...and i bought those pills i thought i would need...
holy crap holy crap holy crap. tomorrow is a big day. first- i wake up at a ridiculous hour of a summer morning to feed kids at band camp. next- i leave early to be the first one at the trusty hastings store where i will pick up my already charished taking back sunday compact disc. after- to the doctor for a physical for swimming. later- to the school to get a locker and pick up, oh yes, my bass. i have registered for orchestra, and have i played the upright bass before?...no. it shouldn't be too hard... right? anyways, after i pick up my bass from the school, i go back to work and then i leave and then i go to swimming. it is going to be a good day. anyways, since i last spoke with you, i have been working consistantly and swimming my ass off. and speaking of swimming, i just can never get enough of this. i was at practice this morning and i stayed for the second one and tanisha, one of the assistant coaches was swimming in my lane and she had just gotten back from vacation, and then she says to be ... "so, i hear you've been swimming up a storm."
casey: "well...yes."
tan: "john is just so proud, honestly, i called while i was gone and all he could talk about was you and how great you are and how you've gotten the workouts up to like 5000 yards a practice."
casey: "aw, really?"
tan: " oh yes, john is just so glad you're on the team. he just feels so huge when anyone embraces him as a coach. and when i called i was like 'she's your favorite on the team isn't she?' and john was like 'yeah'"
i just about cried. again my goggles kept anything from showing. my old coach didn't give a rats ass about me and now, john has so much faith in me and i can't tell you how long i've waited to hear that. i cannot express how good it feels. honestly, if she kept going i would have just broke down. after that confidence boost worth 5 years, i had lunch with a new friend. a gal on my team gave him my email and we just started talking, so i actually met him face to face today. he's all emo and an artist and a really good artist at that, and so we had mexican food, and then we went around some stores. he's 17 and 6'4". holy crap, i was looking up at him almost straining my neck. i feel a little bad because i have been so busy lately and whenever my friend derrek comes over i'm not here. i feel like i'm kind of shoving him off, but i really don't mean to. and then my spaghetti is ready, so i will leave you now.
