Thanks

Спасибо всем моим читателям из России! 
If I totally butchered the language, I greatly apologize. So, basically, I would just like to extend my thanks to the Russian readers who keep coming back for every new post. It means a lot to me. Have a lovely day! Stay classy! :)

What Swimming Means to Me

     It's astounding how much individual power the sport of swimming gives you. It is an amazing feeling when you win one for your team, but if you keep track of your own personal best times, the feeling of winning something for yourself is even more fantastic. Practices are difficult; sometimes you just want the clock to stop so you can truly breathe. It sometimes feels like different oxygen. There is the air at the wall and there is the air you gasp for while you're swimming that may feel as if it isn't there, that there isn't enough. When you have been swimming long enough, the water becomes your enemy; at the same time it's your best friend. The water can fill your goggles with eye-stinging chlorine if they are not tight enough. It may be too warm- the heat may cause your strokes to be less flawless, for the water becomes heavy. On the other hand, it can be as freezing as a tub of ice, providing the feeling of being unstoppable.

Writer's Block

I seem to be going through an aspiring author's worst nightmare- writer's block. Even if I have the best possible thought for a post drifting around in my head, I can never seem to put it into words. I cannot even begin to explain how frustrating it is. Thus, you can expect a new post on my main blog sometime between today and September 30th. *crowd erupts into thunderous applause* Thanks a lot for contining to read even in my absence. Stay classy!
