be my escape
ok so wow
Crew is AMAZINGLY AWESOME!!! i absolutely LOVE it. there are no words!!!
yeah ok so our first incident (ahem.. the hypothermia basically lol) doesn't count haha. but on wednesday we went out again and the weather was GORGEOUS and there was like no current and minimal wind. i mean- just imagine it.... the sun is shining... the weather is hot... and you are sitting in a boat (very very small i may add) that has u about 2 inches away from the water. and there you are.. just cruisin along with a boat full of 8 other ppl.. gliding & flying across the water. sooooo nice!!!
on wednesday, we had co-ed boats (so there were 4 girlies & 4 chicos). that was sweet. hehe
THEN on thursday mrs. o'donnell (the coach) said that the varsity team was thinking about making a 5th boat... and there were two open seats on it for some of us! it was a four boat (only 4 ppl not 8) and 2 of the ppl are more experienced. so we had an erg 'test' thing and i killed myself because i wanted one of those seats more than u know lol. so then she said to check the board today to see if we would go... annnd... I MADE IT!!!! WOOOOHOOOOOOOO :D :D :D :D :D i was thrilled
i'm not like permanently on varsity- i mean its my first year EVER rowing.. but i think i might be going up for some races when thet want the 5th boat :D
so today we went out in the 4 person boat! it was me, elizabeth, steph, and jenny, plus kenzie as the cox. it was BEYOND sweet. everyone was saying how me & liz were doing amazingly well for only our second time on the water. eeeeee!!
and tomorrow mrs. o'donnell wants me to be STROKE SEAT!!! aka- the person in the front of the boat setting the stroke rate!!!! YAYYYYYYYYYYY
sorry if this all sounds like gibberish to u guys but i am so completely beyond excited right now- its amazing.
ok. enough about the new love i have found aka crew...
there hasnt been much going on except taking 2 tests today and having a humungous test on monday which i am pretty much GOING TO FAIL like without a doubt.
the sophomores are going to hartford on sunday to see othello. that should be cool i guess.. but it takes up sunday :-(. BUT we dont have english on monday mornin so i guess it evens out...?? lol
ok well seeing as i have like negative time to do homework this weekend, i think i should be a good kid and start it! go me! hehehe

oh yeah and i was the shortest person on my boat today.... yeah who ever thought that 5'8" would be SHORT!?? jenny is 5'11, and liz & steph are 5'9. ((but laurel on the vball team is 6'2 so she wins lol)).
