New Year!

Great! Didn't start out great though... Story time?
I got to bed at about 12:30 (midnight, dec. 31-Jan. 1), with a cramping stomach. I thought my stomach just wasn't used to eating as much as I did as late as I did. I was wrong. I woke up at about 2-3 am throwing up in my bed. I managed to get to a toilet, after puking 2 more times on the way. To make it worse, one of those ended up on my then-messy floor, and my first time got behind my bed. My sister cleaned the bathroom for me (I thanked her a lot) and I washed my bedding twice, but I just succeeded in making my room smell strongly of chlorine (like a pool, x2) and less like vomit. Luckily, it was gone by day 3.
But the new year got better! Another story...
I had a wrestling tournament (I told you I joined wrestling, didn't? Very painfully fun.) today. had to get up at 6:00 to be at school by 7:00, to leave school at 7:45, to get on a bus at 8:00, to arrive at the designated wrestling area at 9:00-ish. We warmed up until about 9:30, during which time I checked the schedule, I HAD THE FIRST MATCH OF THE DAY! :( :) ? Good and bad: no waiting, less preparation time. Nervous, I walked to the mat where I was supposed to wrestle, told the judges I was present, and they confirmed that I would have the first match. When they looked for my opponent, however, he was absent. So, by default, I won gold; the first win of the day, 5-0 (No clue how, but apparently I got 5 points for showing up.). Sadly, that meant I had to wait another 6 hours for the rest to finish; you'd be surprised how quickly I get bored of crossword.
They say showing up is 50% of the game; Well this time it was 100%.
So I'm happy! For now...

  1. Yup, your year got off to a nasty start. I didn't realize Emily cleaned up the bathroom after I did.

    And congrats on the win!
