Swimmer For Life

My alarm goes off at 5:10 AM. I get dressed, eat breakfast and my dad drives me too swimming. At 6:15 the coach said, "When you're ready do a 32 lap warm up! ...Come on!" He must have said come one over ten times before I had the courage to strip down into my bathing suit and dive into the pool. You'd expect it to be freezing, but I found it quite warm. The warmth only lasted a minute. Soon I was shivering so much my teeth were chattering. At least I was somewhat warm swimming. It seems like swimming is a constant war between being cold and tired. After a few laps my sides ached and I was breathing so heavily. But I dare not stop. After my 32 laps I rested, but in seconds cold washed over me. Should I continue swimming and become even more exhausted or rest and become even more cold? I felt like the only one that was cold, for everyone else had no expression and didn't shiver. Halfway through practice my stomach felt sick. I kinda felt like a had to puke. Finally it was over, at 7:18. I jumped out, shivering violently. But the ground felt like ice, and soon my feet were numb. I manage to run to the locker room ready for a nice, warm shower. But I was greeted by a cold shower. Soon I managed to put on my clothes and wait for my friends, my hair wet in the cold and still shivering. eventually people came and some friends gave me there sweaters and jackets. And so the day proceeded. The cold soon wore off, but I was extremely exhausted. I could barely concentrate in any class. Lunch came, where many of my friends gave me sympathy. Near the end, a certain someone that many seem to hate for some reason wacked me across the face with his sweatshirt sleeve. It hurt a lot and a had a ringing in my right ear for over an hour. On the way to my next class I tried holding back the tears. Even I didn't know why I was crying. Was I too tired? Was I too cold? Was I too hurt? A few tears fell, but I managed to get over it Through out F period it sounded like white noise because of the ringing. Finally school ended. On the bus I tried sleeping, but couldn't because people kept poking me. I got home, and went straight to bed sleeping until 6:15 PM. I ate dinner, and now I am waiting for my girlfriend to come over and cheer me up. I swear, if it wasn't for her... Anyway, I'll probably go to sleep early because I got to wake up early again for swimming.
