Stupid Boys

So everytime I get mad at boys when they wrestle because they will alway end up hurting someone and most likely I feel it'd be me. Well they used to get mad and say I was over reacting but now they can't ever say that. Yesterday in practice the guys were being idiots again and playing a game called "Bean". Now the aim is like tag and you have to tag another guy and swim back to the wall first. During warm up two guys in the lane next to mine decided to start up and in an attempt to gte away one came into my lane while I was swimming and swam directly infront of me. When I lifted my head to tell him to get lost he swung around to swim back and hit me really hard with his kickboard/arm. Instantly my nose was gushing blood. I got out but collapsed on the deck a few feet away. Our trainer came in and tried to control the bleeding and eventually stopped...30 mins later. I went and got dressed and went to the trainers where I saw a doctor who prescribed me some pain killers. I pretty much stayed drugged for the rest of the night. This morning I woke up with a very bruised nose and eyes and in pain. I went and got Xrays done and finally in the afternoon found out that my nose is for sure broken. So tomorrow morning I am going in to have a specialist re-set it. I have never been this upset about myself for a really long time. I am so scared about what is going to happen. I am angry at the boys because they never care. I am mad because they never realize how stupid they are till after. They don't get punished either and I get a broken nose. I am in pain and am sentenced to my room because the guys are "just having fun". Well now I am the one paying for the fun.

Spring Break Aftermath

So I am back in Vegas after spending my spring break in Canada. I am not so happy to be back here but I am happy to see everyone and to finish what I have started here. I had such a great time with my family and friends that I am now convinced that I am going home for the summer to work. I started my spring break in Edmonton when I arrived on friday. I swam at a meet (for fun) and got to spend time with my sister Sarah and her husband Kenton. I also brought along my boyfriend Jonas and so I showed him the sites of Edmonton with a huge help from sarah and Kenton. I had a really great time with them and they seemed to have fun too. Jonas and I then drove up to Grande Prairie on sunday and spent the week there with my Mom and Dad and family. I got to show Jonas where I lived and how Canadian life is up north...I thinkI shocked him. We swam with my Mom at Masters, we went to Tim Hortons, walked my aunts Dogs, took in a play, explored the mall, partied at the Corral, and of course just toured little GP. Then on Friday my Dad packed my Mum, Jonas and I and we drove back to Edmonton but we went through Grande Cache, Jasper and Hinton which was a lot of fun. We saw a lot of animals and beautiful mountains. In jasper we went up to Marmot and saw all the skiiers and ate lunch up there. We then went back to town and explored a little before heading off to Edmonton. Jonas and I went out in Edmonton for St. Patrick's Day with my friends at Panda Fest and had a lot of fun. Edmonton had a huge amount of snow too and so we were left with a great impression of Canada before heading back to the desert. On our last day (saturday) we spent it shopping in West Ed and loaded up with Mummy gifts (THANKS Mum!) We also went and saw a movie at the IMax which was kick ass. Then we had a nice supper and went to bed. All in all I LOVED my trip home and I can't wait till I come home for the summer. I had a little family-fill to help last me the next 2 months and then I am home! I began trianign yesterday and I am very sore so you may hear me whine the next few entries because its gonna hurt. Thanks for the great visit guys! Love you and Miss you!
