Meet

This weekend I have a meet. Well, tomorrow is the last day. Here's how I've done so far:

Yesterday:

200 IM- Dropped 8 seconds (2 seconds off the JO)

200 Free- Got the JO, and dropped 2 seconds!

Today:

50 free- I don't really know, but I don't like that event.

100 breast- Not sure either

50 fly- Dropped a second

100 back- Right on best time

400 free relay- We dropped 16 seconds and got the JO!

Tomorrow:

100 free

50 breast

100 fly

50 back

400 free relay

I already have my cut in the 400 free, so we didn't stay for that event today. I scratched. I'm happy that I did too, because my best friend was the alternate, and she needed someone to scratch, and my time is faster, so now that I scratched, she gets to swim! I feel really good about that. Hopefully she gets her cut! Anyway, my goal for this year is to stop crying and getting upset after every event. I'm getting better. After my 50 free, I sucked, and I didn't cry. Oh, and in the car ride home, my dad gave me this good parable.

One day during a cold winter, a bird fell into the snow, and was freezing to death. Along came a cow and the bird begged for the cow to help him, so that he didn't die. The cow just ignored him, and took a nice, big, crap on him, and walked away. The next day, a fox came along, and the bird asked him for help. The fox said sure, picked him up, cleaned him off, and ate him.

 Get the moral? Sometimes, your enemies aren't really your enemies, and your friends aren't really there to help. I like that parable. Haha. I'm gonna go wash my hair, so have a nice weekend, and I'll have a short blog tomorrow about my day!
