it's been quite a while since my last message so i guess i'll get people caught up here. i took swimming lessons the past 2 weeks and the last day is tomorrow. i had to swim the 500 today (4 laps of front crawl, 4 laps of back crawl, 2 laps of breast stroke, 2 laps of sidestroke, 2 laps of butterfly, and 4 laps of whatever we wanted) which is done continuously and that was very tiring. and then we had to do a survival float for 5 minutes and float on our backs for 5 minutes. and then after 45 minutes of lessons, it was off to work from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm.
and that was pretty ordinary as usual. nothing new to report really. last thursday i got a shirt to wear that says i'm a staff member. so that's neat. i work thursdays now from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm and again on saturdays for the usual 9:00 am to 3:00 pm session. and then after that, around 3:00pm, i went to the pool.
but before today, a lot has happened since the last day of school. the week after school let out, on thursday, i went over to kristin's to hang out and swim and stuff with justin and laura. that was a blast. and then i believe the week after that, on friday night, there was a pool party across the street at moss springs. kristin went along with me and we had a fun time but there was hardly anyone there! in the meantime, laura was away on a cruise. anyways, the following monday (which was the monday of this week) i went back to kristin's house with justin and laura and we had a great time as well. so that's just the main events of the past few weeks.
well today another cruical decision has been made. i have completely changed my mind about field band and i want to join now, i just pray it isn't too late! i mean all of a sudden, i want a challenge. the challenge i have set upon myself is to join field band, surivive band camp, maintain a straight 4.0 on my report card this coming year, and enjoy it. on top of that will be mountains of homework and school projects because i have the harder subjects the first semester and that's when field band takes place. oh lord. lol. i will be pushing myself to the max if i do this. but in spite of all the obstacles, i really hope i can sign up!
