Zach is...

still cold actually. But it was cool to see Obama in person. I made eye contact with him and we had a moment haha. Overall it was pretty cool to get out of school and drive across town and chill literally at JMU. There were a couple of groups of "non partisan" informants. And some guys walking around with signs calling Obama a socialist. Whatever.

Ap English was actually pretty awesome today with only 8 people in it.

Hm.

Finish my homework time. Then fun?

Obama.

So. I'm getting an excused absence today to go see Obama. Pretty awesome. Sucks for the choir people who aren't allowed to go. It's just city county...like really? Oh well. I'm layered in under armor. Like I have 2 under armor tops and then a cheap one, and those dolphin tights I got in 8th grade and jeans and a sweatshirt and a cow jacket. Yeah. I'm still gonna be cold. It'll be worth it. I talked to Hook this morning. He was like I'm glad you're going, it'll do you more good than being in my class. That's comforting. 
Right now I'm sitting around doing nothing on these really nice computers because I already did my homework. 

I'm REALLY bored. REALLY BORED REALLY BORED. I actually just enjoy typing with this keyboard. It's heavenly, if a little too small. It sounds like scurrying little mice. The school is going to be so empty after second block, it's already pretty empty. 

Bored!
Bored!
Bored!
Bored!

When do you choir people get home? Like at a decent hour? 

Ok. AP English time. Fun!! Nothing to distract me unfortunately.

What's this sleep business?

Well.

My race pretty much sucked today. But it's cool. Really. Parker was probably the only one to have a good day. Most people were average at best. 18:43? Eh. That's not so good. Harrisonburg got third. If I'd passed those 3 JF guys about 20 seconds in front of me we would have gotten second. My bad.
I really feel like I just got hit by a steam roller last night. My whole body is sore. Pecs, shoulders, biceps, triceps, quads, calves especially. Once I finished my race I felt all of my old injuries again too. Knees, ankle, hips, shins, heel. It was just ugly.

Bleh. Homework.

Zach Fichter

is going to school soon. Blah. I really need a break. I guess that'll come when XC is over though. I've been getting a short reprieve because I'm getting so little short time homework, but still.

I

actually had a really successful race. I didn't have a good race really. I mean I ran a 12 second PR, but I could have gone faster. I can always go faster. It's going to be awesome if we can get 6 runners under 18 at these post season meets. I know we won't at HHS because the course is so slow, but regional and states yes. I really appreciate the way Andrew runs with me. Seriously, he's close to the best racing partner ever. I got cut off and forced behind a really slow pack, and I looked up and he was cutting holes in the pack for me getting me spaces to move. And to pay him back I drag him along through the first two miles. I really hope he goes to post season.

Hm.

So I'm going to homecoming tonight. Fun hopefully? I think it will be for once.
