Yesterday, there was so much rain and traffic that it took 3-9 hours for people to get home from work or school. Normally, Jakarta has tons of traffic, but add rain to it and its the recipe for disaster. People who had volleyball practice yesterday that took the late buses at 5:00 pm reached their houses at 12:15 am. GAAAHHH! My dad was in a gridlock for 3 1/2 hours at Fatmawati and had to stop at KFC for dinner, but it didn't matter though because the car was frozen in one spot so he could go inside. haha. My friend who lives in Bintaro was stuck in traffic so bad, she got out of her car, walked home, and beat the driver by 2 1/2 hours. Ouch.
Strangely for me, I left normal time and I got home in 15 minutes :D
Track and Field Season is overrr!! BOOO!! I LOVE TRACK AND FIELD!!
We went to BIS for the final meet of the season. We left JIS at 7:15 and it took us about 40 minutes to get there, and when we did, it didn't start until about 8:30 GAAAHH! I HATE WAITING!! PLUS we could only do one or two events! ANNOYING!
Since it rained last night, it was really slippery (grass track UGH) and there were mud pits everywhere! We couldn't walk across the "track" without getting our feet stuck in mud. Oh well.
Our relay team (Lieke, Eddie, Nicole, and Me) got first place YAY! Mrs. Whitley made a typo on the event lists and replaced Nicole with Nora (oi). I was the 3rd runner and I got our team into first place position GO ME! But we all ran shorter distances because one lap is 300 meters, so the relays were 4x75 instead of 4x100.
I also did shotput (originally i wasn't supposed to do it, but I was replacing SeiYon Lee because she didn't show up) and got first place (7.31 meters) but I think the shots were 1 kg heavier than we are used to so I threw one meter shorter than normal. But I don't know.
