SWEEEEEEEEEEET SUCESS!!!!
Im saved!! lol. u all kno that architectural drafting project ive been bitchin about the past couple of days, where I have to find and interview an architect; then write this 3-5 page report? well...i got an architect!! yay! i dont kno any architects, so of course...i turned to that wonderful world called the internet. Using the best search engine in the world, (google, of course!) i found a bunch of architects and 2 message boards that are related to that kind of work. I posted a few things on the message boards and then emailed 5 architects i found, basically begging them to anwser about 10 questions i had so i can do my project...worth 25% of my 3rd quarter grade..did i mention that?? Lifsey musta lost his mind! lol. NEwayz...the rough draft is due on wed., and the whole thing is due on the 18th...very soon. So i was all like...no!!! I checked my mail in 5th period today...no one had anwsered, so i sent a few more architects mail.
And now i am online...and i checked my mail....and someone anwsered!!! This one REALLY nice architect anwsered my questions and sent me all this info....yay!! I am BOOSTED!!! i think i have enough to do the report...though i probably will wait to do the draft tomorrow....Joe Millionaire is on in less than a half hour. :) whew! im relieved.

NEwayz...for the rest of my day: the big news: weather...it SNOWED ALL DAY...from before i left for skool up until the start of 8th period....i was like....AHHH! I WANTED A 2 HOUR DELAY! o well...the way we're going we wont be on summer break til July! haha...we'll have a day off for the 4th of July this year! lol. j/k...im getting a job this summer...so im leaving as soon as i can...ill probably not come the last week like usual...i dunno...ill see.
Overall today was a pretty boring day.

What i found out 2day:
1. Ms. Anderson can draw/paint REALLY well!! She made this cool box for papers...its got pretty flowers and stuff on it...i thought she bought it but she made it! its so purdy...

2. My guidance counselor knows me!! I feel SpEcIaL!! going to such a big skool...i dont think i stand out at all...heck..i didnt kno who my counselor was til the end of last year; when it was already the end of my sophmore year! i need to start making sure im cool with most of my teachers, and i get to kno some administrators...i feel bad not knowing where to go for certain things....feel like a freshman....ha...ha-ha. lol

3. We're never gonna get out of skool early cause of snow...this was the second time this year it snowed almost all day pretty hard and we were stuck in skool...no go-home-early thing...stupid Metts....

4. New England winters are SO cool... my grandma lives in Maine...and they got another 11 INCHES of snow today!! The piles on the sides of the roads are 5 ft. tall now!! im like....uh...we have about 4 inches in the grass...lol. My mom..she grew up there...is always like..."this isnt snow...its barely a flurry!! And they're closing school??? You dont know what snow is..." blha, blah yeah....she reminds me of Grandpa off the Rugrats "When i was your age...we had to walk FIFTEEN miles in the puring rain just to get to the bus stop..."

hey all! the weekend is about over....darnit. o well...it was getting old anywayz....
Saturday was fun. We had our last regular swim meet...*sob*....ima be so sad when its all over!! lol. It was against Gwen Park and Duval....we won i think, but i dont kno for sure...tho we couldnt have lost so..yeah...we won. lol. It was pretty good. I swam breast stroke in the 200 Medley Relay, the 200 IM, the 100 Free and the 400 Free Relay. In the Medley, i think we came in 4th. The IM....i got 2nd!! yeah, buddy! lol. i gained back time tho....like 6 seconds...but i knew i would so it wasn't disappointing. And I PASSED THE GIRL NEXT TO ME!! heres my dramatic recap of it: the order for the IM in fly, back, breast then free. Doing Fly, i was right on everyones tail and beating a few pple...but not the girl beside me. Then i went into backstroke. By then, i was still doing pretty good...but the girl was still in front of me; so far ahead i could barely see her...so i said screw it and decided just to go at my own pace... Then i went into breast stroke. I was pulling and pulling..i didnt think i was going real fast...but then i saw the girl!! She was almost a half a lap in front of me doing breast stroke. so i was like...o well...shes good. But then i realized something...i was GAINING on her!! i was like...haha! So i started pulling harder and doing faster strokes...i kept going and going and going...then i was next to her! i was like...crap...when she sees me beside her, she'll probably speed up and try to beat me...so i tried harder...and i passed her. I was ahead of her going into freestyle, but im not a freestyle sprinter...i like distance. So i was like...daym....she'll catch me on the free if i dont go fast...but i really wanted to beat her...so i tried to go fast. i was moving and moving!! My arms felt numb and my leg was making some sort of sound that i dont think it should've been making....and my shoulder was snapping like 4 times....and i was like...IM FALLING APART!! but i kept going and going....and i finally hit the wall.....and i had beat her!! by like 1/4 a lap!! YYYYAAAYYY!!
**ok, ok....sorry....i cant help it.....i need to brag just a little bit...i was BOOSTED!! lol ok..back to the undramatized rest of my blog:

