the pool

Thanks for all the compliments on my photography =)
___I've been super lazy this week as I'm on an "educational trip" from school while all my classmates go down to Florida for our senior class trip (I opted not to go). The only things I've really been doing are watching movies/tv shows and working out/working, so nothing incredibly exciting stylistically, etc!
___But there is one thing in my life that keeps me from being a total couch potato, whether it be through work or exercise, and that is the pool. There are places we all have where we find ourselves absolutely comfortable, and mine is the water. Despite being clad in a silicone cap, funny looking goggles, and one piece suits that pushes skin into all kinds of unattractive positions, I find confidence most easily the moment I step onto the pool deck. I have discovered that even if the smell of chlorine makes me vomit or the feel of dry hair after being the pool makes me cringe, I will probably always find my way back to a pool someway or another.
What are your places of confidence?

PS I am now translating my blog into Spanish, so from now on at the bottom, there will be a link to a translated page.

  13. I am in LOVE with these pictures!

    Hmmm...I feel the most confident in my writing. I always get shy when people read it; but I typically feel confident about my talent in that area. :)

  17. Oh how I wish that I had a pool! lol, I guess I really don't have a place for confidence, I just like walking with my Ipod on, it is great to be outside and around everything without really being involved in everything, at the same time. Does that make sense?

  18. how funny but I feel LEAST confident when I'm in a tight, body-baring suit, in the swimming pool! It's such good exercise though so I wish I could get over my hate for swimming and everything that comes with it. When am I most confident??? I'm not really sure actually!
