this past week was a good one, i'd say.
on monday after practice kendall and i went to talk to palumbo because i wanted to be put in the 500 again. he basically discouraged me from doing it because he kept going on and on about how it's not an event to be swum because you want to swim it and that it needs to be swum at a good pace, blah blah blah he has lots of people who want to swim it, blah blah blah. i was so pissed.
sooo on tuesday we had our meet against wall-tech. he put me in the 500 :D and i KICKED ASS. seriously. i came in second, which was so freaking exciting. i had no idea until i finished. okay, i had a slight clue when i couldn't see anyone ahead of me, but yeah. i was in our last place lane and i beat kendall and kristina by 15 seconds at the very least. sammy was so cute and excited about it, and so was cole, patch said, "where the hell did you come from?", stafford congratulated me, jemila told kelly that no one understood how big a deal that was for me to do, john said that we won the meet because i came in second, haha, jamie was so excited for me, palumbo was... palumbo... everyone made me feel so awesome about it. after the meet jamie called me "our 500 swimmer." that made the meet good enough, and then WE BEAT THEM. yes, the girls WON A MEET. WE WONNNNN!!! so exciting. we won the first meet in 7 years, in the history of the team! yayyyy!! yay.
after school on wednesday erin and i went to the mall so i could buy christmas presents for my mom from my dad. we had fun. ray and i went early to the concert so we could exchange presents and he gave me a ring that i looove... i'll post a picture sometime. tomorrow. maybe. i looove this ring, and i hope he likes the watch i gave him. katie gave me a target giftcard, which was so cute, lol, because she knows i love target. erin made me an awesome scrapbook for my birthday and gave me cute stuff for christmas too. anyway. our concert went very well. i think we did a good job and i liked all of our songs [especially christmas music for winds]. hmm. T liked the gift we got him, so that's good. i love concerts.
thank you to ray, erin, april, lynea, vanessa, katie, stace, kate, lauren, and colleen for the gifts! <333
thursday was a good day. the assemblies were fun, although the junior/senior one was really loud and disrespectful to the band. [thanks for sticking up for us, megan!] all the student council gifts to the teachers were funny, as usual, but i think mr. nick's short shorts and short t-shirt [mocking his, "the pants keep going down and the shirts keep going up!" quote] were the funniest. oh, and will anyone ever forget lev saying, "hey santa, stop moving around - i'm on viagra!"?!?! hahah. the rest of the day was very worthless, but fine. i zoned out a lot after school and it felt good. later that night i went to ray's for a party. we had a good time, yay. there were so many people there too, it was crazyyyy. we didn't leave until around 1 because we wanted to finish dodgeball... oops.
today i slept until 12:15, eew. i never do that. gross. after i showered and got ready i went to stanlick with my dad to practice parallel parking and k-turns. i did really well and i don't think i have anything to worry about. later on we went to my mom's cousin's to celebrate christmas eve with everyone. that was a fun time, like always. i love my family. :D
tomorrow is my birthday! and christmas... i agree with kate; this year went so fast. i can't believe i'm almost 17. eew. a little less than 8 hours and i'll officially be 17. that is so weird.
merry christmas, everyone!
