Day 23

Today was a pretty nice day! I set my alarm for 8 in the morning because of my competition that I was going to go compete in, and I figured that I should start my computer to check my facebook. But when I opened ichat I noticed that my family was on. So I ran to the Lounge with my computer in hand and had an ichat with them! My sister has camp for five days starting tomorrow and I am really excited for her and I can't wait to hear how horse camp went! I talked to my family for about a quarter hour! The time flies when you aren't at home with them! But I tried orienteering today because that is the only running sport that the school has at the moment, so I figured that I'd try it. I didn't like it all too much because I sucked! But it's good to suck at something, it gives you something to work at. I don't really like the stop and go aspect of it. I like straight up running more! But it wasn't too bad I guess and I'm going to the nationals in Auckland in two weeks, so wish me luck. I got in touch with the Thompson's and they seem to be very nice people. I can't wait to see them over holidays. I got a phone today so people can get in contact with me here. But then I settled down and prepared for the next three weeks to be very busy, and at times very exhausting!
