Back from Break

I have now officially gotten back into the groove of school… and swimming!  But as you can tell from my pictures... I’m still thinking about spring break from last week.

Me on a YOLO - fun!!

littlebro on a YOLO! I'm way better than him.

 me and littlebro in the air.  yes, this is really us!

At least this week at school was full of fun school excitement. I got a bad grade on my test, I had a golf practice, a tennis practice, swim practice, and this weekend a swim meet!

Well, about the bad grade…I am in 8^th grade math, and I am in 7^th grade. Anyway, I was out of town for the 70.3 NOLA Half Iron Man, and in math it is hard when you get behind in math, and of course I did! So I am not going to tell you what I got on my test, but I will tell you that we had to make a poster or a PowerPoint , and I chose a poster, and my little project was on forest fires in the Amazon Rainforest (this was in math for Earth Day), and I made a 100 on it… WOO HOOO!!

 On to golf practice!

 Everyone knows that when you play golf you have to be quiet right!? Well, I won’t mention names, but there are a few people who are on the golf team who like to talk…loudly! Even though I like to talk I don’t get in trouble during golf! So one of the girls was there early, and she was doing her homework outside, and she sat down, and being In Florida there are lots of frogs, sat on a frog! She screamed soooooooo loud, and on the golf course too!!!!

 Ok about tennis, I am #1 girl on the team, and we have two coaches. So for the last practice the coaches picked teams, and we had a little competition. I had to play against the best guy on the team, let me tell you, that kid is so so so good it is scary! Well we played a pro match. Meaning you go to 8 games instead of 6! I was very proud of my self, because I only lost 6-8!

 And the swim meet! I am in the middle of it so I will post more tomorrow. 

 Thanks for stopping by!

 

This weekend I had a little shock. As you al know I have recently taken up golf! It is awesome, and I have been to the closest course 3 times during this spring break.

 

So, the story:  when I am in our car, I usually look out the window! Well, we were driving down the road to play golf, and on hole 3 there is a lake, and I thought it was man made. Well. ( I didn’t see tiger or the shark… but pretty close!) I saw a huge alligator. So I said, “Mama I think there is an alligator!” but the course was about to close so we had to go straight to the driving range.  She didn't believe me, anyway.  So on the way back I was looking out my window again, and saw it again! So I told my mom to pull over, so she did, and it WAS an alligator. We turned the car around, and went back to the driving range. So my little brother and I went inside, and told the pros about the gator. We asked them if they knew about it (they did). All they asked was if it was on the green (it wasn’t), so they went back to watching the masters! Only in Florida would it not matter if there was an alligator on the golf course! If that happened in New York, there would be a huge commotion over it, the radio, the news, magazines, and so much more!

 

Well I went to play golf with a friend yesterday, and we were a’ driving, and I was looking out my window again, and then I saw TWO of the yep, you read that right TWO!! They were huge! One of them was at least 10 feet long! It was pretty awesome -- but only because they were on the OTHER side of the lake ;-))

 

 

Ok now for triathlon updates… yesterday I went to morning swim practice, and it was awesome! Then after swim practice we changed the lane lines to short course, so the water polo people could play, and, no, they didn’t help! It makes me so mad that we have to change the lane lines for the water polo-ers, and they don’t even help! Ok enough ranting and raving! So after that littlebro and I went for a little bike ride around the place that we swim.  There is a little loop so I went around that 3 times (it sounds far, but it is only like 1.45 miles J). Then after that "big" Chloe and I ran about 1.5 miles! Kind of like a mini triathlon…set up perfectly for me! 5,000 yard swim, 1.45-mile bike, and a 1.5 mile run…ahhh perfect!

Today, I ran 30 minutes, with a lot of stops with Mama and littlebro.  Not as much fun!  Thank goodness it's back to school tomorrow.  Sitting all day long.  Joy

Ok, I’m back again. This is so much fun, you know, blogging and all! I go to sleep thinking about blogging, wake up thinking about what to put on my blog, and blog thinking about what I am writing.

 

Maybe I am a little obsessed, but that is how everyone feels when they try something new…right?

 

Anyway, a couple of days ago, I started trying out for the golf team at my school. I had to buy the golf clubs by myself, because my mom said that I am trying to many sports. And I quote “ It’s fine though, you just have to buy them yourself so that you say to yourself that you need to go play”.  I just hope I make the team.

 

If you are wondering (cause I would be) what sports I play here tbey are… 

1. Cross Country (beginning of the school year)
2. Swim Team (all year)
3. I Tried Softball (it didn’t work out)
4. Tennis Team (now)
5. Golf (end of the year)
6. TRIATHLONS!!!

 

 

So I guess it doesn’t seem like to many things, but it does when you are playing 2 sports at a time!!
