My life Sense Then

So, a super long time later I am sitting on my bedroom floor on a new laptop, with a really new life. If you have been with me for a while then you will remember my little boy Jakie. If you do remember him then you may also remember that he had COPD which is a respiratory thing that makes it so you can't breath well. This had been a little bit of a problem for quite some time, but a couple months before school ended he got sick. Really sick. My boy could no longer sit on the couch in his favorite place, or play with his tennis balls. He couldn't even jump up on to the couch. The time had come. Those twenty-four hours were probably one of the hardest days I had to live through. It was those hours that I had to listen to him couch and hack and whine at the pain he was in. The next day he got put down and cremated. *sob*
Now, almost a year later I have a new doggy named Jasper who is my other baby, but don't worry, Jakie is still my baby too. Anyway, my dad also moved out to Ohio, and I went back to my local middle school. 8th grade now, so only 31 weeks until I graduate from middle school. Baxter I am on my way! I have started a booktubing project with my best friend, and we are going to be very active on that. If you are ever bored try to find me:) Hint, my new doggy's name... I will try to come back and write soon, but until then enjoy life, and read on.

200 FREE

Last meet I swam my first 200 free. That is 8 lengths. I was super nervous before, but I practiced it a lot, and had friends time me. I got 2nd place in my heat when I actually swam it. I am so proud!!! I am usually an average swimmer, and I don't really ever get 2nd place, or 3rd for that matter.

ON my team we have a whole bunch of really gifted swimmers who are usually in high school. Clique center! I was racing against one of those swimmers, but I didn't know it until my last length, when I had just sped up, and I saw her right next to me in the lane. I swam faster than I ever have before, and I almost won!!!!! She beat me by like a hundredth of a second!!!!! This is now my favorite event ever!!! I am swimming it at states this year, which is a huge meet where every team in maine competes against each other for the winning flag! My team is super good, and we haven't lost a state meet in about 20 years. We did lose summer states last year but we were really close. So good luck all other teams, and "may the odds be ever, in your favor!"

Long time no read

I know I haven't written anything in a very long time, and that is because swim has picked up of the state meet, school has had my attention, and lots of family stuff. I know that sounds like a lot of excuses (and it definitely is) but I just haven't gotten around to writing anything. So this is just a quick excuse write, but I am writing more today I promise!

The Watson's go to Birmingham-1963 By: Christopher Paul Curtis

This is a short section form the book, which I have to write from a different perspective for school. I thought I might as well write it here.

I was walking with Buphead, when I saw Kenny and Rufus sitting on the curb of the road, with a very stricken look in the posture. I got closer and realized that Kenny was crying. "What you cryin' about, Punk?" I asked him, trying to act cool. Kenny explained to me that his nemesis/old friend Larry Dunn had stolen his other pair of leather gloves Mamma gave to us. I then saw a perfect opportunity to be a good big brother, and to humiliate Larry in front of the entire school. I"Where's he at?" I asked Kenny.
"Washing kid's faces over by the school." He said sniffling like a little baby....

Hope you enjoyed☺
