STATE!!!

Ahhhhhh! Track is going great! At this big invitational I did FANTASTIC. I was really happy.(: At sectionals I did REALLY REALLY REALLY good too!! Our whole team did! It was a lot of fun. I got second overall in the mile at sectionals, and beat my PR by 13 seconds. I would've run the 800, but, short version of the story, my ankle was sore after my race and when I was resting it, this little kid stepped on it and twisted it. So I scratched the 800, and just ran the 4x4 at the end. We did pretty good in that. I'm going to state tomorrow (I get to leave school at 11:30... YAY![:) and so are a bunch of my friends. Two other girls are running tomorrow, but the whole track team (that made it to state) is coming with us to cheer us on. My two other friends that, sadly, didn't make it to state, are leaving school at like 1:45 to make it in time to watch us. They're taking another friend of mine that doesn't run track, with. The track is only like 2 miles away, but the ride could take an hour to an hour and a half!! How? There's THOUSANDS of kids in it, so there is going to be a MAJOR traffic jam!! Aghh! Anyway, I'm super excited for tomorrow, I've never gone to state before!! I should go... I'm getting thirsty... :D

Track meet!!(:

Today, we had a track meet. I had three events, and I did good in all of them! My first race was the 400, and I dropped 4 seconds from Monday's meet. My second race was the 800 and I got my PR. My last race was a relay, which was, and I'm serious, 2 minutes after my 800. We got 3rd place in the relay, I got second in my individual events! I also got to see my cousin for the second time this week!(:

The track meet was a lotta fun though. And today, I also got to be secretary for a day! So all day I didn't have to do any school work, I just had to run around the school a BUNCH delivering stuff to teachers. I also got to answer the phone, and go over the intercom if someone from a class needed to come down to the office to get something. It was a blast! :)

Anyway, I'm eating Spaghetti-O's and I'm scared I'm gonna spill 'em on my laptop, 'cause you know me, a klutz.(;

Thanks for reading!(:

WOW!

Wow! I haven't posted in forever! I didn't even realize it, sorry! How was everyone's Easter? Mine was really fun, and I got lots of candy! YUM! Anyway, it's really nice out. The weather is beautiful. I love it!

Yesterday, I had a track meet. It was a bunch of fun! It was just relays, but we had relays you don't usually get to run. I ran the 4x100, the 1600 medley, and the 4x200 coed. We did really good on the 4x100, and on the 1600 too. I had to run an 800 on that! On the 4x200, we were in second place, and this boy was in front of me. I knew I had to get us in first, so I just took off with everything I had since it was the last race of the day. I caught up, and then passed him, handed off the baton to this boy named Tre, and we ended up winning! It was really fun! Right after that, I immediately went to swim practice. I was an hour late, but trust me, after a long and hard track meet, it was tough to swim! I was extremely tired, I could barely move my arms on the 125's fly! Anyway, my spring break has been FANTASTIC. It ends on Sunday though :(. I do not wanna go back to school! But at least I have something to look forward too. Every year after spring break, school flies by and before you know it, it's the last day! So hopefully it flies by extra quick this year! :). Thanks for reading, I hope you had a great Easter!

Virus!

Uh oh! This is a heads-up for all you Facebookers! Facebook, as most of you know, is the number one social networking site. Facebook is also, my favorite website of all time :). A virus is going around on Facebook, so watch out! Do not join any groups with similar names to this one: Change the color of your profile!

Learn how to type upside down!

Add music to your profile

Any other group or fan pages are okay, but these are not. These are how viruses get into your computer. They want you to do all this stupid stuff, and then it turns out, (as always) it doesn't work. If you have a Mac, you are safe, we are immune. If you have a PC or Dell, I would be careful and watch what you are joining and becoming a fan of. Also, remove friends who have the virus. Yes, it's not a fun thing to do, just explain what you're doing before you do it. One of my friends had a virus, and she kept sending me all these links to youtube and stuff. I asked my other friends that were also friends with her if they got them, and they said yes. I removed her, and she made a new Facebook, but that one was hacked and a virus entered it also. She removed herself completely from Facebook, and is only on Myspace.

If you get the virus, I would recommend doing what she did. Make a new page. If that also gets hacked, then you should join a different social networking site, but I would not recommend Myspace. Get AIM, or Skype, or Yahoo Messenger.

This is just a heads-up, there is no guarantee you will or will not get the virus! Hope this helps!

