20Q

Hey Have you ever played 20Q! I have online and on a portable one. When we were at a swim meet, Libby and I, were being all crazy and asking if it knew who we were, about doorknobs, squeaky fruit and for fun we were asking about our coach Monty. The reason it was funny is an inside joke and cannot be told... Dun Dun DA!! You want to know now don't you...

Only I can manage doing this...

The title says it all! Only I can manage to do this....

Okay about a month ago I was stretching out before practise, with the stretch that I was doing it involved using the floor to stretch my shoulders. So, I got down and crossed my arms and pushed down, as I was supposed to. The problem was that I fell forward and then felt this HUGE pain where my sternum was. As insane as I am, I left it until last Saturday, after practise when I was in sooo much pain I was crying my eyes out. So, we went to the doctor and he said that I sprained a muscle right where my sternum is....
That's where Sadie, Ethan, Libby, Morgan, Erik and my coach Monty come in saying...

Only you can manage doing that...

ManSask results...

That was such a long weekend!!! Starting Friday, I was in Regina for a championship swim meet (ManSask). It was lots of fun because it was an open meet. That means that people from allover can come if they have a qualifying time! The swim teams that I never swam against who came were:

1. Winnipeg MANTAS
2. Kenora Swimming Sharks
3. Lakeshore Swim Club
4. Calgary Patriots
5. Manitoba Marlins
6. Thunder Bay Bolts
7. Orenda Swimming
8. Winnipeg Wave
9. Alberta Marlin Aquatic Club
10. Parkland Gators Swim Club
11. University Of Manitoba Bisons Swimming
12. St James Seals
13. Oakville Aquatic Club
14. Selkirk Dolphins
15. Sherbrook Sharks
16. The Pas Roadrunners
17. Prairie Storm Swim Club

These Clubs come from allover! That is why I mostly like this meet. The other reason I liked it was because it was a bigger competition then always racing Regina and Saskatoon.

The part I didn't like was that it was REALLY long, I had finals a lot, and I was an alternate swimmer for my best race!! I was really mad!!

Podcasts!!

Okay here we go! A podcast is like a radio show on the computer. They are easy to listen to and sometimes fun, unless they are about difficult mathematical questions. No offense Mr. O! The two that I listened to we're like a monthly broadcast. One was about volleyball, Thanksgiving and it had some jokes while the other was about their Spring Fair, Women's History Month and it also had some jokes. If I did a podcast, as like everything else, I would talk about swimming, friends, and whatever else was happening in life.

St. Patricks Day!!!

GREEN!!! That is what I think when I think about St. Patrick's Day! I think that's what it's all about. Other than the fact that I'm actually a quarter Irish, and St. Patrick's Day is originally from Ireland.

At school, we all dressed in GREEN. I have quite a bit of green so it was an easy day. The one thing was that I wore Capri pants when it was like -10 or -15!!

JOYCE IS BACK!!!

I am soooo HAPPY! Joyce came back from LA on Saturday, but when I saw her last night I went CRAZY! My coach said to me:
"Lauran! I am warning you once and only once. Don't fool around all night, Okay???'
I said I would so then I went crazy on the insides. It was really funny because all night I was bouncing up and down and singing and my friends weren't sure what to think!!!!! Te He! If I was bad then what do you think is going to happen in ManSask?!?!

Report Cards!!

Guess What? We got report cards yesterday! My marks were sooooo high! My average was:
93.5%
Isn't that awesome? I am sooo happy! LOL! What were your marks?? Dun Dun Dahhh..... Te he!
Bye,

The Picture Says It All...

Skyping with Alex!!

Hey! Just the other day we skyped with Alex, our blog mentor! It was really cool because to her we were tiny specks, and to us since we had her face on our Promethean smart board... No offense,but Alex but your face was just a little big on the screen. Oh well.... she told us how to download our book reports that we did on the macs, then how to get them on to our blogs!! It was cool. Some of the kids in my class had to get a YouTube account to put their vids on their blogs. I got one anyway... I think it's awesome!

My Book Report

Hey I'm Lauran and here is my little book report on the Twilight series!

Results from Regina...

Just got back from a swim meet in Regina on the weekend. It was REALLY long! I had a lot of fun hanging with Libby, Krystal, Stephanie, Maddy, Erik, Mark, Ethan, Kendal and Chelsea. On Saturday, we played volleyball when we were waiting for swims, but on Sunday we weren't aloud to! My least favourite part was getting disqualified in 50m Breaststroke and in one of my races, when after I dived in the pool I accidentally hit the bottom... with my face! I assure you I am okay...... No need to worry!

All's well that ends well...
Love Lauran

All Qualifiers!!

Hey there! Guess What??? Stephie, Libby, Krystal, Joyce, Lea, and I all qualify to go to ManSask! We are all really excited. Joyce is going to share her excitement as soon as she gets back from LA in 3 days!! I can't wait. Neither can anyone else though.... We all miss her alot. It seems like forever!! Oh well...

So my sister gets all worked up about a fish that we've had for like two days! It got so demented that now I'm not even aloud to have a fish!!! Tee Hee.... In guidance, my card says I will be a vet.... how long before I get sued for accidentally killing someones fish.... Tee Hee. Oops!!! Bye!
