I haven't died

Although, with some of the homework I've got, I may want to :P.

Anyways, I just wanted to let y'all in on what's going on.

Started Swimming, pratices are good, but I'm wondering why I'm not that challenged by it. Perhaps it's next year that I'll be really challenged, or is the challenge just to stay interested in this sport.

School is off to a running start and I feel like I'm running far behind where i should be. English-wise, I'm doing okay. I know that I could make more of an effort.

As for friends, I'm so glad to be back. But I miss, for all their faults and lackings, the other half of my class. Without us whole, there's like something that's missing from campus. hopefully i'll be making new friends and new soka peeps.

Ok, so here's a definition. Soka Peeps = those people who definitely aren't aquaintences, but they aren't friends either. I'm sticking to a rather strict definition of friends and aquaintances. You know they could become your friends with a swith push one way or another, but yet they still remain not-yet-a-friend, and not-really-an-aquaintance.

So many people have changed a lot, and really it's been for the better. I wonder how the other half of the class fared.

Ok, really don't have time any more. I gotta go get to doing gongyo and then down to swim practice. Yay!

I hope you guys are all doing well. Besos.
