i haven't posted anything really worthwhile about me life lately, and for this i apologize. so i'll cover about two months' worth of information.

something that has been very constant in my life since mid-February is pain. i'd tried to use hand paddles again just before the valentine's classic, and my shoulders have been extremely painful since then. it varies day to day as to how painful they are, exactly, but i hit a breaking point when i woke up monday and could barely move my shoulder. i couldn't pull when i tried swimming; it hurt too much. so i got to go to the doctor's this morning. i now am going to a shoulder specialist on the 18th. it's been two years since the problems started; it's time to figure out what's wrong.

my parents put our house on the market, so we've been getting it ready. it's been a long process. as much as i don't want to move, i'm ready to be done with it.

classes at the CC are almost over. i only have a class on monday left. i've really enjoyed the class this semester. art is a great stress reliever. i also get to take the class with a good friend, which has really spoiled me...we carpool as well, and it's weird now when i'm the only one in the car.

for 4H, i had the public presentations contest at the end of april. i performed a selection from Henry V, act V, scene i, by Shakespeare. i got an A grade, and was also named state fair delegate and best in show. i'm going to do fox in socks by dr. seuss for state fair. it's interesting as i learn how to wrap my tongue around it...oh well. "through three cheese trees, three free fleas flew. while these fleas flew, freezy breeze blew. freezy breeze made these three trees freeze. freezy trees made these trees' cheese freeze. that's what made these three free fleas sneeze." ;)

school is blah. 'nough said. :P

by way of books, i have discovered the writing of ted dekker. i read his book kiss, and was entranced by his writing. he holds you until the last page. it was GOOD and i recommend it to all. his website has his other books as well.

that's all i can think of for now...