In the 100 Free, i came in 2nd. that was ok. That was the first time i ever did the 100 Free so i had no clue how to pace myself. I was a little pissed at myself cause i wasn't near tired at the end, so i know i coulda went faster...o well...im not complaining! lol Then in the 400 Free Relay; we came in 2nd...i was happy; we did well. So yup guyz....GOOD MEET! lol
But...omg!! The place was FREEZING!! Usually, the pool/room is humid and warm...most of the time. But yesterday...it was the coldest pool yet!! The whole time i was shaking and shivering...and it doesnt help cause ur like...wet for 3 hours...and u keep getting in and out of the water. I was turning PURPLE!!! eww!! it was gross!! i was like...people...if i start turning blue, please tell me...cause then theres a problem! lol. i only think ive ever turned blue once...it was VERY cold...very cold...lol

NEwayz....the funny thing that happened::: THIS IS A MUST READ!!! lol... we FINALLY pushed Bley in the pool!!!! YAY! it was sooo funny!! after the meet, we all had changed and stuff, then went back out to the pool area just messing around. Then, one of the Yacobs was like we're gonna puch Bley in. So we made a plan: He told us places to stand, like we were getting ready to take a picture. We made it seem like all us girls were lining up by the pool for a picture, and wanted Bley in it too. Sarah had a camera and told Bley she wanted a yearbook picture of the girls and him by the pool. So we got lined up and told Bley to stand in the back. Of course he listened to us (hes soooo gullible). Then, Sarah was like, we'll take the picture on 3...one....two...three! And on 3, all us girls turned around and shoved Bley into the pool! it was funny! He looked so shocked! only thing was, when he was falling in; he grabbed onto Ashley and pulled her in too! i felt bad for her..lol. But it was HILARIOUS!! luckily, sarah actually took the picture then, so hopefully ill get a copy to show u all! :)
The meet was funny....everyone was acting slow. Like...for the men's 500 freestyle, the Yacobs and Andrew ware just doing whatever since both the other teams hadn't put anyone in that event. They all did everything together...they did some fly...some corckscrew things.....backstroke...it was funny....HAD 2 BE THERE!! lol. good meet.


Today was much less exciting. I went to the mall....got a new jacket and a pair of jeans..nothing special. I spent about $40....twenty on the jacket, twenty on the pants....i feel bad. IM SO FREAKIN CHEAP!! This is my spending plan: dont by a short-sleeved/sleevless shirt for more than $8...dont buy a long sleeved shirt/sweater for over $16...don't buy a pair of jeans for over $20...don't buy a pair of sweat/athletic pants for over $12.......meaning: I CANT BUY JACK CAUSE EVERYTHING IS ALWAYS MORE THAN THIS!! im soo cheap...i hate it! lol

And now, i am looking for stuff for Lifsey's project...yes...i said Lifsey. He actually gave us a project!! We have to find and interview an architect about their job/services; and write 3-5 pages on it...and the rough draft is due wednesday....WTF?? I dont know any architects!! Ive been looking online. So far ive emailed 4 different architects and posted questions on 2 architectural sites and am waiting for responses. If i cant find anyone, i might make up someone...this is stupid....im mad.

Great...the fire alarm in my house went off....AAAHH!! make it stop!!! whats cooking??? lol.....ok...i think i gotta go now. peace!
