Almost 10 days Later

Wow okay so much for me keeping updates over the week. It turns out the super fancy hotel we were staying in didn't have wireless so I pirated some signal all week. Plus I had to leave my computer in Taylor and Cori's room because I couldn't get a signal from my room. They took advantage and just used it for porn. By's will be boys. I really enjoyed the week with them. There was John Lapins, Kevin Gilesspie (sp?), Cori Harper, and Taylor Graeme. They were all really funny. When we got our rental van we found a DVD of the Ninja Turltles in French )hence we were in Montreal) and we watched it while we drove to the hotel. That was my first sign that they were going to be fun. I stayed with a girl from UCSC and she was only 16. Pretty young but still nice. She was jealous about the boys though. Anyways, the meet was okay. I didn't swim the greatest...I miss my walls. Plus this was my second long course meet ever! I got reminded of that when Brad asked me. I couldn't believe it....my first was Olympic Trials in 2000! So I didn't fret too much. I made second swims in my 100 and 50 breast. I was pretty happy with them. I got to see all the amazing hot guys that swim for our country! Wow are they amazing! I mean...WOW! I didn't know you could be so hot! So anyways the week went by pretty fast. I got my long course swimming in as much as possible. I loved the pool and I can't wait for Mel Zajak. Anyways, Team Alberta dinner on saturday night...quite nice. I didn't go to the after party because I had none of my girls there and I didn't want to be part of the "picking up hoochies" that night. So Brad and I cruised St. Cathrine and St. Laurent and wow were the crazies out!! I mean wow that city can party. That night was quite eventful for phone calls. Before I left Julia and Frank phoned me to congradulate me, then I got a phone call from Taylor when the came home drunk...funny as hell, and then my friend Evan phoned me drunk from GP to speak to me and my boobs. I've saved the email and will forever. I missed the phone and so he left me a huge messege. I love it and it made my day. I also got a ,ot of emails and text messeges and phone calls throughout the week from my family and friends, whcih I loved and they helped me stay focused. So Sunday we all went down to the place where they are holding the World Championships, we broke into the new deck area of the pools. We got kicked out by a french rent-a-cop. He was pretty upset, but we have been the only ones who got on the deck. It was really nice and huge. Anyways we then went to Old Montreal where we walked around for a bit. We then borke off from the rest of the group and Richard and I went exploring somemore and then met up with his aunt who took us for breakfast. Oh so good. I had crepes...withchocolate and coacoa powder. Yummy. Then she took us down to St.Cathrines and dropped us off where we shopped for a while. Well Dick shopped I just walked with him. We then ate supper and went back to the hotel. I had such a great time. I think that city is huge, but still very nice. The whole experience made me want to learn some french. I learned minimal french and can sorta understand it sometimes. Well I am off to bed. I have to swim in the am...super am. Okay night y'all.
