I just started an afterschool swimming program. Every other day, we do the front crawl 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 alligators are good motivation to swim fast! I've already lost 1.5 candygrams! Not sure how much that is in whatever weight unit you guys use.

There's this totally cute new girl at school! Her name is Madison Cummings and she's fantastic. I mean, she's a little weird; her mom packs her these gross organic lunches, and if she even smells a peanut, she gets all swollen and has to lie down, but she's still awesome. I wonder if she's into selling flowers? I dunno. How do you talk to girls?
