swimming, ughhh.

On Monday, we started swimming in gym class. We are going to be swimming for three weeks straight, jumping in the cold pool everyday. I have gym fifth hour, and as soon as we change into our bathing suits, we are jumping in, ready to swim laps. Ms. Graham makes us do freestyle, back stroke, and side stroke. It's actually kind of fun when we're swimming, and I wear goggles the whole time! (: Yesterday we had to tread water for two minutes in the deep end after we swam laps, but it wasn't hard at all. I'm really looking forward to having a free day, where we can do what ever we want and go off the diving board. The one thing that's horrible about swimming though, is after. We have about 15 minutes to get ready for our next hour after we get out of the pool. I'm sure this isn't such a problem for guys, but girls need a lot more time to get ready. It is so horrible having such a short time to shower, dry off, change into your clothes, doing something to your hair, and re-doing your makeup. Even though I'm lucky and have it fifth hour, it's still not fun walking through the halls with soaking wet hair and barely any makeup. Plus, I have to sit through sixth hour like that. On Monday, our first day of swimming, I made the mistake of wearing jeans to school. After I dried off and went to put my jeans back on after swimming, it was so hard to get them on because I wasn't totally dry. Then, I had to go the rest of the day with wet pants. Even though swimming is fun while we do it, it's not really worth going the rest of the day uncomfortable and wet. I can't wait for swimming to end, and then we go on spring break!
