So I just kinda wanted to brag about myself a little bit. Haha. Just kidding. But I swim the midterm half mile (18 laps in 30 minutes...and a lap is down and back) on October 15th (in basically like 15-16 days). I've really been trying hard to get better, so every day that I have class I go in anywhere from a half hour to an hour early and just swim. Well, today as I
was doing my warm up (and a lot more than what was required for warm up...we only had to swim 8 laps for warm up) I was able to swim about 14 laps in about 40 minutes...but I also just wasted about 15 minutes doing nothing b/c I was done with the required laps and didn't know what else to do. If I had actually kept going, I would've been able to easily get 18 laps in 30 minutes. I'm so proud of myself! Plus, today has proved to me that I am able to do things that even seem impossible. At the beginning of the semester (like the first day) when Phil (our coach) told us what we'd be doing for our midterm, I freaked! Luckily as I talked with Anna, she reassured me that if I worked hard in class I'd do okay. Well, I certainly will be okay!!! I'm so glad I took this class...I've already lost about 4 pounds just from swimming! I don't think I'll be gaining that freshman fifteen til next semester ;) Just kidding.

That's awesome, Hannah! I know you'll do great on your midterm. Swimming is the best sport - I miss it so much! Glad that you're seeing that swimming a half mile (& coming up at the end of the semester----a mile) isn't impossible. Hard. But not impossible if you slowly work on getting there!
I'm excited for you!!
