Swimming in Macedonia

My parents, my coach, my younger brother and I went to Skopje, Macedonia for a swim meet; the coach from the Albanian swim-team had invited us to go.

So, we left on Friday and sat in the car for like 5 hours until we got there.

Then, on Saturday, we had to get up at 7am and get to the pool by 8 for warm-up. And there were so many people there. The pool was so cramped for warm-up it was horrible. It was a 50m pool btw. 

On Saturday, I had to swim two events; 50m backstroke and 50m freestyle (my specialty haha). Since the swim meet was divided into two parts, I had one event in the morning, the other one in the evening.

When we finished on Saturday, I was so tired, I almost fell asleep while eating dinner.

On Sunday I had my 100m freestyle. And omg after I finished I was like dead. I could barely walk after I got out of the pool. 

Since neither my brother or I had to swim anything after that, we left and drove 5 1/2 hours back home.

Overall results:

50m backstroke - placed 29th out of 70

50m freestyle - placed 21st out of 117

100m freestyle - placed 20th out of 68

Tadaaa~

Football, Soccer, Or However You May Call It

I'm just gonna call it soccer for now since I'm kind of americanized. 

So, we had a soccer match against EK today. Well, i think the school's name was EK. Hm... Yeah, I'm pretty sure. Btw, my swim coach teaches at that school haha

But back to the actual topic: we had a soccer match against EK.

And it was soooo cold and the field was outside and we were all wearing shorts and short sleeves. Anyway, we (our girl's team; I was defense) won 9:2 against the EK girls ;)

Yes, we are awesome. 

And then the guys played and our team lost 4:0. But they did a good job, so who cares :)

Them apparently since they were super mad about not even scoring one goal. But whatever.

And the girls were all cheering for the guys while they played and it was sooo cold, so I just stole Forrest's and Michael's sweater. Then I was wearing like 3 sweaters and then it was nice and warm :D

haha

I would post pictures but I don't have any yet. Sorry.

The Omen

So I watched 'The Omen' the other day and I fell in love with Damien, who is the Devil's son in the movie. He is soooo adorable and he's got such beautiful eyes. And I decided I want to have a cute kid like him.
Well, two actually. Because I want twins haha

Hello.

I've wanted to start a blog for a long time but I either didn't know how to start or I was just lazy.

So, finally, I started a blog :)
