Eagerly Waiting

Track this week hasn't been very strenuous. Of course, I say that and I'll probably have to run 3 miles tomorrow or something. The main reason we haven't been working too hard is that we're working on field events so I haven't done much running. So far I've worked on shot put(21ish feet so far), hurdles, and discus(40ish feet). All of which I thoroughly enjoy. I'm really glad I tried shot put and discus this year, I never really got to them last year. Anyway, track's been great, and though the first week was pretty tiring, I was/am out of shape, I feel way more exercised already so it's getting easier. We have a mock meet next week which I'm looking forward to, I want to see how I'm doing in comparison with everyone else. And now we have spring break coming in nine days! I CAN'T WAIT!!!! I need a break, not that anything's too stressful or crazy right now, I mean track stress has already gone down a bit. I feel like the exercise I'm getting is really helping my attitude because everything seems pretty good right now. Anyway, I'm super excited for spring break, especially since I'm going to Florida. !!! :D So happy! I LOVE going to my grandparent's place in Florida. Beach sand and sun here I come!! ^_^ Still, nine days to wait.

Rain Come Any Day

I loooooove it when it rains!! Especially with thunder and lightning. Water collecting in puddles, the splash and patter of droplets meeting house and ground, it so absolutely wonderful. Today's little storm also got me out of having a full track practice so that was also nice. Tomorrow we're picking up my grandparents from the airport and that alone is great, but the added bonus is that it turns out I'm gonna leave school a little early and have to miss track for it. Also important, I have a band concert/competition on Saturday. Yay! Anyway, I have quite a bit of work to do which I've yet to start, various tests to study for, math homework, my humanitarian speech and project/model/diarama. So, I better be off now.

We Are Slackers

Well, track today was nice, we had the choice of a 3 and 1/4 mile, a 2 mile no stopping at all, or 1.7ish miles (2800 meters, 7 laps around the track) Of course, I chose the shortest. It was fun, Natalie and I jogged/walked and slacked off. We ran and jogged about 2/3 of the time, but a lot of the time was spent walking and talking. I was not spared any soreness though, I suppose today's exercise added to my sore legs from yesterday was the cause of that because the workout was pretty light. Either way, I had trouble walking up the stairs to shower when I got home. Which reminds me, yesterday and today when I got out of the shower I was confronted with a small black spider fellow. Yesterday it freaked me out and I almost squished the little guy but decided not to, so when I saw it today I wasn't surprised. I shall name him Tiny. I feel kinda bad for the little spider, I mean, he's kind of lost upstairs in my bathroom. Oh well, I've got to go work on my project now. ^_^ Happy St. Patrick's Day!

And So It Continues

Today was the first day of track. I'm tired. Not super super exhausted and sore or anything, but it was a tiring practice. And these first couple of days are supposed to be easier. I'm sooo out of shape, I haven't been very active this year. I'm glad to be running again though. I think. I may have a different frame of mind later this week when practice starts getting a bit tougher. Anyway, I must be off as I'm going to go for a little walk with my mom and Winston, best dog ever to exist this side of ever. (I love my doggie) Also, I'm glad to welcome Laura to, for lack of a better description, our little circle of blogosphere writers. One of us, one of us!

So Much For Rest

I just got back from helping with the play clean up, which involved taking down the stage, organizing bins, cleaning, more organizing, getting rid of stuff, and those sorts of tasks. It was actually quite nice, I enjoy cleaning. But now I need to go get shorts and capris for track, figure out my idea for a project, fill out a cookie dough order form for our school fundraiser, and we were hoping to get to the creative escape pottery painting place this weekend to make something for my grandparents but we don't really have time for it now. This weekend's to-do list has been packed.

Fair Days Will Shine

Today's the last day of the long piratical journey that has been "The Pirates of Penzance" and I'm not going to lie, it's nice to wrap things up. I've really loved doing the play this year, it's been a load of fun, but it's also been a load of work and that's something I'm glad to be done with. I'm hoping the performances go well tonight as they did for the most part yesterday, which I'm sure they will. On another note I'm starting track on Monday which I'm greatly looking forward to. It'll be nice to do some running and get into better shape, plus it seems like a lot of people are doing it this year so I'll be able to spend time with friends. I need to go shopping this weekend for some running shorts and capris tomorrow, maybe some new shoes also because my current pair are getting a bit ragged. Anyway, I'm off to get ready for the performance. I'm not sure about call time, I hope it's at 3:00 because that's when I'll be there by. I guess I'll find out soon.

Super Trouper

Well, it's March, and I still can't wait for this cold weather to go away. :)
So, we've got the play performance coming on Friday the 13th and Saturday the 14th, and the understudy show on Wednesday. I'm really looking forward to it. I think the costumes are going to end up pretty fun and crazy, mainly the pirate garb. Also, we've been having ISTEP testing this week at school, and it has been fairly... boring. Anyway, all I do is eat and sleep and sing... and go to school. For the most part that is. And now I'm off to watch some good old American Idol to mix it up a bit!
