I don't think I have ever been as nervous to any exam in my life as I was with my Beach Nationals exams. My throat and mouth were dry, I couldn't breathe properly and at first, i did awful. I thought I was going to fail. I had been training all summer and had made the time the day before in practice but when the real test was there, I missed the time by 12 seconds. I was freaking out, and I didn't think that I could do any better anymore. The instructor told me to do it again and I had to do the test over again like 6 minutes later. The test is, run 100 m, swim 100m and then tow someone back 100m all in under six minutes. Well, I tried again and everyone was really encouraging me, even swimming beside me for part of the way. And guess what? YEP! I made it, my time was 5:27!! I don't think I have ever been so relieved as I was after I found out I made the time. I actually cried like a big idiot...
So ya, I'm a national beach lifeguard now or whatever you wanna call it. I can work on a cruise ship next summer or something like that. :D

Happy to cry... Joan of Arcadia made me cry ... again... It was such an amazing episode. There were so many little things to catch and I prolly missed some. But the whole part how Judith made the guy memorize Hamlet for her (tragedy where leading female dies) and just as he is finished it, she herself dies. And how Joan can always keep a part of Judith with her and just so many things. That show is soo good to me because it is really moving and it makes you think (as well as cry if you are like me). I am happy to cry because I can actually feel something. Experiencing something through a television. Before I was thinking about what it would be like to be someone else with a different kind of life. It just feels like I am not feeling enough right now. I know I am actually experiencing a lot and to use the simile katie did, it is "just like the earth is always moving but we never feel it". But I want to feel it. It's like something is missing. Lately I feel as if I have...

Lethargic... That's the perfect word to describe how I've been feeling. School starts tomorrow. I have to wake up at 7... ugggh. At least I finish at 10:30. After I have to go to the bank to pay my tuition and then pick up my two new pairs of glasses. I'm not even sure if they look nice but I just didn't feel like shopping around anymore. The place with the pair i really liked was closed but where I went I ended up getting two pairs for less then it would have cost for the one. So meehh. One of them is pink tho so that's pretty funky. I'll take a cam pic if I can figure out how to work my cam. That's why i've had this old one up forever, I don't know how to make it jpg after i take it instead of uhhh whatever the other one is. Man I'm bloody tired.

Man i'm so grumpy now. I was going to go to my dancing thingy tonight but I really just feel like crawling under my covers and hiding (and watching the oc) . Bad me, yes I know. I had my stats mid term today. I'm pretty upset about it. I studied so much and did so much work for that test and it was the easiest questions ever. SO much wasted time. Like the questions were things I was already answering in highschool, simple standard deviation and z scores and like mean and median. Ok well some stuff was mildly tougher but still. And the thing is, I totally fucked it up anyways. I knew it all but ok... let's start from the beginning. I was on time to get my bus but it got every fucking red light possible and went SOOO slow that i ended up being 5 minutes late for class. Then i was reading the question and I missed the one had lots of parts so I thought I had so much more time then I actually did. And so I was answering the questions and then realized I had no time and tried t...
