| Top Flight |
Hello friends. Let's go over what's happened the past few days.
The summer swimming schedule started on Tuesday. Now my summer will be filled with two hour swimming goodness. I will leave it up to the reader to decide whether that last comment was sarcastic or not.
I also started my summer job on Tuesday. People have tried to tell me it's not a real job because I'm working for my mom, but I beg to differ. I don't even see her the entire time Gracie and I work. We're really helping Lisa and Kathy do stuff.
On Wednesday, swimming was canceled due to lightning. Dang it. I want that kinda stuff to happen when I'm starting to get sick of practice- not on the 2nd day.
My dad and Gracie flew to Dallas to receive an award for State Recognition on the SAT. Richard, William, and I all got the same award when we were in seventh grade. My mom jokes that instead of having a trifecta, we've had a quadrifecta. Anyway, when you disregard the writing portion on Gracie's test, I had the highest overall score, but Grace came the closest to National Recognition. If she had gotten two more correct answers on the English part, she would've made it.
Anyway, since Grace was in Dallas, I went to work alone. Lisa had me start on shredding the old charts. We're borrowing my aunt's shredder to make it go faster. It can take up to about 20 sheets at a time and can go through staples and paperclips. Our shredder says it can take up to 15 sheets at a time, but due to problems we've had, we only do 3. So I spent quite awhile on those charts. I managed to fill up 4 large trash bags and yet I've barely made a dent in the huge piles of charts. I thought it was pretty fun though.
Yesterday, we had plenty of fun jesting about Abby's tan at swimming. Once you go black, you NEVER go back. I didn't go to the office; there wouldn't be a point. My mom had two surgeries meaning she wouldn't be spending much time, if any at all, at her office. I spent my time watching the National Spelling Bee. That was pretty exciting. I was really hoping the girl from Amarillo would win, but when she got out, I wanted Saryn Hooks to win. It really cool how she was reinstated after the judges realized they had made a mistake. Sadly, she only got 3rd. After she was out, I wanted the Canadian girl, Finola, to win. She got 2nd. Dang it.
I'm not a very good speller.
Every morning this week, I've woken up at about 5:30 feeling really excited and can't get back to sleep. I want to sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep. As if I don't already have enough sleeping problems. =_=
I'm the only one capable of getting ready for swimming on time. Grace sits in front of the tv wasting time and my dad walks out of his room when we should be in the car leaving and says he still needs to make his coffee. This is very frustrating.
So swimming wasn't particularly eventful this morning. Some parents brought doughnuts, so I gave my to Grace (which she then shared with our cousins).
Grace was too tired to go to the office, so I went alone. I'm definately going to make sure she does all the filing next Monday since the amount to do today was far above average. I also managed to fill two more trash bags with old charts. Unfortunately, my mom figues out too late that she has too keep OB charts a lot longer than the normal ones. There's a chance I've already shredded some. Since I was only shredding the ones from '94 and '95, there shouldn't be too many though.
William's grades came in this week. He still has a perfect 4.0 from his classes at UT. I'm happy for him and everything...but why the heck did he have to go raising the bar like that!?
Driver's Ed starts Monday. Bleh! The only good thing about it is that it provides a good excuse for not going to afternoon practice.
That's all for now kiddies!

I watched the spelling bee too! And I wanted those same people to win, but then that khaki girl won, and I felt sad.
I'm having an identity crisis.
