because when i arrive, i bring the fire.

It's amazing how fast the year is going by. As I go through the days, it seems as though they are going so slowly, yet all of a sudden it's October 20th. Bucknell is in 4 weeks, and that's the end of my fall semester of meets. I'm sure it will go by even slower however because we don't have a training trip this year, but because exams are later than usual, it might just feel the same.

I had a killer Day One set today. The best I've ever swam it, most likely. I can't decide if it was because I swam with the boys and I felt no pressure or if I really just had a great set. We'll see tomorrow I guess, when we do Day Two and I'm back with the girls.

ECU this weekend. This will be the test of where we are compared to last year I think. William and Mary was a test also, but because we lost to ECU last year, and only by 14 points, we've got something to prove to them. This is going to be a total mental meet, not so much physical, because I think physically we are there.

Caps had a minor setback this past weekend, losing to the Devils. Both teams battled hard, but Brodeur is amazing and the Caps are incapable of winning a shootout.

Little things here and there are making it hard for me to concentrate. Boys that I shouldn't be thinking about. No good boys. I don't know why I fixate on the ones that are bad for me. And the whole senioritis thing. Because I definitely feel it. This is the last hard semester for me because the spring is going to be a joke with my classes that mean nothing for my major. I just need to do good in these classes right now, but it's so hard.
