How was everyone's Monday? Good I hope! Mine was! I woke up alive and excited,(except for that grumbling feeling of "Oh no, it's monday :'( ) because today was our first swim meet for my school swimming team and I was in the first relay! So I woke up and then made my lunch :( But not even that could ruin my morning :) Then we move on to getting to school......

Courtyard/Library:
This morning, it was raining so everyone in our grade had to go to the library to stay there so we wouldn't get wet. Also, I was dressed in dressy clothes for swimming! Of course my awesome  friends commented on how "pretty" I looked :) Then, we just talked and chilled till the bell rang.

First Period:
We had a substitute so all we did was complete three worksheets on WW2 and then we could read,draw,etc. It was alright because it took us most of the period to finish.

Second Period:
We just watched an interesting video the whole time from Planet Earth. It was a little interesting because it should how animals catch their prey and also how some animals grow. Then, we checked over our worksheets and I got a 100%! The bell rings for third period and excitement rushed throughout my body!

Third Period:
I meet one of my BFFLS (Best friends for life) in the hallway and we walk together to drama. Once we get there my friends and I talk about stuff and laugh like we always do. Then, we finish watching pantomime skits that we had thought of and put together. They were a little interesting and as soon as you saw the first skit. we were already heading for fourth period!

Fourth Period:
Today, I worked on photoshop (as usual) and tried using some new tools. To read more about this class, please check out my other post: "Fourth Period." We saw some clips of a video to help kids conquer cancer that will be played in our school later this week. We went to lunch, and I ate the best green grapes I ever had!

Fifth Period:
We finished reading our book, Johnny Tremain and started working on these character sheets that went with the story. This teacher that I have for language arts is also my coach for swimming! So while I was there I also received the team bathing suit! It is like a red tie-dye design!

Sixth Period:
We had the same substitute again from Friday and were able to finish our test. Of course my friends and me didn't have to. ;) We did a worksheet after that and my friend and me left the class early for the meet!

Swim Meet:
Immediately we changed into our swimsuits and got into cars and drove, drove, drove! Once we there we took a team picture and then started practicing! Then, since I was in the first group, I waited till the person before me came and I quickly jumped into the warm water! Excitement was pouring everywhere and I was drilling through the water! It felt like I was gliding over it! Before I knew it I was back and I wasn't even tired! I felt so happy and thrilled!

That's what happened today at school! See you tomorrow for another "Real Deal".
