Yay for my internet being back!!
So props to my lovely geeky brother Jason, who somehow managed to FINALLY get our internet connection back up. Thanks Jay!! And, to make things even better, AP testing is over!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-D I was going insane. I might have failed physics, but i think i did pretty well on the others, and am almost completely sure i at least got a five on calc, if nothing else. And SATs were easy. Just long. very very long. But the kid sitting next to me was from litchfield, so i asked him if he was on track. (he looked familiar.) His response : "yeah, i am. hey, aren't you one of the girls that was talking to the throwers?" Always nice to know I'm noticeable, I guess. Still a little strange though, especially given some of my other track experiences this year. Always fun, but... surprising. Very surprising. Hopefully, I will finally make it into Berks at our last meet on Tuesday. I know i can do it... at practice yesterday and today i made it past the qualifying distance in shotput at the very least, 4 times. And emily and i got to help a har-bur kid learn to throw better! He improved but almost a foot or more after we taught him to slide right and to transfer his weight. Tomorrow, hopefully, we'll get to help out more, as the kids have practice instead of a meet. I hope we can help. They throw really well considering they use their legs not at all. One of the Avon kids today was HUGE... taller than me and Emily by at least 3 or 4 inches. Em gave me a kind of startled look when i asked the kid if he was on steriods. Luckily, he just laughed. He was definitely a beast for a middle schooler though.So I think thats good for the good stuff that happened this week... for the bad, there was the internet crashing, my mom deciding i'm getting fat, stuff like that. Luckily, i feel much better today. I got a letter from Harvard telling me they were sending me more information and an application. I feel smart, which helps to make up for the fact that i'm apparently getting fat!! oh well, i know i'm never going to be stick-thin. At least we're running at track now, so that should help.I still wish it were summer though. School is pretty much pointless for me now as only Spanish has to be taught now. The others, we're watching movies, learning supplemental yopics and doing projects. And if it were summer, i'd be swimming, working (hopefully) and going to Colorado. It'll be a party! Even if i have to throw college searches in the middle of it all.
