool. it was rainy and cold and miserable. and swimming twice about killed me.
November 5th was districts. Amanda and i drove out together with her mom...."drive diligently!" haha! i experienced the insaane pain of a fast suit. November 6th i cried because we didnt make it to state because of less than one second. on 11-11-11, i slept the whooole day, and was extremely sick. My professor for Comm2 died, and everything was a disaster there for a few weeks of this month trying to keep myself healthy, swim, make progress at meets and staying up to date with school. not to mention everyythingg with Seth that i went through
December came upon us and it really freaked me out. December 12th i dyed my hair. the 13th, we went to Disney with Amy and all the kids. on the 20th at about 6pm my whooooole life changed forever in a little room in Port Orange. the 21st i spent the whole day flipping out. Christmas day was delightful, talking to my uncle and aunt. the cold weather towards the end of this month kept me from swimming. on New Years Eve i was with Kristin in Daytona Beach. we were going to pull an all-nighter, but then fell asleep at 1am.
and now it's the 3rd of January. 6 more days of testing Seth and his games. we'll see how all THAT pans out.
lots of life-drama. i only highlighted the good things, and just a few of the bitter...though the bitter was more prominent this semester. im glad it's over.
I will debrief this next semester and include graduation and such, end of May. for now, farewell, and wish me luck!!
