Migration

Well, I've been thinking about it and I decided to use WordPress for my blog...So Natalie, you can follow me there if you still want to ;)

I'll try to write more later on that one...buuuuut no guarantees.

Oh, and still no luck on the facebook stuff.

Ketchup

Ok so I'm trying to play catch up with school work this week. It's not going so well. It theory, this homework should be exactly like the last homework assignment with only a few changes. But alas, it doesn't work the way it should. As usual.

I went to the TA's and they were absolutely no help and the professor is out of town. It's so frustrating and I'm already not doing very well in this class. Sigh...just trying to distract myself from thinking about it. It's making me really angry

Contemplative

So now that I am attempting to start this whole blogging thing I checked out some others blogs. They are all on this site except for Marco's, http://makkeboome.wordpress.com/, I decided to look around there and also made an account and imported this blog in there to see how it was. The one thing I really like about the wordpress blogs is that you can have multiple pages. (Maybe you can on here to and I just haven't figured it out yet) But over all I like the look better. I'm kindof a neat freak about my computer stuff and the themes and such on there and just the overall feel for it is just more put-together. I'm still deciding on which to use. So you two people who actually read this, tell me which one you like better.

Virtual Spring Cleaning

So as one of my first projects with all my free time away from the pool I decided to sync and somehow try to get my online life organized. My first order of business is to try to get my blog posts to show up on facebook. Not sure why I decided to do that first but here goes...

Can you see me on facebook yet?

Retirement

Well, after 15(ish) years of competitive swimming, through club-KYAT, high school-Kearns, and college-University of Utah...I am officially retired. Well at least from the early, early mornings 6 days a week, the gruelling workouts that you seriously think you might not make it to the other end of the pool. All of the training trips, seeing my teammates everyday...What a HUGE change for me.

The past couple of days have been really rough for me. I feel like I've been in post-career depression. It's getting a little better day by day, but I still feel like I've lost a really big part of me. I have put so much into swimming my entire life and now it's just gone. Of course I'll still get in the pool and swim but it just wont be the same. Where are my friends that I've gone through hell with? Where is the coach pushing me past what I think I can do? I don't know how to swim with out that. I guess I'll have to teach and old dog new tricks. And that's never easy...from what I hear. I've never had a dog.

Anyway, I thought this would be a good topic to start off a blog if anyone will even read this. Who knows...I don't even know how often I'll even update this but we'll see. I'm going to try something new and this is a good time to do it. It's a new chapter in my life and I'm going to try to embrace the change with my big open monkey arms. Try...
