First Cross Country Meet

OMG! Today was my first Cross Country meet. There were 64 girls in it, and I got 11th! Final time of 15:39. I think that is really good! No one had run this course ever, not even last year, because the park we were supposed to run at is under construction, so we moved to a different park. This one was really nice, because it was mostly flat, no hills, just a few holes and sticks. It was really fun. I love cross country because I love long distance, I enjoy having the quitness when you aren't around the crowd, and the competition. It's amazing. After the race I thought I was gonna puke. I was holding my knees and thinking,

"Oh Dear Lord Please don't let me puke. I'm not in the mood to puke. Oh man I think I am gonna be sick. Thanks."

But luckily, I didn't get sick! I was dying of thirst though. And I also couldn't feel my legs. I thought I was going to fall over. It was a really fun day today though. Well I gotta get going! School is getting pretty tough, but also, I'm getting used to it. Just some large homework assignments. See you later! Thanks for reading!

Cross Country again!

I had cross country again tonight! It was fun. We did 6 laps on Indian Runs (Hard to explain, but that equals 3 miles.) Then we did a lap for time, I dropped 6 seconds from my best! We also did a lap for warmup, leg outs, arm circles, and wall sits. Trust me, I am SORE! I have school tomorrow, and I have to walk around, so this will be fun ;). Anyway, I wasn't very tired tonight. I think I am getting a lot better. Today I also had a pool party :). It was a BLAST! It was my friend's, his name is Hunter. I took 4 videos, and 100 pictures. The friends I have... wow I'm so proud of them :). JK! Hahahaha. Anyway, I'm glad I got to go, it was really fun, even if the boys did attack us with basketballs and stuff! At least we had shields. Haha. I got him 15 dollars. My friend got him a tiara and earrings. (The clip on kind.) It was funny! He wore them too! We also jammed out to music. Well I've got school tomorrow, so I gotta get to bed. Anyway, thanks for reading and have a good school day!

Summertime is over, but I'm a sixth grader!

So probably most people are sad that summertime is over.  But some people might be really excited for school! I am half and half. I miss summer, but sixth grade is amazing. And hard. It's confusing because we are switching classes and carrying all these books around. At least my arms will get stronger! The other hard thing about sixth grade is that our lunch period has changed. Instead of eating lunch at 11:35, we eat at 12:00. And from 11:07 to 11:53 we are in Religion class which is right near the lunch room, so it's like being tortured because you can smell the delicious food. My friend and I actually plugged our nose because it made us so hungry. Some things I love though, are the lockers, and I do enjoy switching classes. The lockers are awesome though. I was worried I wouldn't get a friend for a locker partner, but luckily I got one of my best friends, Rachel!! We are going shopping on Saturday for locker accessories. It's going to be so much fun! Well I'm watching some TV so I think I'm going to get back to watching it. Thanks for reading and enjoy school!

Sketchers

So I've noticed Sketchers copies like any brand of shoe. Ed Hardy, Sanuck, Air Jordan. It's really annoying and a rip-off.  I own a pair of Ed Hardy shoes and the ones Sketchers has are not even close to cool. The REAL Ed Hardys are extremely cool. You know the Sanucks aren't as comfy, or as cool either. I own a pair of Sanucks also, and there is no way that Sketchers can top these shoes. I don't own a pair of Air Jordans, but I can tell they aren't as cool looking. Wouldn't you rather have the real thing, and not some crappy copy? I would. I mean really Sketchers, I like your school shoes and all, but stop trying to copy name brands. It's REALLY annoying. Oh and this is kinda off subject but I want to apologize to my dad. I've been kinda bratty lately, and I don't know what's up. So, I'm sorry. Anyway, back to the subject. Sketchers has some kinda cool tennis shoes, and some really comfy and cool school shoes, but these copies, this is just wrong. This is over the line. The copies are really quite ugly, and it's very uncool to copy. Sanucks are one of the best shoes ever, and I would recommend them. Ed Hardys are really awesome, but only if you're into that punk/rock style. And Air Jordans are really cool if you are a hardcore basketball player. So I would recommend not buying the copies from Sketchers, because if you want to be in style, buying the copies would definitely make you unfashionable. Anyway, thanks for reading!

JO's results... kinda late?

Sorry about not giving you my JO's results! I just realized that when I looked at my recent posts! Well I didn't do too hot, but oh well there was a reason to that. I won't mention it though. I was right on my best time in the 200 free, gained 6 seconds in the IM, and gained 8 seconds in the 400 free. Oh well. Hehe there was kind of a HUGE problem on Thursday night at the hotel. My dad realized that I left my swim bag... at home. So we had to call my friend's mom who was coming up the next day for the meet, so she could meet my Grandpa, so she could get in and get my swim bag. It was quite the night. But on Saturday we went to Six Flags! It was freaking amazing!! I had a blast! The Tornado and the wave pool were my favorite water things. And then my fave roller coaster was The American Eagle. Well I'm gonna get going. Thanks for reading!

New haircut!!

I got a new haircut!! It's so amazingly cute! I had long red hair down past my shoulders and now its forward diagonal and almost to my shoulders. Oh and I have swoopy bangs! It's soo cute. Okay if you know my cell, text me and I will email you a pic because my phone is stupid and won't let me receive or send out pictures at the moment. If you don't, well sorry! :). Anyway, swimming is done for the month, but we start back up in September. My last meet was on Thursday, and it was open water for zones. It was so much fun! A lot of people didn't go because of the algae, but there wasn't any except on the swamp part, but we weren't anywhere close to that when we were swimming. I had a blast with my friends from other teams though. Haha the friends I have :). Anyway, I am kinda excited for school and kinda not. I mean, I'm going into the sixth grade, and I am excited to switch classes, have salad bar, and have lockers. But the worst part about that is... HOMEWORK. Makes me wanna cry right now and I'm not even in school! Haha. Well I'm gonna go, and apologies for not blogging in such a while. I've been a busy bee. I will blog more often, I promise :]. Thanks for reading!
