Just catchin' up

Hey so to anyone who reads this, I am sorry that I haven't blogged in a while! I never have to time to blog because of my crazy busy schedule! I have school, crew, homework, regatta every other Saturday, more homework, and I try to spend at least some time with my friends, boyfriend, and family. Whew! But on the upside, after all of the arguments and the drama and the ugly near breakup, I am back with Michael and we are basically 100x better than we were, which is nice. It is still hard and we have some ugly moments occasionally, but that comes with stress and exhaustion. Like when we just spend time together, we are really happy. Did I mention that on April 9th, we will have been together for two years? Yeah, I am excited! And if you want to know the full story of what happened, then I will tell you personally, not online where anyone and everyone could read it. Anyway, sorry about the rambling about Michael. Now on to other things, well school is just terrible right now and crew is getting really tough because we are getting prepared for our next couple regattas and then regionals which are the middle of May. Random fact, I got my hair cut! Incase you didn't already know. It is so short now! Some people didn't notice, but I cut off several inches and I notice a huuuuuuge difference! Before:



And after:


Anyway, so other than cutting my hair, which isn't really that big of a deal, but I just realized that it takes up a huge part of this blog, nothing too much is new. I've now had my license for 6 weeks! I can listen to the radio now!! Haha it's not the law, but my mom's rule was that I wasn't allowed to listen to the radio for the first 6 weeks of having my license while I was driving alone. Anyway, on the more negative side, I am still not sleeping and it is getting worse, which has a put a HUGE negative effect on my schoolwork, so that really stinks a lot.

So overall, my life is really not interesting right now!! I just haven't blogged in a little while and I had a little bit of time so I decided that I should write a new post on my blog.

Oh and I did have my first regatta of spring season last Saturday! It was at Lake Stevens, which is about an hour north of Seattle. It wasn't much fun at first because we had to be there super early, as in we had to leave Olympia by 3:30 in the morning! So that wasn't much fun. And then I was pretty sick all morning, but the races went pretty well. Even though the water was pretty much the worst water we had ever rowed on and the wind was monstrous and it was freezing and races had to be shortened by a ton, our OAR club overall did very well! Most of the juniors were in a race that at least placed, and many of the juniors did get first place! So that was exciting. It was a long day, as in I was up for 23 hours, but it was pretty good and it went pretty well.

But I'll just say, Happy St. Patricks Day (a little late!) I hope you all wore green! Well until I can think of something new and exciting to say, I'm going to call it a night. Oh, but my thoughts go out to that woman and her son whose van got stuck and the little 8 year old boy drowned and drifted 12 miles before his body was found and the mother is still missing. Very very very tragic story! And very scary, expecially since I go near that beach where it happened every day! Anyway, good night folks!
