So school is going well so far, I've got A's in my classes, they're not too hard but I do have to work a little harder with my logics class. Reading the textbook is so bleh but i am learning.

Swimming hasn't been easy. I didn't realize how long I was out of shape. I've had to relearn breaststroke and freestyle and my two best strokes, butterfly and back, have suffered as well. My core muscles(abs, pectorals, anything but the arms and legs) are not as strong as they were a year ago, partly from working in an office for about a year and from not doing basic exercises. So I've been struggling to keep up with my team mates during practices. I can do the full workouts, but I'm just slower and we only have half of the pool so there are 2-5 people sharing a lane with you at once so it can be difficult to do exercises. Whenever I'm going slower than everyone else I see the coach looking at me, I feel pathetic, like I know I can do better but I just can't get my body to cooperate. But I haven't given up yet.

I've started doing core workouts at home to build myself backup to were I was, and even better than that. It requires more energy but if it means I'll make the team then I'll do it. I knew it was going to be tough but I'm surprised at how much I'm struggling.
