A few quick updates

I don't have time to make a whole huge post on this blog, but I still feel like making a small one.

1. I like making lists. You have probably seen (and will continue to see) many lists on this blog.

2. It is snowing tonight (Already...ugh) which means there is no swim practice tonight. That is the only reason I am sitting at this computer and not swimming 10 X 100 IM or something.

3. I have had so much homework this week. Can anybody say three essays in a single week? My teachers are insane!

4. Remember the thing I talked about a couple of posts ago about getting left off the swim team T-Shirt? It turns out that actually was not deliberate and my name was not crossed off a list Someone just simply forgot to write my name down on the list. There was not a list already pre-made.

5. I'm joining the track team this spring and am really excited about it! It will be something really different and fun to do. Every year since middle school, I have wanted to join the cross country and track teams, but never really acted on that desire. I always regretted my decision. As another benefit, the track team should give me extra leg speed in my quest for a sub-22 5K.

6. I officially got accepted into National Honor Society. The induction ceremony is in December. I am so glad I got in because the application process was really tough. We had to fill out this huge application about all our volunteer activities, extracurricular, etc. We also had to write an essay (yet again with the essays- I am becoming a professional essay writer at this point). I thought my application was really bad, and that I wouldn't get in. I was really surprised when I made it!

7. I had a really great run today in the snow! Normally I think of winter weather as really, really gross, but the snow shower I ran in today was actually very beautiful.

8. I ran two other times this week in the cold weather. It has never gotten above 35 degrees this week. I'm going to have a fun time training this winter (or not…)!
