life reminders for the memory-impaired.

will i make it back to shore or drift into the unknown?

I'm floating down a river,
Oars freed from their holds long ago.
Lying face up on the floor of my vessel,
I marvel at the stars
And feel my heart overflow.



Haha don't worry; I won't quit. I was just saying it came to mind :P
For I feel quite accomplished today, because I did a whole non-stop 200 meter freestyle (8 laps), which means I must be improving because I couldn't do that when I first started swim. In order to make the teams, I had to swim breaststroke. xD
But yeah.
After being worn out from swimming, Peter gave like eight people a ride to school and I experienced my first dryland.
My legs ache more than I've ever experienced. ;_;
We did like two sets of high knees, two butt-kicks xD, two sets of miserable lunges, four sprints, a lap around some of the school, two more sprints, and then like three sets of wall-sits while arms in streamline and thirty push ups and like 5 different ab work-outs and something I think they called "herpes"? O_O then three more wall sits and thirty more push ups and my legs started to cramp up and rahhh.
But I feel good :)

And today was oddly attentive to me? xD
Like when I left the faculty basketball game, Tom and Vincent and a few other people were all "BYE VY-ANH BYE LEAH I LOVE YOU" very loudly, and it was weird...but Leah and I liked it anyway, hahaha
And then when I entered the gym lobby for dryland, Sasmit, Francisco and like two other kids were like "HEY, IT'S VYANH! HI VYANHHH" also loudly.
This makes me happy, you guys. :D

"It's not hazing, ...but it's not optional.
...If that makes sense."



CLT: I hate being helped up while I'm sitting down!
So if you offer it, I'll reject.
I don't know if I've ever even accepted a helping hand when it comes to that. xD
