Jingle Bells
heavens, i haven't posted in awhile! :O
i've been really busy...(yes, yes, excuses i know) i shall make up for it with a looong post =)
well, anyway, today was the first day of winter break! (for me) tomorrow i will be dragging myself/falling out of bed at 5:00am before my dad can wake me up by singing jingle bells at the top of his lungs, leaving at 6:00am, and enduring a tedius 8 hour car ride to Maryland for Christmas while watching my sister's barbie movies. Won't that be a joy? *sigh* and i've lost my wonderful ability to sleep for an entire car ride =[
anyway, i'm looking forward to seeing my cousin, because he may be a little man bitch at his house but we get along swimmingly at my grandparents' ^^ and apparently my grandpa got kinect for his xbox, so i get almost a week to use it >:D
i'm also quite excited to go to Dave & Buster's, which we do every year. What is that, you ask? it's a place with arcade games where you win tickets for prizes and a restaraunt and bar. hmm? NO, it's NOT like Chuck E Cheese. -_- anyway (yes, i say anyway too much, it's not my fault i get off topic) do you know that game where the little flashy light goes around a circle and you have to press a button to make it stop, and you try to stop it on the high number to get that many tickets? WELL. i am the master of the spinning button press ticket wheel. i'm not one to brag but *ehem* i won the 1,000 ticket jackpot 8 times in 2 1/2 hours last year >:D with that and the other games i had 12,000 tickets and got Halo 3 for my xbox! (hehehehe)
I also need to buy a winter jacket ~~~BECAUSE~~~i just found out i can go with my friend to her aunt's house to snowboard because i'm going to be home in time!!! =D i'm really excited! We went snowboarding last year with a bunch of friends, but we didn't get a lesson (ahaha, that totally wasnt my fault...) so it was really hard. so this time we WILL get a lesson! This winter i'm going to get everyone together again to snowboard, but this time hopefully everyone can come! (yes Ashley, i'm talking about you, come snowboarding this year =D!!!)
Well, i shall be going now, have to go pack....FUN....

Track
So, Happy December, Christmas is approaching, but right now is track season. I'm doing sprinting and hurdles. I'm not very good with sprints, but i think i'm starting t get the form down with hurdles, and i've been really enjoying it! It's especially fun doing it with my friends, not and not just for the endless supply of entertainment but for advice too! it's always good to have people watching and ready to help you improve.
Speaking of people providing advice, my coach is okay but i LOVE the boy's track coach. He'll always come over to the hurdles when we're working on them and take a lot of his time helping us with form. He pulls each of us aside and tells us what we have to work on, and then shows us drills. And he isn't even our coach! it's really helpful, especially when our real coach didn't even make an attempt at explaining how to do hurdles. Yeesh.
Well, anyway, it's pretty painful having track 6 days a week (horrible shin splints, knee problems) and i think it's that way for everyone, but i think it'll get better after maybe one more week. and hopefully i'll get a little faster with all this running, because i'm so slow!
