T.G.I.F. oh, wait it's thursday

honestly, not to be a downer or anything, but i don't much like valentines day. it's just like any other day to me...not really into it. the good thing about it is the fact that some of your classes do fun random things like have a party or make valentines. we had to make a valentine in spanish yesterday. the list of phrases she gave us was absolutely hilarious! they had some pretty odd ones like "you make me sweat". mine was pretty good though. it said "you are the water in my fountain! i can not live without you!" pretty great. oh, and i did get a pretty sweet gift from august. she saw it and though of me. its a tennis notebook!!! it's round and shaped like a tennis ball and green and fuzzy! i love it!

anyways...i'm SO glad it's the weekend (four day weekends are so nice)!!! it has been a pretty tough week. actually the past two weeks have been pretty brutal. i've been fighting off a cold since saturday and been super sore since monday and have had absolutely no time to catch up on any rest because of homework. unfortunately i won't have much time this weekend either. my family, from utah, is staying with us and visiting. i love having them and hanging out, but it does slightly get in the way of any down time i was really hoping for. i'll manage though.

as for track...like i said, i'm really pretty sore. it's a good thing though, but they have never made us do this much running before. we seriously have to run about an 'h' a day (on average) plus weightlifting and jumping. yeah...and i thought i was in pretty good shape...wrong! the running isn't that bad for me, it's the weightlifting that does it, but just think, by the end of the season how buff i'll be! haha! :) weird mental picture... today was good though. matt and i had to "instruct" the freshmen on what to do. actually since jessie and amy are pretty much better than i am (i've been doing it longer, but one jumps the same height and the other higher than me) they didn't need any instuction. another new freshman girl did though, so we tried to help her out some. it is quite strange being the one doing the instructing rather than taking the instruction, like in the two years past. sorta neat.

well, have a fantastic weekend everyone and a fantastic friday for those of you who it isn't the weekend for yet. i think that is some pretty bad grammar in the last sentence, but i'm not in the mood to think right now.so long!
