8:03 Friday Morning   Six Days and Counting I wonder what my mum felt like on February 25, 1988. I wonder if she was scared. I was her first baby and I was not cooperating. I didn't want to be here. It was already a week past my due date and I was still comfortable in my womb, even though it was getting a bit cramped as I continued to grow. My poor dear mother. I wish I had the sort of relationship with her as Kajsa does with her mum. Or Kirri and her mum who understand each other. I wonder who I look like more. A 17 year old mum or a 17 year old dad. I wonder if I knew my mum in high school, would I be friends with her? Sometimes I wish I could go back in time. I would probably be biased. I'd probably try my hardest to be friends with her. I wonder if I would recognise her. I wonder what the 70s were like in high school. So yesterday was pretty cool. I got picked up by his mum and him before school and i sat in the front and he sat in the back, trying to share space with the couch. We set up some equipment with James and then I hung out on the couch with Nik and Hyun Woo and Brett and the other guys most of the day. I went and hung out with Arina's group a little but I always went back to the couch. Laura and I participated in the 3 legged race, and Laura, Sam, Nik, some random girl I don't know, and I participated in the centipede race. We didn't fall down! go us! I talked to mr. biddick and got the tickets for the meet tonight. I listened to Nine Inch Nails and decided I liked them a lot. after school, Caleb and I helped take equipment back down. We then walked to Zeb's and ate popsicles. Andrew drove me home. There was a party at Andrew's and I really wanted to go...but alas, I had a dreaded swim meet to go to. I talked to Chelsea and she helped me not be scared. Lots of THANKS to her. She's a godsend. discussed classes with Nicole. Maybe if she takes AP Calc we'll be in maths together! That would rock. I hope Aaron goes to SVHS next year and doesn't have to keep going to LHS. Because he HAS to be in my physics class. Otherwise taking sciences senior year will be so pointless! The swim meet. Eep. Well, I did some stretching, a few warmup laps, one warmup dive (and I did pretty good, I didn't lose my goggles), and then sat with my mum reading a romance novel until my race. Heavy duty praying. "Dear God, please help me swim to the best of my abilities. Please help me keep up my energy throughout the race (x1000000000)! In Jesus Christ's name i pray, Amen." Yeah. I lost my goggles diving off the board. I tried to remember everything coach taught me. Keeping my head down and ..uh... what else? haha. Yeah, go my remembering skills. I made my arms long and tried to remember everything Christy taught me. I managed to keep the energy up. Even though towards the end I was breathing every 3 strokes, and I couldn't see. I got 8th out of 10! I wasn't last! Then I went home and showered, got online and then I went to bed. I slept really soundly. I went to bed at like...9:30. I got 9.5 hours of sleep! Oh it was nice.
