I wonder what could have been.....
I've been doing an awful lot of thinking lately. Mostly about
random stuff, but then about school, life in general and most of all
skating.
I have been thinking about how i hate school and can't wait for it to be over with. As of right now, I don't see myself living at Eastern next year. I don't need to waste all that money just living up there. I am only going to school on tuesdays and thursdays so there's really no reason for me to live there. Plus I really need to work my ass off and earn some money for the future. There will be some things that i will be glad to get away from but, I will miss it up there and i think this change will be for the best.
Along the same topic of school, I keep thinking about changing my major. But then I look back at the classes I have already taken and realize that wouldn't be the best idea. I just don't want my life to be overtaken by someone else. I've decided that I want a simple life, with a marriage and family. I thought for the longest time it would be so cool to be famous, even for whatever reason, but it's not what i want unless it's in the form of singing of skating.
On the topic of skating, this is what i have been thinking about the most. Lately I have been watching all of the competitions i was in, all the ice shows and thinking about how much i really loved to skate. I look back on how everyone said i had so much potential and go make it somewhere with it. I remember when my dad said he had got me a backer so that i could go sk8 with Richard Callahan. For those of you who don't know who he is, he coached Nicole Bobek, Tara Lipinski and my all time fav Todd Eldridge and his latest skater is Jennifer Kirk. But there was too much pressure on me and I went through a phase that i hated sk8ing because everyone was pushing me to make a huge committment. I am extremely pissed at myself for missing out on what could have been a great opportunity. Right now i would like to go sk8 for Disney on ice. I think i could do it and you make good money. I know that right now, sk8ing means more than anything to me. I am gonna bust my ass this summer and pass my Senior freeskate test. I am gonna bust my ass to work with Mark because I know how bad he wants his pair tests too. I defintitely know that I am gonna do Wyandotte's competition in Septemeber and the Adult competition. Making it to Adult Nationals would rock, but you have to be 25. Sandy really wants me to do the Collegiate level as well....it would be a great opportunity to do that. I can't wait to see what my future brings to me. I definitely know I want skating to be a part of my life forever!
There's more i wanted to add to this, but as of now....i'm not ready to type it all out.
