Absent From School

This entire past week I was absent from six and a half classes. On Tuesday I had the Regional Diving Meet so I left school at 1 o'clock during the middle of Spanish. So not only did I miss half of Spanish but also I missed all of Physics. The meet went pretty well. I recieved a fourth place accolade out of nine divers and I will find out tomorrow night if my score was good enough to send me to the State Diving Meet.

Then on Wednesday, my day was going off without a hitch until a got a massive migrain during the middle of a big chemistry test. Luckily, I was able to finish the test before I went to the nurse. This was the first time I have ever been to the nurse at this school. She was very nice and gave me an Advil and told me to come back in a half and hour if the Advil didn't help. So I walked back up to my chemisty class and put my head down, praying the pain would go away. But, it didn't so, I went back to the nurse and she called my mom so she could come get me. The headache was the worst pain I have ever felt in my head and I wouldn't have gone home if I felt like I could have stayed at school because I didn't want to miss anymore of my classes and get even more behind. It turned out that I ended up missing all of Spanish and Physics.

On Thursday I was able to make it through the entire day of school and recieve all of the assignments I had missed. I found out that I had a ton of work to do and I was forced to tell all of my teachers, except my first block English teacher, that I wasn't going to be in school the next day because I had the Regional Swim Meet Preliminaries. So I got all the work I would miss and went on my way for the day.

On Friday I went to school for my first block class and then I was off to the swim meet. In the meet I swam the 200 IM which is 50 meters of each stroke and a very tiring race. It was fun though because I was able to win the heat that I was in. This was a huge meet and this race was only third race and my next race was the eleventh race. The next race was the 400 Freestyle Relay which is a relay race of four swimmers where each swimmer swims 100 meters doing freestyle. Our relay did really well and qualified in the top 12 for the region so all the members of that relay got to come back the next day and swim again along with all the other swimmers from our team that swam really well.

Saturday was generally the same as Friday except for the fact that I got to sleep in and then arrive at the swim meet a little late because I didn't have to swim until the last race. I swam excellent and did my best split that I have ever done, swimming the 100 meters I had to swim in 1 minute.
