I use a lot of ...'s.


Anyways, you know how I was almost going to be guaranteed the lifeguarding position this year? Well, then there were only 2 spots for hiring this year. (19 total, but with 17 returning lifeguards.) Also, to add to those odds, there were FOURTEEN APPLICANTS!!! Yesterday I found out that I didn't make the cut. I shook it off, because I figured that the people who were accepted were juniors or seniors who have applied multiple times through the years but didn't make it in. It made sense, because I believe I am one of the most experienced swimmers in our town, having over ten years of swimming at that pool... And taking private lessons... And taking more private lessons once I passed all of the swimming levels to hone my skills and technique... Anyways, I wasn't completely crushed about it, but then I found out who DID get the jobs... Two classmates, (Ironically both are past piano students of my mother's.) One of them, a girl, is OKAY... But during the "Guard Start", which I was unable to attend most days due to videography classes, and which I'm not sure if EITHER of them passed, but when I WAS there, I helped THEM with form, and sort of taught them how to swim, because they really aren't the best swimmers. The guy, an old friend of mine, in fact the only person who's EVER stayed with me at a relatives house, and who suddenly started to completely ignore my existence a few years back. I'm not sure HOW he got the job.
I guess I'll just volunteer to help with lessons again this year... For no pay... For four days a week... And maybe I'll be able to go through the "Guard Start" course this year, and HOPEFULLY get hired next year. =[

On another note, I was one of two freshmen in my city to get a 4.0... Yay...


I'm not going to center that--^ because it would look weird.
