I am getting even more antsy as the days go by. Whenever there is an unknown number calling me on my phone, I secretly hope and pray that it is a medical school, but alas, it isn't. I have had that happen to me five times in the past week. Seriously, five times! It's pure torture! I really hope I get a call soon. It's driving me nuts! I just want an interview, that's all. Well, that and then an acceptance letter, but I'll take an interview anytime soon!
In other news, the first Timpview swim meet is on Wednesday... you all should come and cheer on the team! It starts at 3:30 at the Provo Rec Center!

Swimming 09-10
The swimming season is here and we finished our first week with fifty-five swimmers on the team! Personally, I think that it went very well. There was some drama to begin with... namely students and parents being angry that their swimmers couldn't swim because of lack of the correct papers. Luckily, that drama went away after the first day because the swimmers hated my dry-land set. haha! It was beastly and they were all so sore the next day. Things are working out with Provo and they have a new assistant coach that is more on top of things. I think that coaching will be the same as last year with Timpview doing all of the work with little help from Provo. The swimmers are also glad to get in the water, but they are not happy with how crowded it is. We have about twelve people in each lane. I know that people will drop out, namely Provo kids and I hope that our Timpview swimmers stay for the whole season. A lot of them are new and excited to swim. I hope this sticks. It looks like it is going to be a great year and full of fun!
Tired
I'm so tired right now... There so many things that I've been doing that I just want it to be summer because what I am doing is not summer. I am training for a triathlon right now which involves at least 30 minutes a day of working out. I don't really mind that but it makes me tired because the only time that I have to work out is in the morning at 6 or 6:30. Then I head off to school and work all day. Then I come home, do homework, maybe read a book if I'm lucky, go to bed, and do it all over again the next day. I was totally wrong about doing classes this summer. It's killing me! I'm only taking HEPE and D&C which are easy classes but I don't have the motivation to learn the material. I just do what is necessary to get an A in both classes.
Another random tidbit is that I am swimming at state this year! The club team that I am coaching for needed another relay member so they chose me. I have been working out and I am actually really excited to compete again. Relays were always my favorite part of swim meets besides swimming the 400 IM and 200 Back. It's going to be a rocking good time!
Yet another random tidbit is that I am going to the Jack's Mannequin and Fray concert tomorrow! I am so excited! I have loved Jack's Mannequin and The Fray for years, but I have loved Jack's Mannequin more and for a longer period of time. It's going to be amazing! I'm going with Liz and Meagan. You can expect some good pictures to be posted from the concert! Hopefully these to exciting events will give me the energy to finish out the semester and have a real summer for a couple of weeks.
Oh! I almost forgot! I was also made head coach of Timpview High School swim team! I'm pretty stoked about that. It is going to be awesome and were are going to have an awesome year. That has also required me to do A LOT of work. I'm hoping that I can get everything settled before the school year starts so that it does not put a lot of stress on me.

What To Say And Tell...
I really don't know what to say and tell! There has been so much going on in my life right now that it is totally insane. I have been really busy with school, friends, and work! I have been having so much fun since I finished my MCAT! By the way, I am supposed to get my scores back on the 2nd! I'm so excited! I hope that I got above a 35!
I have found a new love and it is... glow in the dark ultimate frisbee! It is pretty much amazing! I absolutely love it. I've played it a couple of times since I finished my MCAT and I keep craving it. I can't believe how much fun it is. My friend Margaret introduced it to me and I'm so glad that she did, but I'm so sad that she is leaving for her mission soon. She, however, promised me that we will play it a lot before she leaves so it will all be good.
Speaking of love, I know some of you might be curious about my love life and about my "forbidden lover" or "FL" as my friends like to call it. Well, nothing happened. It was essentially over before it started. We sort of went out on a date and realized that it would not work out so we just decided to be friends. We have hung out a couple of times since that first date (if you can even call it that) and it has been a blast! I'm sort of sad that it didn't work out, yet at the same time it's nice that it didn't. FL lives up in SLC so it would be difficult to have a relationship because of that. FL is also finishing a Master's in Exercise Physiology or something of the sort and then applying to medical school. Then at the same time, I haven't been in a relationship for a very long time... about a year now and I miss having someone. Oh well, I'm happy that we are still friends.
Another snippet of information is that the people in my class really hate me because I keep setting the curve really high. The first test I got a 96% while the average was a 70%. Then I know that they are really going to hate me because last night I took the second test and got 100%. Oops... Oh well, I don't really care. It's their own fault for not studying. What can I say? I'm a perfectionist and an overachiever. It's what I do. hahaha! I just hope that they don't hate me too badly because I still have to go to study groups with 5 of them...
In other news, I am coaching with the UV Rays again. They contacted me because the head coach is on vacation for a month and another coach is going to be having a baby in July so they needed help. It will only be for the summer but I'm glad to be back because I missed a lot of the kids. Also, I'm most likely going to be head coach of the Timpview swim team next year. Brian officially quit. The only problem is that instead of just hiring me as head coach, they have to open the position to everybody and do interviews for the position. Brian gave me an awesome recommendations, but I'm still kind of afraid that I won't get the job. One of the reasons why I'm afraid is due to the fact that I am very young. I'm 21 and they might see me as fresh out of high school still since I went to Timpview. They might also think that I cannot handle the job and the kids. My other fear is that I can only do it for a year (because I'm planning on going to medical school next year) and that they want someone more long term. There is nothing that I can do about either of these problems. I hope they see me for the awesome coach that I am. If I don't become head coach, I'm not going back to the team because I don't want to coach under someone who will probably be less capable than me or have a completely different coaching style than me. Let's just hope I get the job! :)
That's about it right now. I'm pretty busy with life but I'm loving it. I'm working on my medical school applications and getting all of my letters of recommendations ready. It's a fun and exciting time! I'll let you all know my scores when I get them back next week!
PS I'm reading Great Expectations by Charles Dickens at the moment and absolutely love it! I recommend it to everybody!

Tears of Joy
This is my first blog, but I don't want to do any introductions to it or anything. I just want to get right into it.
This weekend was amazing! For those of you who don't know, it was the state swim meet and the Timpview girls were set to win. Friday they all swam great and pulled ahead of East, which wasn't supposed to happen until Saturday. Then on Saturday, it just kept getting better and better. Everyone did great and I was so proud of them. Timpview girls won state and our boys broke the top ten (I think that they got ninth)! Another great part about the night was that Meagan received the swimmer of the year award. I was so proud of her. I gave her a big hug and started to cry. She deserved it and I was so happy for her. I didn't really care about winning. All that I care about was that everybody did their best and that they were happy with their swims. This happened and we won the championship, so it was even better!
After all of the awards were handed out and Brian, Kanani, and I were thrown into the pool, we headed to Magelby's and had great conversation and a great dinner. Then we headed to the Timpview Valentine's dance and totally crashed the party! It was so much fun. This is definitely going to be a night to remember and I am glad that I was a part of it.
Way to go Timpview girls and boys!
PS: I am really excited to get a ring!
