fun stuff

on tuesday, i only had an afternoon soccer practice (which i skipped for the swim meet) the swim meet, and supposedly easy swim practice. right after swim practice, i got some swim girls together to go to Wasabi's. they were, Hannah Becker, Hannah Giacalone, Lizzy Gibson, Kelli Phillips, Rachel and Janelle Graves, Kelsey Kah, and Lauren Meek. it was cool to go, becuase it was just us, no parental supervision. at movies and stuff, that is normal, but not out to eat! it was relly odd to get the check, and pay, as well as tip. after that, some of the girls came back to my place. we played spoons with trey for a long time, (it was amazing!) then, when trey went to basketball, we just hung out. then, we went to see my puppy, and hung out a bit more. less than an hour later, we all saw each other again at the swim meet. we had to be there at 5, and we got home around 11. that is a lot of swimming!

more on the meet....

we got killed on all the IM's, so at first it was looking bleak. however, we soon found out that they just had a few superstars. like there 2 IM'ers in my age group! and the girl in the first leg of the free relay on the jewish teams A team (both teams have A and B teams). so, whenever i swam in those events, i was like "wow, whats wrong with me?!?!" but, i still had a convincing win in fly, and we pulled out the win in both relays.

you can not understand how intense this meet was. for almost every event (particularlly the IM's and relays which are worth the most points) every person there is screaming as loud as they can to their respective team. mormon...or jewish??? it was literally deafening at a few key points in the race. for example....

tyler's fly which he barely pulled out a first in
all relays
dustins breast and fly
breanne and leslie's fly and breast
i think my breast and IM and relays, but its hard to tell while you swim
jared's IM
sydneys IM
dustins IM all IMs
all meet long

i mean, ears ringing, voice cracking, jumping up and down, hoarseness, all out plea in your scream as loud as you can becuase you dont think that they understand how close it is.... when they do.
