I got my new glasses today, but no photos yet. Having some trouble adjusting them - they really need to be raised on my nose practically half an inch, and I won't have a chance to go back and get them adjusted until Wednesday morning. But I really like them, and got lots of compliments today as I got used to wearing them.
We did timing at swimming today. These may not seem amazing to you, but we had an 8th grade boy beat his best time from last year in the 50 free - last year he had 29 seconds. This year, 26 seconds. Average at this age would be, oh, about mid-30 seconds. Also in the 100 backstroke, average for this age would be anywhere from 1 minute, 20 seconds to 1 minute, 40 seconds. Had a 7th grade girl go 1:09, and she was disappointed - her fastest has been 1:04. And it's beautiful to see their speed in the water. I just love swimming. Roman likes it too, because I let him press the red button. In his words, "I press button, I made the kids go backward!" Meaning, I let him hit the start button that flashes the light and makes a digital BONK sound. So when a swimmer starts the backstroke, they are in the water and leap backward. Roman thought that was just cool, that he could make them do that.
Tomorrow is PI day. For our spirit competition at school, we're doing pie-eating - students and staff. Just small pieces of various pies - pizza, fruit, moon, etc. My team is so lame, no one volunteered to do it - so I am competing for my team. I am hoping for a moon pie - and I'm skipping lunch.
