Swimming time

Hi everyone
This last Tuesday I went to my first special Olympics swimming. In that practice I  swam 6 lengths of the pool. I used a swim belt and a noodle. For the last set I used only the swim belt and went really fast since I could use my arms. I also conquered my fear of going in the deep end. I was extremely nervous about going to the special Olympic swimming practice but it turned out fine. The only thing was my legs were sore afterwards from all my hard work.
I did not post this last week so another update is this week I did 8 lengths and swam some of them with just the noodle and no swim belt! You can do anything you put your mind to.
Next week my goal is 10 lengths.

Starting college

Hello everyone
My favorite things I like with college are:
-You can go to washroom anytime you want.
-You can leave to have a break anytime without having to ask

I have been in collage for 5 weeks now. My first week was nerve racking since I had to go to a new school.  I had amazing help from one of my cousins for the first 3 days. I found the bus and learned which bus stop to get off. After class on the first day I had chicken fingers and French fries. I also had pop. After finishing lunch we waited for the bus. I have to take a longer route to get home since the college express does not start again until 3pm. I have to take 3 busses. The first one that i ride takes me to the mall, then I go on the ixpress bus to the terminal. Then I take another bus home. At first it was a little confusing but I have gotten the hang of it. My classmates are super nice. One of my classes we had to do a scavenger hunt. I am already working on my first paper for foundations of writing.
I really enjoy the college experience everyone in my class wants to learn so there are no distractions. The worst part of it is on wednesday were I have to get up early. This week I bought some fudge from oh fudge which was delicious. The flavour I got was mint chocolate. I am getting used to my schedule a little bit. It is a lot of fun but a lot of hard work.  I have four classes each week. Some of the course I am taking are foundations of writing and student success for higher learning. I am having a great time right now. I have done 2 assignments. My 5th week of college has been really tiring but so worth it. Everyone in the college is friendly. I just have been working on a couple assignment. Thanks for reading.