JO's!(:

Alrighty, so JO's was last Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Let me tell you, it was a BLAST! One of the funnest meets I've been to! On Friday I dropped in my 200 free, and on Saturday our relay did pretty well. But lemme tell you, my individual race, not so much. I gained six seconds, and got dead last! Woooh! Hahaha. But Sunday, I was in the championship heat for both of my events, so I scratched the 100 free in the morning so I could sleep in. I got to go in the ready room and stretch and talk with my friends from other teams, and then we paraded out while they played "We Will Rock You". I practically got my same time in the 500, so that's pretty good. Our relay was ranked sixth, and we were hoping to place, but we got seventh. We still dropped though, which is always good! We did notice though, that the relay next to us, put either vaseline or oil on them. Their skin looked awfully shiny, so when I "accidentally" brushed by them, whatever they had on their skin went on mine! They cheated! I HATE CHEATERS. Whatever, if they have to cheat to win, they aren't winners. :) Overall it was a really fun and good meet.

Well that's all for now, thanks for reading!

Seniors!(:

Heyy! Sorry I haven't blogged in a while. Very busy. A lot of meets, huge projects, oh the life of a student!/:. Anyway, Thursday I headed up to Chicago for Seniors!! It was a blast! The first time ever, it was so much fun! Only five of us there, but it was Thursday and a lot of people didn't swim the long distance. I didn't taper for Seniors, I was tapering for JO's. So yeah, my time stayed the same. But overall the meet was very very very veryx10000000000 fun!(:.

Oh and lemme give you a quick update on regionals. I got a best time in everything except the last event of the whole weekend, the 200 free. Let's see. My friends and I had a blast. Lots of pictures. Some cool ones of us underwater too! I got to hang out with some people I don't get to see a whole lot. Oh and did I mention, I had a blast?!!! Here's what I got, places wise. 5th, 2nd, 2nd, 1st, 4th, 3rd, 6th, 4th, 1st. The only reason I know this is because I have my medals in my lap(:. All my friends did great! They all got on the podium at least once, and a couple of the times they won! It was great!! Well, thanks for reading, see ya later!

These are TOTALLY different things

Okay, so today's blog is going to be a little... random.(:

When you are texting someone and you ask, "what's up?", they might say how they feel, or maybe what they are doing. A lot of the time they say nothing. When you ask, "whatcha doing?" they answer completely differently. They tell you WHAT they are doing, and why. If you are asked either of these questions, make sure you answer them correctly. I ask people those questions while IMing or texting, and they give me the same answer as they did to the first question. (If i ask them what's up they say nothing, if I ask them whatcha doing, they say nothing.)

MAKE SURE you don't get these confused. This is one of my biggest "texting" pet peeves. I ask two completely different questions and get the same, dull answer.

Yeah, this blog was completely random, but I was texting someone and they gave me the same answers, so that made me think of a good blog to write(:.

Well today I'm going to see a movie with a bunch of my school friends! I'm really excited! I probably should go eat breakfast, and take a shower, so bye! Thanks for reading!

Indy!!

Over the weekend was Indy, which was a pretty good meet. I got a new zone cut in my 500 free, and dropped a lil' bit in m 100 back. I gained 5 seconds in my 200 IM, but for the other events I only gained half a second, at the most. So yeah, I pretty much just stayed the same, which I think is good. I had a lot of fun at the meet. I also love Indy, because I love the pool. At the hotel on Saturday night, I hung out with all my friends, except my little brother, Victoria (inside joke) because we couldn't find him. Since the lobby was under construction, we got to hang out in room 333, and we played an intense game of truth or dare. (If you were there, you know what I'm talking about;].) Anyway, it was a blast just hanging out with all my friends over the weekend, I can't wait for the next meet! If you are reading this, and you were at the meet, good job!! Oh and if you're reading this and you were playing truth or dare, then... remember when we all hid on top of the fridge so Jordan couldn't touch our nose? Good times... (don't ask). Well, that's pretty much all I have to say... I will just talk to ya later!!

Update/Lovely Bones

So here is a quick update before I tell you about Lovely Bones, the movie I REALLY want to see.

I had a meet over the weekend and I did GREAT! I finally broke a minute in my 100 free, and got the JO cut. I also got the JO cut in the 200 IM, and the senior cut in the mile! I am so happy! Anyway, enough about me, let's cut to the movie!

How many of you want to see the new movie Lovely Bones? I think it comes out tomorrow. Not sure though. I am going to BEG my mom to let me see it with some friends. It looks so good! It's about a 14 year old girl, who was raped and murdered. She has to try and come back for her parents who need her. Her father is trying to solve the murder too. It just looks so interesting! I saw the preview and right away I wanted to see it. Maybe I can see it on Monday. I'll convince my mommy. If any of you know me, I'm a good convincer. :D

Well, I am really craving a soda, so I think I'm gonna go! Thanks for reading!

