Today, I missed an entire day of school to attend the City Championships for cross-country. Many people were asking me what place I got. I actually didn't place very high, so I think it was a little bit over one hundred (100). So unfortunately, I did not advance to OFSAA (provincials), because the top 6 individuals and top 4 teams advance to the next round. Therefore my cross-country season is now officially over.
To be frank, I am actually satisfied with my results this season as I did not expect to advance to cities. I joined cross-country, because I have always participated in this sport right before my volleyball season, and it was a great excuse to force myself to wake up in the morning and exercise. Cross-country is one of those sports that don't involve a lot of initial athletic ability to succeed. You just need time, perseverance, and determination. The only true competitor is yourself, as you are the one who will drag yourself to the practices, and the one who will tell your body to keep pushing and running even when you feel like you are on the verge of "dying" (during a race).
I am actually glad this season is over, as I am now mentally and physically exhausted from all the practices and the four meets that I had to attend. Wow! Four meets!
So, I did not attend Computer Science class today, but I contacted Cindy, and she scanned me the notes. I will print it off tomorrow, as the toner for my laser printer is now very low. For now, I will finish this blog and go through the first two "Selection" assignments.
OH yah :D
