Weekend Madness!
So today begins a busy weekend.
I’m going later to find out what my handicap will be for a big swim I’m doing on sunday in dun laoire harbour. The faster you are the higher your handicap is, and I reckon mine will be about 15 minutes! So before that I’m going to town to meet up with a friend, and then after that I’m off to a party! Stressful stuff!
On Saturday I think...

Hey!

Im off cause today I’m going to the doctor to get an inhaler, cause recently my lack of ability to breathe has been bothering me ever so slightly! So school is grand, fourth year isnt boring just yet, but a lot of the work we do is so clearly...

Updating.....
Hey,
I haven’t blogged in ages, so I thought I might as well! I’ve just been bag packing in supervalue, and I met Mr Johnston! It was so weird! I’m currently trying to learn my poetry aloud poems, for the final, which is on Thursday. It’s really stressful!
Swimming has been really hard lately, we haven’t had an easy session in two weeks at least! (This was worked...

What a weekend!!
Hey!!
I just had such a good weekend! omg!! It all started on saturday, with mah alarm going off at 5. We had a shite session, considering the fact it was the day before a gala! 8x400, 3 on 5.40, 3 on 5.35, and 3 on 5.25……for anyone that cares. I went home and slept for half an hour, and then went to mah granddads house. My granddad is such a legend!
Then I went back to glenalbyn,...

I’m playing a waterpolo match later…..uh oh! its gonna be interesting…… But swimming this morning……..O……M……G!! I LOVED IT! We swam 7.7k, it was such a cool session. And gym was really good too! She says my fly is really good, and she thinks...
Hey.....
Hey,
Today I went training, and then to gym. It was really good. I like these auld distance sessions. And my upper body strength is improving apparently! And Linda said my breastroke was EXCELLENT! Then I went to ballet, which I hate. Then I went sea swimming and to a lunch, where I found out that a lady from Glenalbyn wants to swim the channel! Not if I get there first!
Waterpolo was cancelled,...
Training!
Linda: Are you tired??
Me: Actually I'm...
Linda: I knew you would be, it was very hard.
Me: But actually it was.....
Linda: But your stroke was crap. You didn't think about it at all!!
Me: Actually I....
Linda: You just need to fix that STUPID STROKE!
(sheesh........I've heard of interrupting, but this is crazy!)

Just A Thought.....
Hey,
I’m going good at the moment. Apart from about three ton of graffiti on my journal recently, I’ve been ok. I’m just reflecting on what a great summer I had. The sea swims were great. I just had the greatest crack ever! Everyone at the swims is so nice, they all like to tell me how wonderful I am. It’s nice to hear, even though they’re just being nice. One of...

Happy place!
Hey,
Today wasn’t so bad. My classes are slowly but surely improving. I now have two parents telling me their kids need more attention, so I get in early and help them out while their parents breath down my necks. Stress much!
Blog soon (when something intersting happens!)

“Hey, I like you…..”

Work.....for the first time in a while....
Hey,
Today was the first time that I felt I actually had a lot of work to do sinco getting off school last may!! You must understand that this is purely academic of course. I have done nothing but work in the swimming pool or the sea!!
I had to write this MASSIVE english essay which I’ve been putting off since last week. It’s due in tomorrow, so I just sat down and did it. No...
Boredom....
Hey,
Now I’m bored. I just have school and more school to look forward to. Although I am going to cork on saturday, which should be cool!
Had lots of liffey convos today. I need to win this thing soon so that I actually have something to tell people when they ask how I did! They don’t understand the whole handicap thing, so top 25 doesn’t sound that wonderful! lolz
Blog soon,...
Clontarf
Hey,
As the title suggests, I trained in clontarf today. We swam 6.5k. It was grand, except for the fact that I was insanely jealous of anyone over in the sea. The sun was out and it was really warm. I wished I was there! Maybe someday I’ll ditch Clontarf and go sea swimming!
Blog soon,

Liffey was EPIC!!
Hey,
I know I’m gonna get in trouble with Scott for using the word epic, cause he thinks its over used, but I seriously can’t think of another word to describe it! The swim started real late cause of a problem with the electronic timing. I don’t have a clue where I came, but I was kinda happy with how I swam, so it’s all good. The timing pads were the polar opposite to...

Excitement!!
Hey,
I’m so excited for the Liffey!!! I have a shit handicap though, so I’ll probably come last. I couldn’t concentrate in school today at all. I was trying to work out my game plan for the entire time!! I did nothing at all! I cannot wait til tomorrow! Cept Ross is bullying me, saying that I have no self confidence etc etc……..:P He says I have to eat five sausages...
The Liffey and Injuries!!
Hey,
Today was so much fun! I got a backcrawl session which I’ve been waiting for for the past week! It was quite fast, but who cares! Then school. I got to leave early to go and jump in the Liffey! Sounds stupid, but it was really fun! And…….MY ‘TOG BURN’ WAS GONE! yay! Thank you backcrawl sessions! Then it was back to Glenalbyn for a gym and a swim. Except when we...
Averageness......
Hey,
Today was average. Not to good, not too bad. The only things I liked/disliked about today were……..
1. A stupid maths class where we were told, ‘There’s a formula for this, but I don’t want to give it to you…..I want you to WORK IT OUT!!’ (come on!! nobodys that smart!!)
2. An interesting looking ‘tog burn’ on my neck. I swore it was til...
