Subject: Swim meet!

Sorry I haven't been posting very often. It's just that I'm trying to limit my ranting to my diary... So anyway, I went to the swim meet. Man, I was nervous. Excited and nervous. You should've seen me when coach told me. I was so shocked, I felt like I'd been shot. Because I am very slow... But I got excited and danced in the car--I actually kicked the roof! But oh man, was I nervous. I was fidgeting like nuts at the meet, not really paying attention to the swimmers and then my turn came up... I was gonna be in a relay and swim 4 laps free style... I kept on thinking to myself, "Sharks don't slow down, sharks don't slow down!!" Though in the third lap, I slowed down. I tried my best... Everybody was all, "Good job, Shark!" The coach was very proud. ^_^

I got a little sad when I heard a rumor that I got us disqualified... I cried in the lockerroom bathroom b/c I was so sad that I screwed everyone up. The thing about me is, I'm very expressive and emotional. It's not difficult to make me laugh so hard that I cry. This one of the reasons I wouldn't wanna be a shark... If I try to hold back a grin or tear, it feels really, really awful, like when you have to the bathroom really bad and you're the last person in a line of twenty people. Heh, people can tell exactly what's on my mind by looking at my face. So when I heard that... Oh man, was I frustrated and I just walked into a bathroom and sobbed.

Turned out it was nothing... Because we were NOT disqualified. That girl had her story wrong! We WON the match... You see, BOTH of the judges have to agree on whether a team is kicked out or not. They disagreed, so we were in. Both the boys and girls team won by 50 points, so... We did good. We all did really good. Only bad part is, I feel sorry for the opposing team. I mean, we went to their school and beat them up at their own pool. Their coach must be mad... Poor guys. And the thing is, our pools are different... So now the coach has another reason to be mad. Poor guys. At least they one the freestyle relay I was in... It was wierd. I was in the slowest one, but our team seemed to be the slowest... Good for a beginner. :-D
