[ August 23rd, 2007 @ 9:11pm ] i've been working out a lot lately, getting a head start for rowing. it can never be too soon! coach and a few groupd of us crew obsessed kids have been lifing weights and really improving our strength.  today i squatted 175 pounds. i'm only 5'5, 115 pounds, mind you. i broke the school record for my weight class, haha. good thing the girl's weightlifting coach wasn't in there, or else i'd be recruited! this is going to sound so weird, but i love the feeling of being sore a day or so after a good muscle work out. i feel so accomplished and motivated to keep going. it's hard to explain. i just love being physically fit and being able to run 4-5 miles like it's no big deal. i can't WAIT for crew season to start up. i really can't. 1

[ August 23rd, 2007 @ 8:57pm ] i've realized that a sun soaked room is the best way to wake up. sorry i haven't posted in a long time, i've been really busy with school and haven't even been on the computer all that often at all. i've been at school, working out afterwards, with friends, and having fun like i should be.  sophmore year is already fun, like i expected it to be. i know a lot of people hate school, but fun is what you make it. i, personally, enjoy school...i get to socialize with my friends for 7 hours a day and better myself each and every day. get over waking up early and homework, it all means something in the long run.  (: 1

[ August 15th, 2007 @ 12:06pm ] [ music | ingrid michaelson ] i would give anything to be able to sleep on kari's couch again and stay up all night eating grapefruit. i miss her.

[ August 14th, 2007 @ 11:15am ] [ music | sublime ] i've been super creative lately, making collages left and right. i like when this happens, because i definitely feel at my "prime" when i'm creating art.  here's my two best friends, posing for me on the beach. they were like "CAN WE LOOK CUTE AND HOLD HANDS!" and i was amazed, because that's exactly what i was going to ask them to do. 2

[ August 12th, 2007 @ 7:09pm ] [ music | luke pickett ] my mother and i, of course, are arguing again. i need to learn how to not snap back at her with smart remarks when she yells, because i know it pushes her buttons, but i do it anyway. i just know exactly what to say to piss her off, and i think i sort of embrace that far too often.  last night ryan, kirk, and i went over to tim's house to hang out and eat pizza and just be us. we were there until about midnight, because i was getting exhausted. we went swimming and talked a lot, like last summer and the summer before that. i missed that a lot. ( summer's almost over! ) sorry if my countless pictures bore you! 1

[ August 10th, 2007 @ 7:24pm ] [ music | regina spektor ] my dad is making homemade vegetable soup...just for me! it smells absolutely DELICIOUS! i wish you could be in my kitchen to smell it. (: oh, i straightened my hair again! 5

[ August 9th, 2007 @ 10:09am ] not that it really matters to any of you, haha... 1. World History Honors 2. Algebra II Honors 3. Chemistry I Honors 4. Driver's Ed 5. Marketing Essentials 6. Spanish III MYP 7. English II Honors i'm thinking chemistry is going to be a little difficult, and probably spanish III, because last year in spanish II, we barely spoke English anyway. =/ 2

[ August 9th, 2007 @ 9:54am ] he called me last night at midnight and we actually had a conversation. a civilized conversation. i cleared up the rumors and he listened. we apologized and of course, had our yelling fits, but in the end, it was just good. it needed to be done. i was almost to the point of giving up, not even trying anymore because every time i tried, nothing amounted from it. i was really suprised that he even called, because he's not big on confrontations and he's rather shy when it comes to things like this. i guess he really had been thinking long and hard about it. it was too hot to row yesterday. there was no breeze whatsoever and the water was boiling hot. i couldn't tell if the sticky moisture on our bodies was more our sweat or the canal water; they both sort of blended together to form this disgusting wetness that covered our skin. it was awful. i felt so dizzy and disoriented after a 500 meter piece, which usually is an easy practice. i could barely walk up the hill to the picnic table; i felt as if i was going to pass out. the heat is just horrible. and here i am now. i woke up this morning with the feeling of a lump in my throat, back by my right tonsil. and you should hear what it sounds like when i try to talk. haha you'd definitely laugh. so i have an appointment at 2:15 today with my doctor, so i can't even go to practice if i wanted to. i hope i get better because my throat hurts when i breathe, swallow, or try to speak. argh. 10

[ August 7th, 2007 @ 9:43am ] [ music | sufjan stevens ] the heat index was 104 yesterday. and what were we doing? we were rowing for 5 hours in it. yes, you heard me correctly. 5 hours of rowing. it was insane, but i loved every minute of it. my body was drenched with a mixture of sweat and canal water; i didn't know my body contained that much sweat. i already have sportsbra and spandex tanlines, from one day of rowing!  we combined boys and girls in our boat, which was really interesting and funny. we had fun, but we definitely got serious. i'm so excited for the season to start; this is like a little preview to how amazing the season's gonna be. coach explained to us what each month of our season is going to entitle, and i really can't wait. it's going to be ridiculously hard and time consuming, but i wouldn't want it any other way.  the season starts in november, but lisa and i are going to be working out through september and october to make sure we're in our prime for conditioning and whatnot. we did it last year, and it definitely helped. 2
