Sorry about the prolonged absence folks, I am fresh off of our Spring Break and Collegiate Nationals where we had a triumphant showing and got great tans. We had all of our counted routines make finals and has a strong showing in all of them. Our two soloists Laura and Christiana finished 10 and 8 respectively. Our "A" trio of Christiana, Kirsten and Jenna finished a strong 11 and Team finished 8 after a great swim in finals. As our last meet with our seniors, it was amazing to see the dedication shown to giving our all on our last swims for Jenna and Laura.
The parents that came up were incredible and super supportive, as well as gracious enough to sit at the pool for hours on end watching us swim. Dave (Jenna's dad) and Laura (Laura's mom) cooked us dinner every night, and we even had authentic Puerto Rican rice and beans.
After competition ended and we were heading back to Wheaton, some of us stayed to visit Christiana in San Diego. At the airport though those staying in San Diego (myself included) had to wait outside the kiosks at Southwest for TWO HOURS waiting for it to open up so we could check our bags, and let me tell you, we looked like hobos sleeping with our towels and bags. San Diego was incredible though! There was non-stop sun, gorgeous Californians, adorable shops and amazing cheeseburgers (just dont tell Rebecca about those).
Now it is back to the grind of daily school life and to be honest I am not sure what to do with all my time now, so I just think I have nothing to do but really I have many things to do. My midterms are over (thank goodness) and now were on our home stretch for this year.
On the flip side of being done, we are having a charity water show! Our theme is Alice in Wonderland and its for fistula, which is a debilitating disease that affects women who gave birth that do not have access to basic medical care. We had a ton of kids on campus who are going to be involved and fun games to play! It is going to be a blast and our practices are only a couple times a week until then so we can all be slowly weaned off of being in the pool all day.
I have a new movie for everyone! If you all have time you should pick up Pink Panther, I know it is old but its so great!
I will post pictures tomorrow, so be on the lookout!
Buon Suerte
