Yesterday morning, I woke up at 6:00 AM. Not only did I wake up at 6:00 AM, I woke up at 6:00 AM to go swimming. Not only did I go swimming, I did so because a friend wanted me to do so. I am possibly the best person in the world right now. For the time being, let's ignore the small, masochistic part of me that found the idea of forcing myself to wake up during the god forbidden hours of dawn to douse myself in cold, cold water mildly appealing. While we're at it, let's also ignore the parts of me that saw a good blog entry in the making.
The last time I was in a pool was the summer after 8th grade for summer gym. The last bathing suit I owned was from Limited Too. I hate water--minus drinking and showering. I hate the beach. I hate the rain (unless I'm inside). Get the picture?
But, I swam anyways (Did I mention that I am the greatest person ever right now?), and to my pleasant surprise, the whole ordeal went relatively smoothly and enjoyably. It also helped that I got some prescription goggles for my near-blind eyes. Prescription goggles are awesome. They help me see, and I hate not being able to see.
After swimming a whopping 12 laps, I felt pretty empowered and very, very cool. I was also very excited about spending the rest of my day bragging to people about what a good person I was. However, my armpits and abs hurt like fiery doom. So much, in fact, that I could not push down the ketchup pump during breakfast for my eggs. In fact, they hurt right now as I write this entry, so I'm just going to stop typing now and go hunt for more things to do that will make me a fabulous person.
