LAST HOUSE SWIMMING :D

I actually enjoyed it for the first time in my life...and I actually swum (or is it swam?) in it for the first and last time in my life :D House swimming always depresses me, because I see all the little year 6's swimming 50m in half a minute and I ALWAYS think of how pro I used to be...and then I think of how much I hated it and I feel better :P

Spent most of the day timekeeping with Juliette...I was super lucky that my timekeeping lane was also my house lane, so I could scream for my lane without looking like an idiot :D Mrs Bryant was flipping out in the beginning because she couldn't figure out how to read the scoreboard thing and she refused to believe what I was saying when I explained to her how to read it HAHA

photo interlude (uploading is such a quality killer grr)





I took a break and took more photos with/of people, ate a muffin and boring things like that...went back to timekeeping and RIGHT at the end of it, the other Soph comes up to me and tells me I have to swim the final open relay

WHAT!!

I knew I was in the race, but I figured the captains knew I was timekeeping and found someone to swim for me :( Sara offered to swim for me in the morning, but it turns out she had to replace someone else in the same relay

SO I RAN TO MY BAG, RAN WITH THE BAG TO THE CHANGE ROOM, RAN DOWN THE STAIRS TO THE MARSHALLING AREA

God I was tired from running...and I had to swim a race

I got screamed at by multiple teachers and official people because I didn't go around the back for marshalling...WELL SORRY! I'VE NEVER DONE THIS BEFORE! So even though I had walked all the way around the front, they made me turn back and walk around hahaha

We came third in the relay :) Georgia's bathers were so unelastic they were tied up at the back with a lackaband...she hadn't swum since year 6 either, so both of us were around the same speed I think...the other people were in Year 10, which is embarrasing HAHA

Overall, our house came last HAHAHAHA...but I blame the number of people who forfeited their relays...pissed me off so bad, because if you don't swim a race, that's like...10 points gone =__=
