well, i was going to say that you guys suck for jumping so low, however, if you consider the fact that i could not walk a couple weeks ago, i dont think im one to talk really. i would love to be able to jump. actually, i would love to be able to do just about anything. i have been trying to get some lifting in, but, while lifting, i continually have to stop because of pain... oh, well. my ankle should be healed sometime before the season starts, but for now i am stuck having to wait it out...

im back in HI. stuck on the rock here. its nice, but for some reason i continue to feel that this place is less and less like "home". there are a number of factors that contribute to this feeling. i think the thing thats hardest for me here is the fact that im kind of a celebrity here... i know it sounds concieted of me to say, but its true. apparently, ive been in the local papers a lot having competed post-season with some speculation that i would compete at the trials. ok, so heres the kind of thing i get: i went to the Y yesterday to get a quick bike/lift in. when i went to check in i told the receptionist my name and immediately some random guy next to me starts talking to me like he knows me. apparently, he just knows my name, my school, where i went to hs, my events, and some of my stats. this is something i get a lot back here and its really kinda freaking me out cause i cant go anywhere without having people watching me.... it gets a bit more complicated cause i went to a hs that is strongly affiliated with the largest church on maui, so whatever i do on maui gets reflected upon not only the school, but the church....

regardless of that, it is manditory that, when flying into hawaii, you claim any agriculture/harmful items you brought with you. for the first time ever, when the box for home address came up, i naturally wrote in my ithaca address. i didnt even think about it until later.


anyway... being home isnt exactly relaxing. its actually a lot more of a headache. what is nice though is that i get away from some drama back home... everyone knows what i mean.

ok, well i am going to get a swim workout in seeing as that doesnt hurt my ankle at all.... i hope everyones doing well (except for pell, who i hope loves his freshly painted pink room back in ithaca).
