Sick?
So half my XC team is sick with a stomach virius and keeping with team unity it just keeps spreading. I can only hope I am not next.

It has been awhile old friend
It has been quite a long time since I have posted about my life. So much has happened so I guess reviewing some main points would be easiest.
*I turned 21- Drinking is not nearly as glamorous or fun as shown on tv. Perhaps, it is just the type of drinking that is done here which is binge. Binge drinking seems very popular but there are so many downsides. First of all, it isn't healthy. Binge drinking usually leads to stupid mistakes that make you look like an idiot. Needless to say, I am sticking with the mantra "Everything is moderation".
*I haven't broken 21:00- I have ran as low as 21:14 for a 5k but have failed to break the 21 barrier. It is getting late in the season and I want to do it this year. I keep thinking that there has to be some type of secret. According to the book "Once a Runner"- well the secret is there is no secret. I am just going to continue to work hard and pray that I will be able to break it. There are only 3 more meets to do left in the season. Despite the setback of time, I am having a wonderful time. I really enjoy the team with Cross Country. The team enviroment is so lacking in track due to different events. We might get annoyed sometimes with each other but we all love each other on the most basic level. Oh, xc does have some more perks, we raced in Charleston yesterday and I got to enjoy an hour or two on the beach.
*I have no water- So the Landlady is nuts pretty much. Both pipes have either busted or leaked in both of out bathrooms. The first one happened about a week ago and she said it was not top of her list to get it fixed. The other one happened yesterday, we have contacted her yet she has yet to contact us. Due to this lack of communication, I had my Dad call her ( yes, I pulled the Daddy card). She chewed him out and then hung up on him. He waited an hour or so and called back. She said he had no "horse in this race" since his name was not on the lease. Considering, he is the one that pays the rent, he was convinced he did. She told him the plumber would be out tomorrow at 9 but she has yet to talk to us. She is just so disrespectful. The plumber just better be here tomorrow.
So that is where I am right now.

We are all Roman..
Are we Rome?
Perhaps
Will we fall?
Perchance
Will history repeat?
Perhaps, perchance it won't
