Thursday April 16^th

Last day at school for the week (we have field trip tomorrow)! During lunch, I left the school to go to a Rotary International meeting. It's an organization like CHI, for exchange students. So I met them at the American Legion center in Butler. There were about 10 people, all between 40-70 years old, they were teacher, librarian, mayor... They asked me questions about my life in Switzerland and here, and we ate there. The food was amazing! I was so happy that I missed the school lunch for that! Taco salad and chocolate cake, yummy! (It lasted for about 1 hour and a half)

we also had our first away track meet at Churubusco. Busco is probably the best team we will run against (they are a really big school), so we knew it was going to be very hard and we were all very nervous...The first race was my 4x800m..and they killed us! We only were 2 groups, one from each school. I am the best runner in our group, and I run a 2'52'', the Busco girls were talking before we started and they said they usually ran a 2'35''! I was freaking out! We lost, they finished 200m in front of us! So when it was time for my 800m, I was scared! I never ran as fast! I ran this race in a 2'46''...6 seconds faster than usually! However it didn't happen as I wanted...I was second the entire race, and I came to the finish line 50m before the third one...there were 2 lines on the floor, and when I passed the first one, I was sure it was the finish line, so I stopped... guess what? It wasn't. I stopped literally 1 meter in front of the real finish line, what gave time to the 3^rd one to catch up and pass me. I couldn't believe I had been so stupid!!! I was so disappointed, and mad at myself! I just made my team lose 2 points, because I didn't know which one to stop at. I never had a race fast like this one, I had an amazing time, and I ruined all of it for a freakin stupid mistake.

For high jump, I finished 2^nd, I jumped 4'8'', emma did 4'10''.

Our girl team lost by 12 points, which isn't bad at all against the best team we will run against.

SO MADDDDDDDDDDDD AT MYSELF!
