It goes without even saying that today has been pretty eventful. I won't bore you with all the details, it's 11pm and I'm exhausted... I also got school tomorrow, so that sucks.

  Today was the athletics championship I got accepted into a couple of days ago. My school did pretty well, we were competing against ten other schools and we won a fair few events. I came 4th in the 1500m out of about 13 people, so I was pleased with that result. They didn't reveal our times, though, which really annoyed me, although I would have estimated somewhere around the 5 minutes 45 seconds region.

 I also had to stand in for a fellow competitor who had pulled out of the 4x100m relay race about 5 minutes before it started. I don't enjoy short distance running and sprinting at all, so that has to be one of my least favourite races.

 When I got home, though, I found a bit of a surprise - an effects pedal for my guitar lying on the bedroom floor. Now that was unexpected. Ah well, I wasn't complaining... it didn't take long to figure out the system, so in a few minutes I was playing like a maniac! w00t!

 And, now, I'm going to read some Lord of the Rings. Must be the fifth time I've read Fellowship of the Ring, and the book never gets old. Inspirational, most would say.
