(no subject)
I had a good weekend. I didn't have classes on friday so I went home for a bit after fencing in the morning. Mom and I went out for lunch. Then she had to go to work and I cleaned out my car and vacuumed it. I was gonna wash the outside but Audra called and wanted to hang out so I came back to Billerica and we went to the mall so she could get some sneakers.
The rest of the weekend was junior sectionals. A few minor breakdowns but everything worked out pretty well. First minor breakdown was after my pools on saturday where I was 2 and 3 and seated 22 out of 37 people afterwards. At that point I pretty much realized that I was fencing really shitty and there's no way I'll qualify. It even turns out everyone else was doubting me at that time too. I got a bye in the 64 and then fenced Emi Seaman in the 32. She pretty much sucked so I beat her up no problem. I fenced McAdam in the 16. She had beat me earlier in pools so at least I knew some of what she was doing. I basically won by being patient, keeping the distance big and keeping my hand low. We went all the way to the 3rd period and she started rushing since she was losing and I made easy work of her. I had complete control of the bout the entire time. I fenced Sam Fronz in the 8. I was in complete control of that bout too. She had no idea what to do. In the 4 I fenced hillary. I lost 15-11 because...well I'm not too sure why. I guess I kinda let her push me around but I was trying to fight. So that's kinda embarrassing...losing to Hilary. Apparently i'm out of the family now because the one thing people told me before today was that I cant lose to Hilary. Oh well. She ended up winning. Bronze and qualifying isn't so bad for me anyways. Probably one of my best results ever atleast.
We went out to the brewery pub after and the red sox won. speaking of which...yankees tonight. Should be a good time.
Sunday I just helped out the cause. Ran a few tables for Wayne and got bitched at by a bunch of russians. I was gonna run the pool of 8 for cadet women's epee but none of the referees were listening to me and they were just treating me like a retard. It's not like i've never run a big pool before...bitches. whatever. So the tournament actually went really well.
I've got so much work to do in the next couple weeks...urgh. I should probably get started with that.
