As regular readers (all three of them) of the blog know, Victoria is a diver. And once again, diving season has started. Last week there were two meets: one local against another school, and the other an "open".
The two-school meet went really well, and the flying squirrel showed her true colors as she soared to a dramatic victory. More importantly, for the first time in her diving career, she broke 100 points, scoring 103.8! Yay, Victoria! Of course, thanks to a math error they announced 113.8, but it's all good!
At the open, it was a three-dive meet and she didn't fare quite as well, coming in 8th. She was all depressed and unhappy, so I asked her where the next-closest girl from her school came in. "Oh, she was 16th."
"Wait, so there's like how many girls diving?"
"I dunno," she said. "A whole bunch."
Oh, I see. 8th out of a whole bunch is terrible.
Goofus.
This week is three more meets, so we'll see how the flying squirrel does as the season goes on. Can she stay above 100??
