States was actually quite fun...We left Friday during second period to ride the bus to Orlando, where we were stopping to eat, then to Tampa. That way the trip is broken up into two halves. Somehow, Hadley and I got surrounded by boys, and Paul stole my blanket and pillow. Olive Garden, where do we always go to eat? lol, was pretty neat too. Maggie stuck a breadstick on Laura's straw and then she didn't realize until she tried to sip it. Then we gave presents! Which were all really neat and creative. Thanks guys! After that, everyone watched Anchorman, funny funny movie if you have yet to see it, only Maggie and Katie and I stayed up til 12 am to watch it, though. We finished it the next day. Well, we woke up Saturday morning, our race is at 9 pm, and we jogged a bit and ate breakfast. Then, we attemped to do team stretching, but that didn't go over too well...haha. We ended up seeing 'Shall we Dance?' at 12:35 until about 2. It was an okay movie. I went to the bathroom four times. :) It inspired me to be a ballroom dancer when I grow up...jk y'all! So, anyways, then we ate our power bars and whatever and wow we started to get focused and junk. We went to the state course, and it felt so awesome. The lights were blazing and everything. It felt amazing. Before we know it, it's time to race, so we go get our stuff (After watching Jenny Barringer from 4A run a 17:08 5k) and see Holy Trinity there also because they had the box right next to us. There was a bit of tension between Maggie and Kayla, because they were basically 'racing eachother' if you know what I mean. So the gun goes off, and Hailey (Mercer) flies to the front, and I follow, but I'm actually leading. Our first mile was 5:30! And, yeah I'm tired and I still have to write a bibliography for a History paper...I hate those things more than the actual paper itself. I'll add on this later, I haven't gotten to the best part of the night yet, when Hadley and I literally dragged and threw Paul out of our hotel room! xo <3
