so this year. swimming was....awesome. at first i was skeptical, like really.. how was this new guy going to be? i missed coach downs. but then carrie came over, and told me i was gonna be fast. and to go swim with the fast kids. so i did. and things looked up from there. i was making friends on the team, it was sooo fun. then school started and we bonded after school all the time. bryn and i became "butt buddies", i met all the freshmen and my dream of being a role model came true. but i just couldnt' seem to swim very fast. so steph had a talk with me, to make me like siwmmin again, and although i still wasn't swimming that fast, i was having an amazing time. like i can't even explain, i looked forward to practice as opposed to last year when i sat on the blocks holding back tears daily. then at lasher and pioneer meets i started simming fast, and i thought that maybe just maybe my goal might be attainable, it might jsut happen, i was gonna go to state meet. but when i told people, they were kinda lik e"ooook kels, if you think so..." so then came today. i had a good 50 and i felt like i was gonna get it. like I FELT IT. so i went up there and went 56.37, missed it by fucking .18 of second, and it only got worse from there. but in the overall picture of my season, its almost like that doens't matter. first of all, i didn't swim at counties, didn't swim at misca, and then only missed a state cut by .18! thats amazing. but most importantly, i fell in love with swimming all over again. so thank you. thank you jill, caley, va, hisami, megan, and sarah for being the coolest freshmen ever. thank you jenn, danielle, annie, and my butt buddie for proving that maggots can do it to, thank you meg, caryn, mara, kara, and elena for encouraging me every day. thank you liz for always making me smile. tahnks you kathy for being amazing and for your brother and the most amazing homecoming of my life. and thank you katie, for being rock solid, for proving that being supportive and dedicated is waht really counts.

so overall swimming was good. and i am determined to not miss that state cut next year. thanks girls. it was amazing.
peace out girl scout
p.s. thank you everyone that came to watch today and sorry megan for making you late to babysitting
