Okay, I'm trying something new. This is going to be like a blog that my character writes every week. None of this really happens to me. This isn't my life. So comment please, I'm trying something new and want to know how you like it!

Dear Blog,

Well this is my first post so… I guess I should introduce myself. I'm Chris Andler. I'm writing this to uh, what had my English teacher called it? Oh yeah, she called it expressing my view on my life. It's supposed to help me deal with my "special problems" A.K.A. dyslexia and ADHD. So yeah, I'm "different" but hey who isn't? So more about me; well I do competitive speed skating, I'm in eighth grade, and uh I like pie. So yeah, I've got to write this every week on Saturdays, and I'm "encouraged" to write more often which basically means I should usually be writing more than once a week. So hope you like it, and remember this is my day to day life, so try not to comment too harshly.

So today was a Saturday (duh) and I had a skating competition. It was amazing! I won as usual. But this one was different. As I was rounding the second corner, I started pulling ahead. It was as if everyone else slowed down. The cheering stopped, the other skaters' speed slowed down to the speed of molasses. I on the other hand was quick silver. I flew to the front of the group and kept going. I streaked ahead; the finish line in site. I rounded the third turn and flashed through the fourth. Time was on my side as the buzzer ringed, signifying me crossing the finish line. I had won, sending me to the qualifiers for the Ohio state championships.

It was AWESOME! Afterwards I was really tired but that's to be expected. I can't wait for the qualifiers! It's going to be so cool! I'm a little worried about the one girl in the next county over named Natasha Benfred. She was a figure skater before she went speed, and is super hard to block. She has the moves of a figure skater and some nice speed too. There are also some strange accounts of races where her competition randomly dropped out. But I'm gonna train like crazy.

So yeah, this is my first blog entry! I hope I can keep up with them! So yeah I hope you find this interesting. Do keep in mind this is my life and harsh judgment will not be appreciated, but uh thanks for reading!

Talk to you next Saturday,
Chris