Winter Break

For most people, winter break is practically over. There's not even a day left, and most kids are lounging around not looking forward for tomorrow. All the kids on the internet are commenting and "disliking" statuses on Facebook that mention school, or Tweeting about how they refuse to go back. I agree, I really do not want to go back. School is boring, and there is way too much work! I am really happy though, because the first week I go back, I don't even go a full week! I have to miss Friday for a swim-meet! Yay for me! Winter break was amazing for me though. My cousins from Texas came and visited on Tuesday, but they left yesterday. I went sledding a lot, it was a blast! Swimming was fun too. More time to spend with my friends from the pool! :]. I also had a GREAT Christmas. I got everything I wanted, and more! It was the best! Comment and tell me everything (or most) of what you got for Christmas, and how your winter-break was! Also tell me what some of your New Year's Resolutions are! I'm not sure about mine yet, but I should have them soon! Thanks for reading, and Happy New Year!

Horror Movie

So last week, a few of my friends and I made a horror movie. It was pretty funny, not very horrorish. Here's the whole movie, shortened, less details, you get the point =].

Us "teenagers" are coming home from a night of partying for our friend's (named Emily) birthday party. She walks into the garage, and when we are walking away we hear screaming, choking noises, and then a yelp. Two of our friends goes in to see what is going on and we hear those same noises. Then out of no where, Emily pops out, with blood on her face and a bloody jump rope around her neck, and says:

I've eaten your friends, and I will eat you too.

She starts to chase us and we quickly run, but I (state champion soccer play, Kristen) don't realize we are running and get a late start, and I am the next victim of the attack. After the last two girls get away, they run into the backyard and into the AppleSlice Cabin. One of the victims' head is in the window of the cabin, and then the IT (Emily) appears. Then the movie ends, and we have credits and a little explanation of what happened after the movie ended.

It was freezing cold outside, but it was a blast. We are making another one in the summer, called, The IT returns. I can't wait! Thanks for reading and STAY WARM!

Will we be ready?

My dad did some math, and gave me his results. Keep reading to find out.

Between now and the next meet (in January) we will have 40 practices at least 6500 yards each for a total of 260,000 yards. We will do around 10,000 turns, and 1,00 block starts. That is over 150 miles of swimming. We will burn 30,000 calories in the water. Will we be ready in January? You decide.

Our practices are intense, and we don't slack or skip, we shut up and swim. Try and mess around in our practices, our coach may let you, he says you only hurt yourself (as in getting slower, not actually spraining an ankle or anything). Wanna mess around during a long set? Go ahead, be my guest, I just can't wait to see your reaction at the next meet! I am pumped up for these doubles, during Christmas break. It will be tough, and I will probably eat so much my family will puke just from watching me, but whatever. =]. Anyway, I hope you have a good weekend, and thanks for reading! (Oh, and please comment, and give me your opinion on this! Will we be ready? Yes or no, why or why not? Thanks!)

Calories

Wow, I am so sorry I haven't blogged in SUCH a long time. Junior high is hard, and we have a lot of projects. Anyway, today's blog is about how many calories I ate in one day. This is about the size of food I eat in a day, so it's not like I just pigged out to make it look like I eat a lot. I wrote down everything I ate on a Saturday, and I got a lot of calories, which is good, because I need a lot to build muscle, since I burn at least 2400 every day. Here is what I had:

BREAKFAST: 2 Poptarts, 1 pkg mini muffins, 2 hard boiled eggs.

LUNCH and DINNER: 1 hotdog, 1 brownie, bag of puppy chow, 2 suckers, 2 hersey mini, turkey sub, 8 hard boiled eggs, 2 cups butter popcorn.

DRINKS: Cup of OJ, Cup of Gatorade, 2 Cokes, 1 water, 1 vanilla milk, 1 hydrive.

All together that equals 3550 calories. Isn't that kinda cool? I mean, where do I fit all this? I never feel stuffed either. The first time I felt stuffed in a long time was yesterday! Ha. Anyway, I've gotta go. Gotta get ready for swim practice! Thanks for reading, hope you have a great Black Friday! =]

Swim meet! :D

Today I had a swim meet! I went to practice this morning, then at around 1:00 I left for the meet. It was just me and this boy named Alex from my team, but I dropped 10 seconds in my 1000. My cap started to creep off at about 750, and by 900, it was off! My goggles then started to fill up with water, but I all out sprinted so I could finish. I had a killer cramp, but I dropped time and got the zone. I was really close to the record for my team, so I'm hoping to get that next time. I had a really fun time though. I got to see all my friends from the other teams, and hang out with them like I was part of their team. Lemme tell you, those girls and boys are pretty wild... you know exactly who you are :)

Anyway, I was glad I went. My friend, Jake, counted for me for most of it, and then Alex's mom took over because he was in the next heat with Alex. Yeah, for the long distance the heats went girls, boys, girls, boys. Fastest to slowest. I was in the first heat, which meant I was the fastest of the girls. Well, I am pretty exhausted, so I better get some sleep. I have Church tomorrow, then chilling out, then off to swim practice!
