track warm ups + steep grass hills = perfect sliding fun!

well, well it has been yet another week of no sleep and tons of homework, but nonetheless still a fun one. i believe that i got a total of 7 hrs of sleep with monday night and tuesday night combined...haha so wednesday was definitely an interesting time. especially when one has a track meet :)

jumping i didn't do so hot...only 4'6", but the track meet was still fun. kinda. it was up in brentwood, so at 1:15 we all found ourselves packing onto the bus to head up there. since seating was minimal i had to sit next to someone i didn't know, which was fine, but we just didn't talk much. the ipods went in the ears and within five minutes of trying to do my chemistry homework i was out. didn't even wake up when we got there. hannah started calling my name and i still was dead asleep. then the girl i'm sitting next to has to start poking me in order to make me wake up. unfortunately my nap didn't help, but just made me more groggy and tired. boo! oh well, by the end of the meet i got over it and began sliding down hills. so the brentwood track is surrounded by a giant slope all the way around with the field and track in the middle. the slope is covered with that really long slick grass stuff that grows in little patches. anyone know what i'm talking about? well, anyways considering the incline, slick terrain and warm ups with the type of material that slides well, what else was i supposed to do? actually ryan went down first and then matt and i followed. we must have looked pretty funny sliding down a hill head first on our stomachs....ah, never a dull moment.

today was a good day as well. nothing too interesting. i made cup-cakes! that was fun and smelled delicious. i didn't even eat one and was still bouncing off the walls. i had a solo dance party in my house while my family was gone. yes it is the new cool thing to dance alone, in case you didn't know. just turn some music on and let the beat take you away. :) this was also my last day being 16. yes indeed tomorrow is my 17th birthday. yay! tomorrow will be good. can't go wrong with a half day, a birthday and JSB.

we'll hopefully i shall have some pictures to put up soon.
good night, friends! :)
