Well Preseason is winding down and it's back to school on friday. To tell u the truth I can't wait. My schedule doesnt look half bad considering I'm taking six classes, but thats gonna be a bitch this year seeing as its junior year and im used to always having only five classes. So anyway, preseason wasn't bad. We have a lot of new guys this year and all of them are decent swimmers and one is better than decent (konrad goes a 50 in the 100 fr). Hopefully we will have a good season. Mr. Currie seems like a good coach who will take us far, but I have to admit I wish Simmie were back. Mr. Currie is a very 'back to basics' kinda coach, and his motivational yelling makes me want to bite his head off. "I know your tired! But the question is.. what are u gonna do about that?! Nows the time! Be all that u can be!"-- its out of control and makes me laugh more than it inspires me. This morning we had our last morning practice adn probably our last major conditioning/swimming practice. We did a bunch of 100's a couple 200's and way too many sprints, but I have to admit I was beginning to feel in shape again. Todays afternoon practice on the other hand, sucked. We warmed up with like a straight 30 min. easy swim which was the most worthless thing ever and wasted precious polo time. And then when we brought out the balls my perimeter shooting was as shitty as ever. Hopefully it was just a bad day. My defense has been kickass and my drives are ok, so once the shooting clicks I'll be golden. Well I think that's enough for one night. I need to finish my summer reading and I have to get up early tomorrow to lead some discussion groups for new Choate students. That should be fun. I'm out ~like a boner in a speedo~
