Yesterday, I went to work out and swim laps at the pool with Sam and Logan. It was pretty intense. Once we got done, I felt pretty hardcore. :) I'm not as sore as I was last time. It might be because this time, we actually stretched like smart people before we started. :P
I really want to go to the ocean. Or Africa. Either one would be really cool. I've been to the ocean before, when I went to Florida as a kid, but I've never been to Africa. I want to see elephants and giraffes and kangaroos.
I took like a 4 hour nap today. I was so tired. I'm not sure why. I got enough sleep last night. I guess I was just really worn out.
I think that this summer, after graduation, I might go and spend a month in Kansas with my mom's side of the family. I have nothing else to do, so...why not? :)

Feel the Rain.
I have a tendency to try to keep people happy, even if it means that I suffer.
But for the first time in a while, I made a decision to do something for myself. Something to make myself happy. It means I have to give something up...something that means a whole lot to me. But it also means that a lot more doors will be opened.
Yesterday, I went swimming with Sam. I taught her how to do the freestyle stroke and the butterfly. We swam laps. Lots of laps. I didn't realize how much endurance and strength I have lost since I left swim team. I was kind of upset at myself, honestly. I couldn't even swim half the number of laps I used to be able to. And I got sore a whole lot faster. I'm still sore today. :( But I'm not gonna just quit. I'm going to build my muscles and my endurance up again.
Swimming helped cheer me up yesterday. I wasn't in the best mood when I went... but I guess it was just something about being back in the water that cheered me up. I was completely at peace. I didn't have a single worry on my mind. It was nice. :)
I really love lemonade. And music. And animals. I realized the other day that kangaroos are really cute. And I decided that I want one. I would name him Lars.

GAH.
I've had a bad day. Actually...I've had a bad weekend (except for All-Region, which was pretty freaking awesome). And it just keeps getting worse. I'm pretty sure I've lost something amazing that I just got back. And it kills me. I ALWAYS seem to mess up the things that mean the most to me. I wish I wasn't so...gah. I'm not even sure what to think right now. I'm so frustrated. I actually tried to sleep all day so I wouldn't have to think. Then...at 2, I couldn't fall back asleep. :(
Every night...I thank God for what he has given me. I have been so happy lately. And I thank him for this third chance that he gave me. And I pray that it will work out. And that I don't mess everything up. I mean...isn't the third time supposed to be a charm? Maybe not. Maybe everything good ends in heartache. It always has for me. Why would I be silly enough to think that maybe this time it wouldn't?
Good thing is...I'm so used to this that I'm kinda numb right now. When I go to bed I'll start feeling it though. I know how this goes. It SUCKS. I just wish I had my puppy to make me feel better. I'll be ok though. I always am.

Today was a good day. :)
Soo...I finished the 30 Day Challenge.
I guess now I just talk. :P
Well...this weekend we had All-Region tryouts. I was hoping for a tryout somewhere in the middle. But what number did I get? THREE. Out of 109. I was number three. That pretty much freaked me out, and I got soo nervous that I didn't do as well as I could have. Waiting for the results, I got so nervous that I got a headache. That has never happened to me. It was kinda weird. But when the results were posted, I found out that I made 1st band, 16th chair, and I qualify to tryout for All-State. THANK GOODNESS. But anyway... All-Region clinic is this Friday. I'm super pumped to get to hang out with all my friends and do what I love most...make music. :)
On another note, my 2 snow days were pretty awesome. I sat at home and played Fable 3, because I'm a geek. And now this geek is about to go play some Halo Reach with Daniel. :)

Last Days of the 30 Day Challenge That Actually Took 3 Months.
Day 28: Something That Stresses You Out
Ummm...School, of course.
The fact that I don't have my license. Or a permit.
Day 29: 3 Wishes
Wish 1: That I'll be successful.
Wish 2: That I'll be happy.
Wish 3: It's a secret.
Day 30: A Picture
