april fools

today is april first and everyone knows what that is!!! i dont really take this little day to seriously. my friend called me yesterday and told me that he was at my dorm and to come down and get me, then he texted me about 3 mins later when i was already down the steps that "hahaha its april fools" and i felt like an idiot. its ok tho everyone falls for something like that once in their live. on other sides in swim class today we learned boating safety. i was in the rescue boat and while we were saving them, they flipped us. it was funny but my teacher was pretty mad. nothing else exciting happen today; pretty boring day.

to in my swimming class we learned the elemerty back stroke and side stroke. the elem. back stroke is much easier than the normal back stroke. your arms never come out of the water and your head is always out of the water. in the side stroke your head is always out of the water and your arms are always in the water. your lead arm goes out above your head and the other goes down to your hip. they come together and met at your chest, then go back to where they started. your kick is a sissor kick.

today

today is really snowy. we probably have about a half a foot or so of snow everyhere on slippery rock. in my movement class we learned how to jump and land softly. this is so we know how to teach children when we are teachers. in swimming we started the butterfly strock. its probably the hardest stock in swimming. it is to cold to swim in that cold pool with it 9 degrees outside, and it is 9 degrees in the water also.
