I'M DONE!! I am officially finished with swimming. There have been a lot of mixed feelings going into this in the past year, but I know I am ready and I am glad about my overall decision. I am going to miss the sport eventually and I know I will be back in the water one of these days, but it will probably be a while before I am ready. I have been feeling a little sad, I've been doing it for so long, but right now I couldn't be more excited. This team just wasn't working out for me. Goodbye swimming, we had a good 17 or so years together!
Besides that nothing else going on really, just getting ready for the end of the semester and to cram for finals...we'll see how that goes.
I just felt like expressing my feelings real quick and now it is time to celebrate! I will write more later.
PEACE.

Heavy head
I have decided to write myself to sleep tonight. I sure hope it works because nothing else seems to do the trick.
Besides the fact that my stomach is making noises that sound like they are coming from my arm, I am doing just dandy. Well maybe not dandy, I am feeling a bit overwhelmed. There is a shitload of stuff to do over the next two weeks, and I am going to have a pull a miracle out of my ass to get myself out of this 15 foot hole I dug for myself. Not a comfortable hole to be in at all. Especially when my mom is going to want to fill it while I'm still in there when she finds out my grades. But since this is no longer high school and I am now a mature and well respected college student I think I can find a way to be responsible and hide my grades as long as possible from my mom. I am going to be a great adult.
Ok, now it is time for a little narrative. It shall be titled "Jessica's fall break" (I know not creative at all, but I figured Jessica's time away from the doomed and fiery wrath of hell was a little dramatic):
The school bell rang late Friday afternoon and Jessica threw her papers and shouted for joy as she ran all the way home to eat homemade cookies, hot cocoa and spiced ginger cake.
Haha, just kidding of course.
I don't even remember what I did on Friday. O wait, it's coming back. I decided with my excellent grades and all I would give myself the day off in two of my classes. I slept in because I saw the wonderful Harry Potter the night before (I know I already talked about this a little...) and Kristin and I ventured to the wonderful student center where we dined quite nicely with Panda Express. Then there was practice and a Friday night movie and all that stuff...cleaning Saturday and the Sat night movie and all that stuff...Sunday Lauren and I went shopping and had a nice long chat at Noodles and Company afterwards which was really good. Then I came home and did nothing... I think.
Ok so this writing myself to sleep is pretty much working. I have officially bored myself to sleep. But I must continue on with my story. I apologize to my readers, this must be awful. Ok switching story mode to third person.
Jessica began her official fall break on Monday afternoon with an invigorating swim practice at Moby arena. Who knows what else she did. After all, according to her father she is lazy and is probably going to get fat.
Tues she woke up and ate and thought about homework, yet did not get to it before her and her roommate headed up to the most exciting place of all time:
Wyoming.
Where she swam in two incredible C and B relays and then rode the bus back home after pizza hut.
She began Wednesday morning with a lovely swim practice at the student recreation center pool, which she has learned to loathe. Then her and Lauren drove back to Denver for the beginning of the REAL break. Jessica went to lunch with her youngest brother and then sat around until her buddy Kristin came over and they hung out, ate and later met up with other various people for a late night movie called Rent. Good acting, good singing, just three hours of her life she will never get back.
Thursday of course was turkey day where she went to her aunt's house and hung out with the family. There she participated in a ping pong tournament, ate everything in sight, took a walk, took a few drives with the cousins, watched part of a dollar game and part of a movie, and bonded with the family.
Needless to say she was quite tuckered from a long day of eating and sitting around, so she ended her day by watching a movie with her brother.
Friday was a day that will always be remembered: Jessica went to the library over break! Mark it down in history!
Then a nice dinner was had with her great and loyal friend Ashley. Later she was visited by her friend Ryan and later her friend Alex.
Ok I'm sick of third person. Switching back.
Saturday I went and swam with Lauren for a bit, then had lunch with my brother and Alex, then got my haircut (with my moral supporter, Lauren), then went shopping with my grandma, then to coffee with Chris, then to IHOP with Ryan after he helped me with some homework.
Sunday I just sat around until Lauren and I headed back to the fort.
So that's it folks. I am pretty much bored to tears. It's pretty painful to write, I can't imagine how it would be to read.
I had more I wanted to say, but I can't take the torture of this horrendous writing any longer so I will make it as brief as possible.
Announcements:
No more lifting at 6 am ever again!
Possibly wearing a fast skin at my last meet
I hope to pick up running in the near future
Katie's fish got caught in the filter and died the next day
Both of Jen's fish froze to death since our house was 40 degrees last week
IPOD is my big Christmas wish this year
I can't fall asleep unless my feet are warm
That's all the announcements for now. Now what we've all been waiting for...COUNTDOWN!
4 more days of swimming left...ever
9 days until finals
18 days until break!
1 month and three weeks till the big 2-0
Don't hold me to those exact numbers, I counted them really fast in my head. And now I am going to finally go to bed. This is a good bedtime exercise, I should do this more often. Or maybe not, that would just kill us all.
Goodnight finally.
