I just started an afterschool swimming program. Every other day, we do the oar stroke for at least a half an hour. I don't mind it much, except I wish we'd do it in a pool, not a swamp. Though I guess the vicious mud daubers are good motivation to swim fast! I've already lost 4 candygrams! Not sure how much that is in whatever weight unit you guys use.

Today Danny Stokes came over after school and I showed him my pet sugar glider, Charlie. He said that was a dumb name and said I should've named it Snuggleface, but what does he know? He named his pet tarantula Reggie, and that's just ridiculous.
