Free Post: St. Patrick's Day Weekend

This weekend has been one of those that I have been excited for but just as anxious waiting for at the same time. I had two parties, a parade, and a track meet that fit in to just three days. It started on Friday afternoon, just after school, when I had to go get dressed for the track meet right after school. And you have no idea how much I dreaded going just because I had to expend a lot of my energy and adrenaline on this, but the weather was great and it was so worth it! I ran in two events this time around, and it was no different than last weekend. Everything was really chill, and all I did until my event was walk around, watch other events, and lay back with my team members. Eventually I sprinted in the 100 and then the 200 meter dash and did alright in both of those. I have no idea if I got a PR (personal record) in either, but I guess I'll find out sooner or later! After that I had my close friend Taylor's surprise party to go to, and even leaving the track meet early didn't help: I missed the surprise! But overall it was a blast - everyone had a great time and we all got to dance like fools. I was absolutely exhausted that night after being active from the time school ended to 11:00 that night.

The next day was the annual St. Patrick's Day parade, which we had to get up early for it, which I had bee dreading. Ironically, I woke up before anyone else - which I wasn't expecting at all - so I went back to bed until 30 minutes later when I woke up again! Maybe that was my sign to get up... We ended up leaving at past 10:00, which didn't surprise me at all since our family is always late for everything. We did miss the parade, but met up with another family to go to a "tailgating" thing at someone's house by the parade route. I actually ran into a few kids from EHS and talked to them while the parade was ending. We stayed for a couple hours and went to eat lunch at Zoës Kitchen by Perkins Rowe. Later, I was apparently supposed to get asked to Sadie's, but they rescheduled (or so I thought...). Later that night, a friend was taking me to the Élan spring dance, so I got in a partying mood and went over to their house to go to the party. I thought it was fun, since I got to see a lot of people from our school and different schools, but I didn't think it was as fun as Snowball, maybe because it was Western-themed. The next morning, I slept in, and waited until lunch when I got asked to Sadie's. My friend Taylor drove up in her mom's car that said, "roll with me to Sadie's?" so I said yes to that! It's been a fun and busy weekend, and I'm looking forward to the next one where I can still have as much fun as this one was! Now I have to finish homework, so I should probably get to work...
