Art Day!

Today is the 24th of June.

My Dad has been gone to Hamburgh, Germany since Sunday. I have not heard from him, though. He is supposed to come back on Saturday.

I've been busy swimming...swimming...and swimming. This is my first year on a swim team. It has been pretty hard, but also fun. I go everyday except for Sundays. This last Saturday was my first Swim Meet. Our team won! Yay! Go Flippers (the name of our team)! But, the other team was pretty even with us...until it got to the relays! I swam backstroke and breaststroke. I got fourth place in both of them. In backstroke, I beat my record by 11 seconds...which is to me, a BIG improvement. In breaststroke, I beat my records by 4 or 5 seconds. I've been improving a lot in the past couple weeks. I have gotten to know a few people on the team. Last night, Monday, at around 6, we went to Centerville for my 1st Monday Night Meet. This meet is where we play people that our not in our division, and is mainly for records...so it is not as consiquensial. But, unfortunately, we heard thunder so it was delayed to 45 minutes later...but then, we were on our way in...when we heard more thunder, so therefore it was delayed another 45 minutes. Then, it started to sprinkle, so the other team's coach decided to prospone it to today, Tuesday. So, we went to Mannassas to visit Melina and Eric (originally planned), since we were already almost there. It Was SUNNY over there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So, if we waited like fifteen more minutes at the pool, the storm would already had passed...but it was too late, now. We saw a beautiful rainbow...it was all the way around and you could see the colors so perfectly. Are not God's Creations so beautiful? And, it's pretty sad because I can't go to the prosponed one that is today, because I have an Art Class.

My Art Class is twice a month. It is taught by the same teacher who taught Chris drawing. It is almost the same thing that Chris did over the year, but this class is during the summer. 7 other people are taking the class, too. I am the youngest in the class, though. This is my second class.

So, that is soon and I have to get ready. So, I must go.
Thanks for visiting my blog. Feel free to leave any comments or questions.
I will try to write daily.
