Today was a Pro-D day. YAY! But I woke up early anyway because I wasn't aware that the education forum thing was cancelled, so I showed up, and no one was there. Oh well. Later I had my first round of playoffs for tennis. They were against PG and, unfortunately, we lost. So... the tennis season is officially over. Right after tennis, I had volleyball. And I was sore from the sun run and tired from tennis and of course this is the practice where we do a full dynamic AND conditioning. I could barely hold myself up on my one-armed plank, especially when we had to lift one leg off the ground. We were doing sit-ups, push-ups, blocking drills, you name it, we did it. So now I'm going to sleep because I am soooooooooooo tired.

Today was the sun run. Man, it was packed! There were soooo many people that it was kind of overwhelming... I loved it though. The atmosphere and the music and everyone cheering made the run really pleasant. I ran the whole way and I'm really proud of my time, 0:56:31. For my first year, without training, that's pretty good. Imagine my time next year when I train.
I slept for the rest of the day because I was exhausted after the late night yesterday and then the run.

Today was day 2 of provincials. Today was for rankings, for medals and my team was really pumped. We won our first two games with a little bit of struggle. The first one went to 3 sets and the second one we won 24-26, 24-26. During the second game it was 24-24 in the second set. I spiked it, and it was going WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYY out. But, luckily, one of the girls on the other team nicked it with her arm and we got the point. Then I was up to serve. I served, and they didn't return it. There was soooooooooo much screaming I thought I was gonna go deaf. Our third game was for the gold medal for Division 3. Surprisingly, it was the easiest game of the day. We ended up winning gold and going undefeated this whole tournament. We left our house at 1:45 and I got home a 11:05. It was a really long, but good, day and hopefully we play this well at Nationals.

Today was provincials for volleyball. It was a long day (I was at the tournament for 6 hours+driving). My team ended up getting first in our pool meaning that tomorrow, we get a bit of an easier draw. Tomorrow is when it really counts because it for first place in our division.

And we're back! Haven't blogged in a while. Today I went for a bike ride with my family and planned for my brother's Easter egg hunt tomorrow. That's pretty much it....

I had a really bad stomach ache all day and I felt really nauseous during last block. Worst of all, I had a tennis game today and I forgot my tennis shoes at home so I had to bike home, grab my shoes and come back. The first game was good. We won easily (I was playing doubles, hence the WE) and then I felt sooo sick. I honestly thought I was gonna hurl. But I said to myself "if you don't play we forfeit that game no matter what, but if you play, we have a chance". So, I played and as soon as I got home, I was in the bathroom, just in case... Yeah... that's kind of gross... but nothing ended up coming up and eventually the ache went away.

Other the course of these 2 days, I had a volleyball tournament. I thought it would be easier to explain the tournament in one blog instead of two. So, here we go... The tournament was regionals, which, depending how well you do, puts you in a good or bad position in provincials.
Thunder was split up into 2 teams, thunder blue and thunder white. Blue was definitely our A team and white is weaker (I'm on white). Blue was put into the highest pool and white was put into the lowest. We played ok on Saturday and we won 1 out of our 3 games. However, we were still in 4th after day 1. Since we were 4th in the worst pool, we were put into tier 2 for Sunday.
On Sunday, we felt much better, I guess, because we won all three of our games, letting us win our tier (13th place overall). Thunder blue was also playing for 1st in their tier (tier 1) and if they won, thunder won 1st in both tiers. YAY!

Today was our first ultimate game. I had to leave early but I think we won 9-4 against Tupper. I had volleyball afterwards and my team was playing really well. Hopefully we'll do well at regionals tomorrow.

Considering that it's April fool's day, I expected a lot more April fool's jokes considering how much our class jokes around on a regular day. I had ultimate and it's clear that I haven't played in a while and I really need to get some more practice.
