At Least It Didn't Vaporize

Oww. Having spent the past two days at the beach for very long periods of time I somehow have a triangle of red red sunburn on one shoulder, a stripe of it on the other, and some not-too-bad sunburn all around the chest. Ouchee. I've looked up some sunburn remedies and after much investigating I've decided to dab tea on the burn as suggested by numerous sites. So far it has helped a little. I hope everyone is enjoying their vacations as I am! ;) Florida is nice, is it raining much in Indy? I'm very full of crackers and peanut butter, and chips with guacamole. And now I'm off to reaply my tea.

Splendiferous

Yaaaaay! Yay Yay Yay! Leaving in an hour for the airport! Yay! Soon I'll be in Florida! Wooh! But not only that, I've accomplished something extremely important to me today, be proud! Also, I love thunderstorms, it rained pretty hard last night and it was fabulous! Anyway, I have to go get my shoes packed and get ready to go. I hope you all have a great Spring Break!

Must Get Cookies

Yesss, so very close we are! Only tomorrow left, then SPRING BREAK! And track is optional so I'm probably not going to go, I'm lazy. On Monday we did the mock meet running. I ran the 100, 200, and hurdles. I feel like I probably could have done a bit better on each of them, but it has me looking forward to the rest of the season. We got our uniforms yesterday, and I got a nice newish red one. Joy! I didn't enjoy having to wear the old faded uniforms last year. Today we did field events and obviously I tried the discus. It went okay, but I have a lot to work on. I'm not all that good at it(or at least not as good as a lot of other people who did discus) but Mr. Carter(spanish teacher Mr. C obviously) really seems to think I can improve. I think I can do better too, I guess, but it seemed like my throws were just getting worse today. Anyway, on another note, I love cream cheese on bagels, and storebought cookies with the thin hardish icing on them, like the ones from Kroger. I also love chocolate milk, and cheese with crackers. Sorry, I've been eating a lot lately, and I'm craving food right now. And I can't get my mind off spring break! So close! I just absolutely cannot wait! Yay!

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!
