Valentine's Day

In February every year there is one special holiday that everyone get all lovey-dovey over and everywhere you hear talk about flowers, pink and red, chocolate, and love. Can you guess what holiday I'm talking about now? That's right Valentine's Day. People get so crazy over this one little holiday. If only they would be that way at Christmas and Easter, over Jesus. People should be more in love with Jesus and God than with someone else because God will give you the ultimate love and intimacy that everyone craves; his love.

For God so loVed the world that he gAve his onLy son the whoEver believed iN him shall noT parIsh, but have aN evErlasting life. John 3:16

Swimming Regionals

In every sport there is always a big game or meet you train for and compete in, for swimming it is regional. Regional was this weekend it was a lot of fun. I got to leave school early, swim against 59 other swimmers, and have fun with my friends. At regional we swam preliminaries on Friday and then if you had one of the top 12 times in your event you swam again on Saturday to see whether or not you qualify for the state swim meet. I just missed swimming in finals on Saturday, but I was an alternate for my team. Even though, I didn't qualify for finals I still had 3 of my best times in swimming. I had a 2:26 in my 200 yd freestyle swim (my fastest time by 3 seconds), a 6:36 in my 500 yd freestyle swim (my fastest time by 9 seconds), and a 1:06 in my leg of the 400 yd freestyle relay (I swam 100 yd- my fastest time by 2 seconds). It was a lot of fun on Saturday, because I was able to warm up with my teammates that had qualified for finals, but I was still able to cheer them on and take pictures of them. If you ever get a chance to compete at the region or state level take it. It is a lot of fun, a great way to meet new friends, and a great way to compare yourself to other around you.

What is silly?

Silly means happy or innocent.
There are many things that are silly. One thing that is silly is being at school today. The roads in the city are not safe to drive on let alone the roads in the county. Also, the school parking lot isn't even clear. I had to park over top of a snow pile. this morning, driving to school, I couldn't go over 10 mph because the roads was still icy and snow covered. Then i got to school and had to park on top of a snow pile because they hadn't plowed the parking lot. It was a very silly idea to have school since the roads and parking lots were a mess especially since we have been out of school for a lot less snow that melted by 9:00. It was a very silly idea to be in school today.
