Soooper excited.

So, life is pretty awesome right now.

:Tyler has been released from the hospital and has attended two basketball games as well as the absolutely HUMONGOUS wrestling tournament at BHS this weekend. He will be at school on Monday morning. Yes, Monday morning! It is so exciting for him to be coming to school again; I don't think they expected him back-they cleaned out their lockers and everything. Nikko is still in the hospital, but will hopefully be released in the next week.

:This weekend was conference for swimming. I was swimming the 200 and the 500 free, and I was very nervous. I shaved off 7 seconds on my 200, but added 6 on my 500 in the preliminaries. The top 18 in every event go to finals, and I was seated 19th before I swam the 200, and moved up to 14th! Adding 6 seconds, however, brought me from 13th to 16th. This did mean, though, that I would be swimming in finals in both events, which is a huge accomplishment, considering the even some of our seniors haven't been to finals.
Finals started at 1:30pm (warmups at 11:45am) this afternoon. I slept 11 hours before, and I was pumped for my 200 free. I was not excited about my 500 free, though, because I had done so badly the day before. But, I ended up dropping 5 more seconds off of my 200 free, and now I am but 3 seconds away from going to state! That means that next year, it is almost guaranteed that I go to the state meet. Woot woot! My 500 was, I can gladly say, just as amazing. It didn't started out so well, though. I got up on the blocks and the announcer said "Take your marks." Right then I realized I didn't have my goggles on, and I checked my forehead for them. They weren't there either, so I whipped around to everyone who was standing behind me. Everyone started flailing, getting the officials to stop (the race hadn't started yet). Lynzi threw my goggles to me, and I was okay. I got back up on the blocks and jumped in. I raced a fabulous race, beating everyone in my heat by at least 5 seconds. I got a 6:04.08, which is 9 seconds off my best time and 17 off the time I did the day before. It felt awesome.
So, I'm really happy about everything right now, but I'm also very glad my season is over; it was getting a little old. (:

Thanks for reading! Have good weeks!
