My Book Report!

So I realize I haven't really posted lately, that's because we are starting a new project on Photo Story. We are doing a book report. My book is The Melting of Maggie Bean. It's about an overweight girl and her friend Aimee. Aimee is a very supportive friend, a really good athlete, but she is doing pretty bad in school. So, the point of this book is that Aimee wants Maggie, the chocoholic, to join the Water Wings, the school syncro swim club, but Maggie is REALLY self conscious about her weight. She ends up using excuses like homework when Aimee pleads her to join with her. But is that really her only reason?? No, Maggie's father lost his job, so he is at home alot... When he decides to put Maggie in Pound Patrollers, a local weight-loss club, with her Aunt Violetta, Maggie is a total wreck. When she realizes that she wants to join the Water Wings, she literally starves herself, and overworks herself down in weight from her old 186 to a 170, she is sure she can make it on the team. Well after she froze herself practising routine in Mud Puddle Lake, behind her Pound Patrollers friend Arnie's cabin, starved herself, and literally also worked herself to death (aka busted her butt) just to fit into the Water Wings silver, two piece uniform... she knew she could make it... That didn't happen though, after busting her butt, she didn't make it! Aimee did, but she didn't... At the part in the book that I'm at, Maggie gives up on EVERYTHING! She goes back to her old weight a 186, after eating all the candy and chocolate she could. She just let go... Everything gone. I wouldn't be able to do that... But I am totally sucked into this book. Ya know what? You should read this as soon as I'm done!!

Brandon Bluefins.....

On the Friday I left for Brandon with my friend Joyce. We were headed out for the Brandon Bluefins Summer Splash swim meet. It was fun but a realllllly long drive for me... We had fun but I didn't feel that good on Sunday night. I swam all my finals because I AM MAJOR FAST... Just kidding. Altogether I swam 50's and 100's and I got......... 3 medals and 1 sixth ribbon! I got 2 bronze medals and 1 silver! The sixth is in a swim that I thought I got 1st in..... 50 FLY!

Easter Dance...

It was AWESOME... but really short! We had our Easter Dance right before Spring Break. I thought it was a lot of fun. They played Untouched and when they played it.... we ROCKED OUT.... lol I thought it was a good song, but you can have your opinions!

Spring Break....

Alright, for Spring Break I really am not doing anything or for a fact I haven't really done anything. A couple things that I have done are...

1. I went to Mackenzie's Birthday Party. We watched Marley and Me, then we went to Mack's room and played Truth or Dare and ended up Prank Calling people.



2. I went to my cousin Sheldon's house were for the younger kids we had an Easter Egg hunt, I played with their new puppy, ( Shih Tzu/Maltese mix) Tugs, who was totally adorable and then my cousin's daughter (first cousin once removed?) and I were dancing around in Sheldon's Basement...

And that's really all that's happened. But coming up on the weekend of the 18th/19th I'm in Brandon for a swim meet!! i think it'll be LOTS of fun because we are driving Joyce to Brandon!!! I can't wait!

My Little Incident...

Here's the deal. Friday after school I had a two hour swim practise, and I really didn't eat before I left. Not smart!! The problem was that we were doing 24x25m IMO sprints and I lasted about 8 of the 25's... My shoulders started hurting. So, my coach, Jen, said that she would get the knots out... She said she thinks I'm on steroids for growing so much!! What a silly idea... Oh well, the rest of the story goes like this...
After Jen finished with me and my stupid shoulders, Me, being the way I am, decided to all out sprint the next couple of sprints. I lasted about 4 of them and then when I finished fly... I couldn't get out and I might have hit my head on the side of the pool! When I got out I struggled to walk because I was shaking so much. I lasted til the flags which was only about five steps away and... I literally fell right beside my coach. She said for me to just sit there, but I managed to get to the bleachers without killing myself. My coaches said that it was either from working so hard or... from low blood sugar. So I sat out the rest of practise...

That's what happened Friday night. Which I call My Little Incident!

My Allstar Pet

adopt your own virtual pet!

If I could have a pet I would get a fox! I think that they are just the best... But most people wouldn't have a fox because of DANGER ISSUES and that foxes should be kept in their natural habitat.... The second reason is why I wouldn't have a fox. Foxes should stay in their habitats!!!
