Oh my I can't believe that my last post 1 month ago is haha.. Swimming is so nice!!! It's still really,really rough and takes a lot of energy and time, but it just feels so good and I really like my team!
I swam my first meet last week, a 50 freestyle Relay.Nina,Sarah,Duda, Me ( in order), we lost hahah but it was fun! It feels really good to see, how you get better and improve every day! The coaches are nice but also really strict and they ask for disciplin or you can go. But I mean even when duda and me are getting better, we still need more breaks( but it really got less in the last weeks) than the other swimmers and sometimes the coaches push us so we're like dying but than we rest the next time a 50 or so. But just as I sad it feels so good to see how you get better and jesus, my muscles! I could not imagine to quit swimming because it gives me the chance to eat what I want and get not fat! Quite the opposite actually, I eat what I want and get thinner and especially more trained! I can't wait for Track season, I'll be in such a good shape! But we still have 2 months of swimming.
We have Christmas break now and me and my hostfamily are going on vacation. We're going to chicago for the first three days to celebrate christmas with Vicki's dad and aunt and after that we meet the rest of the family and drive up to wisonsin, skiing. I'm looking forward to see new places and especially to ski for my first time but it also annoys me that I won't be here for the whole break. I really want to do any fun stuff with my friends here and the really bad thing is that I'll miss a lot of swim practices and we're having a home meet the first day we get back to school (January 2)... Aunt Linda has an indoor pool, so I'll take my swim stuff with me and then I'm going to swim for maybe an hour a day and I'll try to make some dry land (yeah, we really call it dry land, that's weight lifting,fitness) stuff..We're coming back next Sunday and then I have like two days I can spend with my friends and then is new year's eve ahhhhhhhhhh!
Oh my New Year's eve in america..Poor me.. hahaha well I hope someone is giving a party or so, as long as I can hang out with friends I'm okay, but New Year's eve without partying and then spending it with your family?! Sorry, but no way! That would be too much for me,sorry...!
Well I hope you guys are all alright and have a great christmas break and a happy new year!!!
I miss you guys a lot but I could not imagine to leave the states now because I really love my family here and my friends and I just feel so sorry for my friends who have to go back to Germany now..I hope y'all had a great time in the States!
