4/24/10
So today I went to the Randolph relays
the day started with me waking up at 5:30
and then spilling my coach's entire coffee...
then one of the girls in my team's pole vault relay twisted her ankle
which put her and us out of the competition
BUT
today despite the bad beginning, it turned out very well!
I got a personal best in pole vaulting, jumping over 7 feet!!!
This was my first ever time doing so!
Happy Saturday :)

April 20 Track
4/20/10
At this week's dual meet I made two PRs!
In the triple jump I got
28 feet
and then my new personal record of
30 feet!!!
And today in pole vaulting I made
6' 7'' or 7''
(the official did not actually know what height it was)
The day started out stressful and ended on the happiest note!
I had a Chem test but in history when I thought I got a 1 out of 6 I actually got a 5 out of 10 (on a pop quiz)

17 almost
OMG I will be 17 in three weeks!!!!
I am glad that this year I do not have the stress of a sweet sixteen, but I do have the stress of a driving test! I really hope I get my liscense!!
Wow am I really getting that old? And time is impossible to stop!
My track record
So as a third year track athlete I have come to find some events that really suit me!
Last Saturday I tied for first place in the high jumper at 4' 4'' (this was a novice meet) with another girl however she was awarded first place since she had less fowls. However, I am proud of my second place medal and since the other girl was a senior, I was not that bitter.
I PRed (Personal Best) in triple jump the other day at a Dual Meet at 28 feet
That is when you run do a hope skip and a jump into a sand pit.
My pole vaulting record rests at 6 feet 6 inches
I have been trying for 7 feet however without the proper equipment or training area/coach I am very proud of myself.
The 200m race is half of one lap and I knocked my time down to 29.34 seconds! And came in either fourth or fifth overall...not too shabby :)
Good luck to all those track athletes out there and say safe and healthy!

Track Athletes
(This was my track season of last year, I saved it as a draft but never posted it)
This year will be my fourth year running spring track as always I am very nervous because well track hurts! But I know by the end of this season I will be so happy that I did it, the same way I felt as any other year. But then again I can't wait to go to college and enjoy my spring break.....
This is the third year that I have been on my school's track team and boy can I say it has been the most interesting!
Last year our track was condemned because it was old and uneven so they tore it up and were suppose to put in a brand new one....WERE SUPPOSE TO...
It was suppose to be put in last June but got delayed...
(Track starts in March)
It was suppose to be put in March...but got delayed by snow
It was suppose to be put in the first week of April...but got delayed by rain
and so far they only have two very uneven levels of asphalt no where near to the final product...
but my team has overcome this obstacle, we have been running around the parking lot risking shin splits, tearing muscles, hurting ankles and knees but we are dedicated and persistant. So far we have won two track meets out of three and have triumphed. Our 4X2 in 12th in the country and second in the state. So if you need a little inspiration go to a track meet and you will see the most dedicated athletes around.

10 Rules to Live By (if you are a student)
As a junior I can at least say that throughout my whole life I learned a couple of things in schools like:
1. How to pass a test I did not studying for
2. Finish a paper the night before it is due
3. To finish your homework during lunch
4. If you have a later lunch period pack from home, all the good stuff will be gone
5. That questionable susbtance on the stairs should not be looked into, you don't want to know what it is
6. Though fights are fun to watch, you'll be late for class
7. The best bathrooms are always the furthest walk
8. Don't stare at the clock it might tick backwards except on tests then it speeds up
9. If a teacher forgets to ask for the homework, DO NOT remind them
10. A walk through a crowded hallway is more like a mine field, dodge and weave!
I'm proud to say that after 12 years of school, that I actually learned something!
But now as a Senior there is only one rule to live by
1. Be happy
I only have one year left I better enjoy it! (I hope to have a good year to make up for all those years I sorta disliked)

Colleges
Colleges, Universities, oh my!
So my junior year in high school is coming to an end which means a few things
1. Hardest year almost over
2. Summer approaching
3. Senior year ahead
and so along with senior year I will have to apply to colleges (first pick out the ones that I like) then hopefully get into the colleges I want
and then find a way to pay for it .
Which sounds easy enough but just thinking of all the work I have to put into the process...is exhausting. But people before me have none it, so hopefully I will to.
But before all this I will have to graduate from high school! Just thinking about it gets me all excited. In 44 days I will be a senior, enter the summer of senior year and then complete my last year of free and public education! I cannot believe that 13 years have flowen so fast! From Kindergarden to Senior year I sure hope I am ready for the real world!
