First Meet and Cold Feet

Friday was Gunn's intrasquad meet. I was looking foward to it as much as I look foward to every single practice. The day started out great. Friday morning practice was optional and I had a prep first period, so I slept in. Next period was video production, where the teacher pushed the due date of our project to Monday. Desun and I were already finished, so we just went on youtube the whole period. At the end of the period, some kids in our class found a mike turned on some music and started doing karyoke. The day was pretty average from there until swimming. After school I got changed and headed to the pool. They told us it started at 3:30, but it was 3:20 and everyone was swimming. I sighed, hopped in the pool and did my 15-20 minute meet warmup. Then I did some dives and sprints and was was done with warmup. I got out and notice Tarina was watching. I really had no one to hang out with so I hung out with her. (She had originally come because Ben asked her to, but who wants to see Ben? She said ew everytime she saw him.) While waiting on the deck for my first event, I had no shoes. The ground was an extremely rough cement, and felt like spikes. It was also cold, and soon my feet were numb. After a while Juliet and Ranier came, so I had more people to talk to. Then I heard my name called. My race was about to start and I wasn't there. Normally this isn't terrible but our coaches had a bet to see if everyone could make their races. I made the coach saying we could lose. I ran, grabbed my goggles, and rushed to my starting block. With adrenalin pumping, I jumped in the pool and started my freestyle as the buzzer went off. I could feel my feet still numb in the water. I zoomed across the pool and back. Before I knew it it was over, and I got first. I also shaved 2 seconds off my fastest time. I got out and my towel was wet and freezing. I was shivering. Time passed and soon I had my other race, breaststroke. I made sure I didn't miss it, but I got second or third. I got out and my towel was even colder. Soon my feet started turning blue. It took until, 6:30 but finally the meet was over. But I wasn't done. We have to do the Gunn warmdown which is so stupid. I had to do 5 times what I did in racing. I had to get wet again and cold. Why do we have to do it?!? Anyway, after was a potluck, then I went to Asun's suprise party. It was a blast, and I'm sure he loved his present. I left at about 10 and went to bed around 12:30. Next week, we are up against Paly. But my Gunn suit didn't come yet, so I have to wear my green one...
