a new feeling
Practice today was GREAT. Like I don’t even know why but I felt so amazing… it was like euphoria almost LOL but by the eighth and ninth swim, I didn’t feel so awesome anymore (lactic acid sucks) but I was proud of myself today. I was so exhausted after practice that I went to Vons and bought a quart of chocolate milk and just downed it in my car in the parking lot LOL and now I...

i forgot the point of this post :(
I was planning on writing a post about this weekend’s swim meet but I’m way too lazy LOL. To sum it up, it was a good meet for racing, bad for times, and fun to a certain extent. It was long as hell, but enjoyable making it bearable.
I went 1:10 today which was good and what I was aiming for.
I’m also sunburnt and way darker…not cool! And I have punishment butterfly...
OMG TUMBLR IS DEAD RIGHT NOW

quick updates
Man…I haven’t blogged in FOREVER. I really have no time to do so (stupid swim meet) so I’ll catch up Sunday night.
But quick updates- been at swim meet all day for the last three days, last day tomorrow. Results were okay-all things considered, but holistically bad. But it’s understandable considering the timing of the season, and my week long break from training for...

Today’s swim meet was bad and good at the same time. Good all things considered, but bad in general. But it’s all good!
I’ll blog more later since I have to sleep right now…waking up at 6 AM tomorrow for day 2 :(
Goodnight!

Summer is going by pretty fast. And it’s cool because I lose track of time and like the dates and stuff…meaning that that doesn’t matter! LOL It’s still pretty busy though especially for summer.
I just hope that by the end of this summer vacation, I’ll have accomplished the things I want to accomplish-

Special State Senate Election
Best of luck to John Laird who is running in a special election today in Senate District 15 for State Senate! His opponent, Assembly Republican Sam Blakeslee, is a former Exxon executive who voted in favor of offshore oil drilling and has received more than $1,000,000 in direct contributions and “independent expenditures” from organizations financed by the likes of BP, Shell, Chevron, Valero...

Back from KC, updates for last three days of...
Well, it’s been a hella (that’s for you, Jenny) long week, but I’ve had so much fun and learned so much in these past eight days.
I just got home from the airport, and I have a lot to unpack. I was able to reflect on the first few days of Nationals, but because of time restraints and internet problems, I wasn’t able to write about the back half of the week, so here goes!
Wednesday was my last...

nationals day 3
My post today isn’t filled with good news like yesterday, but it’s okay! :) LOL
Anyway, I competed in two quarterfinal rounds today at Park Hill South HS. They were both intense as hell; the competition is SOO unbelievably good. I got some good judge responses in my first round but my second round was dead. But I’m happy to say that I had good performances (relative to my own...

nationals day 2
so this will be a short blog, which is good news because that means Andrew and I are still competing tomorrow :)
so we’re still in! today, I did round 5 and 6, then broke to Octo-finals. After two octo-finals rounds, I found out I’m still in for quarterfinals tomorrow…top 30 orators in America!
Andrew finished his second prelims session today, and found out that he broke to...

nationals day 1
Code: Y190
Today was the first day of competition. Oratory was held at Oak Park High School which is a pretty nice campus. There were four rounds today. The first three were horrible. I literally botched every speech. Usually when I deliver my speech, it’s free of misspeaks but weirdly, today I had at least two misspeaks per round. I attribute this to speed because I have to go faster with...

rosebowlnationalgroup:
It’s been an interesting time for me. Allowing outside forces affect me and my drive to continue to move this group forward. It’s another hurdle that I am going to use to reignite an internal drive to lead this group to new levels, and to do so in a way that I believe will be the best for the swimmers.
While it is amazing to me to see swimmers and parents make decisions...

reporting from kansas city
We arrived a few hours ago at the Kansas City airport. The weather is so annoying- it’s WARM, HUMID, AND RAINY WITH THUNDERSTORMS.
LOLLLL
QQ
But anyway, I’m really excited. Tomorrow is a relaxing day to adjust to the environment and practice….then rounds start monday!
I am training with a swim team here in Kansas City while I’m here so I stay somewhat in shape. I hope...
things about airports
LAX is the worst airport because there is no free wi-fi
Starbucks is worse for three reasons- 1. it’s more expensive; 2. they charge tax; 3. they don’t do tea refills
moving sidewalks make real life feel slow
flight attendants smile so much that it doesn’t even correlate with the situation
fighting for space to store your carry-on luggage is an all-out war

Goodbye! Next time I see you, Tumblr, I’ll be in Missouri :)

at the crossroads, once more
I spent the first half of today shopping for scripts for speech in Hollywood (Samuel French Bookstore FTW!) and that was fun….until I backed into a MobileMe container which severely dented my car and back light. My mom yelled at me over the phone, but she has yet to see the damage. I’m so sad LOL sigh the damage is going to be expensive- I can tell already…
We ate at Kabuki...

Yesterday, I was talking to Virginia online and we were being our retarded selves. Then I signed off to sleep and this morning I got this offline IM:
2:03:53 AM vheemayo: imma miss you little one
And now I realize that these people are leaving. It hasn’t really set in yet. It set in a little more this morning, but I still can’t imagine speech without the people I’ve looked up...

Junior year is over.

Today was the last day of school, but it honestly didn’t feel like it. It felt like just a normal day…I guess I hyped it up in my head too much LOL
I woke up around 5:45 because I agreed to go jogging with June. The weather is soo nice for running in the...
it's the last day of school tomorrow.
just stop and think about that.
