It's Finally Over

Time flies doesn't it? It seems so long since the last time I wrote a blog post. Of course, after all the things I've been doing, I wasn't able to find a minute to do so.
I just came back from Medellin, where I was participating in the Interleage National Swimming Championship. It was just me and my sister and the rest of the Bogota Swimming League. Most of them were really nice, but you always have to be careful with the big swimmers, especially if you are a "primiparo"(first.timer). As a matter of fact, neither one of us was a primipara, but Monica (the best breast-stroker in Colombia, not to mention the meanest  of the big swimmers) thought we were, so we were basically screwed. We would close our room door with lock and chain, in hopes we could be protected from an unexpected and unwanted baptism (all first-timers are baptized by Monica. I'm still not exactly sure what that involves-I think scissors, bleach and your hair-since last year, which was our first time, we were spared because we were hardly recognized). Fortunately, we were able to survive without major incident.
When it comes to swimming, I was extremely pleased. I broke a lot of my personal records, and I felt very proud because I saw my huge effort and sacrifice I did for the past five months were really worth it.
I forgot to mention that we were swimming in the new pool, the one that was built for the South American Games that took place there less than three months ago. It felt so great to swim in the same pool Tiago Pereira and Carolina Colorado had competed on.
After I came back, I had so much catching up to do I didn't have a second left to wink. I had to make sure I hadn't missed anything, especially since the Final Exams were coming up in a week.
Apart from that, I caught a weird case of the flu mixed with amigdalitis and a little of an asthma attack. Now that I think of it, I wonder how I survived that week at all. Well I'm still hear, right?
Things are starting to clear up a little now, since I finally finished with my Science Exam. There's still the Math Exam left, and I'm not sure if I want it to never come, or if it can just be right now so I can get it over with.
Anyway, after that I won't have to think about anything for about two months. Tomorrow, I will be free to enjoy the vacations we have all been waiting for so anxiously and we have all deserve so much.

So I bid you all good-bye and have a terrific summer!
