Have you ever felt like everything was going all right and then all of sudden you fall. Fall off of the metaphorical cliff of personal tragedy and you keep falling because in the end, whether you hit the ground or not is about your resolve and wil lto continue on. Well that's what everything with me knee has felt like. I was just getting better and caring about soccer and I slipped and fell off the cliff, but on the way dow nsomething happened that hasn't happened to me much before, I grabbed a hand hold. I stopped the fall. I was still very far down but I resolved to go on. The people in my life; friends, family, therapists, instructors and mentors were helping me, throwing me little pieces of rope to create firmer handholds and footholds. Well I have just reached the first precipice in my climb. I am cleared for limited participation in athletic events. This means I can play soccer this sunday at one o clock at tower field for 45 minutes without cleats. I know now that althogh I have reached a precipice I have more climbing to do and should I get knocked off anymore cliffs, I have this experience to remember and recall. I will be able to say, "I made it that far way back when". Things have come full circle.
In other news, I won't be going to homecoming. My wonderful (no sarcasm, seriously she is wonderful) date has an obligation on that day, therefore I cannot go. I will be working and then I will either hang out with Chelsea, she is in town that weekend, or go to Micah's sister's wedding reception or maybe both.I don't regret missing the dance but rather missing time with my date. As most of you know...I hate dances, but it was time spent with ehr and for that I would have been grateful. Perhaps this is for the best.
I. Hate. Physics.
Free stuff rules.
The Return of the King trailer is pure ecstasy. Pure and simple ecstacy. I want to see it so badly. I heard skip day will be the day after the midnight showing. I'm all for that. Tomorrow is toga day. I don't understand togas even after my therapists' attempts and teaching me. I think I will take a sheet to school and have someone help me.
I really hate physics.
