Back to Basics: A Flower List Update

Are you getting tired of the words, epic or fail?

33% said Yes!!
25% said Nope.
8% said I've never used them.
and...
50% said It doesn't bother me much.

There's always words that become a fad I guess. At first they seem clever and new but then, like everything else, we exhaust them until they die off. I mean yeah of course I've used the words before and maybe no one else sees them as a trend like I do but know I think it's time the cycle starts again and we find some other terms to butcher. It's tiring hearing a muffled 'fail' every time I make a mistake or someone answers a question wrong in class and I get it! Last night was cool, could you not use epic five times in a row?! Don't get me started on the combination of the two.

So even if you sound like Gretchen (from Mean Girls, duh?! don't you know your cult classics?!) failing (there I go again!) miserably to get 'fetch' to be the new 'it word' don't give up. Someone out there has the word that will give the cycle a nudge, so please use it!



Splits suck. End of story. So, moving on let's talk about something I haven't mentioned in a while.
If you've been with me from the beginning you know that I joined track for the first time at my school. Well we had the first two meets this past week and I thought I'd just let you know how
things are progressing!

My first meet I did the 800. For those of you who can't wrap your mind around that distance, it's two laps around a regulation track, or a half mile. Out of 10 or 11 girls I came in 6th. I wasn't that disappointed or shocked or whatever. I knew I'd be average. It was a really hard event though, I like long distance as I've mentioned before but I found out this Monday that not when it's a race! So on Friday I did the 400. Which if you're not that smart it's half of the 800 meaning it's one lap or a quarter mile. For that race I came in 2nd, and I'm thinking I like that one a lot more! Not just because I came in a higher ranking (even though I really wasn't that good. I came like seconds behind the girl who received 1st place) but I find it a lot easier. It was hard to push myself in the 800.

As for The Flower List, I've been adding things but I haven't completed a full page. Some things I've been wanting to do are: Run/Bike across the Brooklyn Bridge, Have a perfect movie moment swinging on a vine/rope into a waterfall/lake. Little things like that (:

Hope everyone's week has been good and Happy Mother's Day!!! If you have a great relationship with your mom, or a bad one, if your mom passed away or you haven't spoken in forever just reflect on what today means to you.
