Swim [Boot] Camp

Ok, so on the 27th of June we arrived in Heraklion, Crete, Greece (finally) after our plane was delayed 2.5 hours. We ended up sitting in front of our gate and chatting away, (me and Evelyne watched the rest of the Shining) so it wasn't all bad. Then when we arrived (about 3 hours delayed) I had to go on a rampage to find Roland's oversized baggage, i.e. his bike. This took forever. We boarded our bus and began the two hour drive to Chania, reaching our final destination, Akali Hotel. Thank god. It was already the morn, so our morning training got moved one hour forwards. This way, we'd have training from 10-11 instead of 9-11. Unfortunately, Coach didn't really plan the training well, because we ended up having done not even half the training at 11 o'clock. That's when my mother had to step in to discuss with the teams' coach who was supposed to be training 11-13. In the end it all worked out of course; but it was all drama we didn't need.
Fast forward: Train, eat, sleep, PC, sleep, eat, read, train, eat, read, sleep etc. To now.
I'm sitting on my bed, Evelyne's on the floor in the hall outside because she can't stand the one bar of wireless connection we have in our room. But for me, since i'm just writing blogs, why would 'slow' connection bother me?
I have insomnia again. It bothers me more than it did before because now i actually need my sleep to function during the next training. But what can you do, right? I keep having dreams about what was, so to convey that to you all, i felt like adding the following picture.

i love floating out the window; i love floating out the back door.




camp left: 11 days
until championships: about 15 days
until total vacation: 19 days

The Last Days of Sophomore Year

So school has now officially ended. Wednesday was the last day. But Friday and Tuesday were a joke. Monday we had sport's day, which i guess was alright. I got pretty sunburnt on my face and very cold when we finally got to the pool. Thank god though, that this year, red didn't win =] That was a plus for everyone, except of course, for Red. Yellow were the siegers this year.
Tuesday had originally been planned to be the make-up day for sport's day, incase Monday was too rainy to go as planned, but Monday was fine, i.e. we did absolutely nothing but sit in school and watch movies for 8 hours. Which brings me to the point i must absolutely mention, it bothered me so much: Bousquet was our period 2 sub in german class (Boyd was period 1 sub). We had started watching the Shining with Jack Nicholson, and we had all gotten into it etc..when Bousquet came in, and not only ordered us to switch it, but refered to it as RUBBISH. She can have her own opinion and whatnot, but calling a classic like the Shining rubbish is unacceptable.
Now that i've finished venting, i think i'll go play xbox. Or to town and shop.
Bis den, suckers.

First Weekend of June

SOO, the end of the previous week was amazing. and with amazing, i mean hectic but totally worth it. you see, on thursday, i went to the hollywood undead and alesana concert in abart, zurich with juju, my ever-loving kolleg.
hours of sleep that night= 4.5
friday, it was hannah's to-midnight party, or pre-party if you must, which we completely enjoyed and then followed on with a countdown starting from 30 (which was quite confusing i must say) for her birthday! at 24:01 on saturday, we partied like it was 2009 and had a sick time. (field not included ><) a few people left, a few came, then we started settling down...it took a long time
hours of sleep that night= 4
SO THEN saturday early morning came around, i.e. 9 am and we all left. i dropped off some peeps and then continued on home, to do...what exactly? i can't remember... i blame the night before. saturday night creeped along, and i left for hannah's birthday dinner at pjs, where more ethanol was consumed, and more smoke was inhaled (smokers area, yknow)....then it was time for jessie and sophie's double 18th! it was soo great; those free drink tickets didn't help though, but it was such a ball! i just had to leave early, there was no way i would survive the night on 9 hours sleep out of 48. i changed into my rainbows (haha!) and went home...
hours of sleep that night= 9 yaaayyyy!!!!
but then i woke up and OH NO! i had swimming competition. story of my life.
so i attended the meet, groggy and all. i didn't do too bad. i expected whatever my results were...sooo monday came way too fast. i went to school, feeling like shit BECAUSE whenever i get particularly drunk, and then the next morning i have sports, my hang over waits until the following day after my sports. so monday was a hang-over-full day....and (wait for this) I GOT FEVER!! what d'y' know..i'm not super woman after all. which is truly ironic because i was wearing a superman tshirt today in school. haha

true story of my life. tsk.
ps. one word= tryg littlefield (okay, two)

home at last

So, i'm back from the del Castello meeting in Bellinzona (Friday through Sunday), with a foot that needs to be operated on, and hurting head and a terrible (but brewed) fight with my dad. This won't be a long post as i desperately have to study for math - exam tomorrow.
Hannah and Ella will be here at 2-ish and we'll form a cool little study group!
In the meantime, i have to get some work done myself, now that i'm all cried out and full-up. Songs to listen to:
I Miss You- Blink 182
Lovers In Japan / Reign Of Love - Coldplay
Heart of Glass - Blondie


And a picture of good times to make us all feel better about it being a tuesday tomorrow
