my week in shoes
Monday
Halloween! i attempted to dress up as Audrey Hepburn. some people got it, others didn't know who shes was(wtf!?). it was fun wearing pearls, long black gloves, sunglasses, a black dress, and these shoes to school. pretty much nobody dressed up. my sister and her friends were all dominoes together, they looked pretty cute. i didn't go trick-or-treating. i guess you could say i've hung up my pillow case so to speak. i stayed home and gave out candy to trick-or-treaters.
Tuesday
my mom gave me these shoes. they're super comfy and pink. what more could you ask for!?!? nothing too exciting happened today. i wore a pink ribbon in my hair, a pink sweatshirt, and these shoes because october is breast cancer awareness month. then i got to school and realized it was november 1st, oops.
Wednesday
i went to first period and then left for the DFAL XC Championships. my race went alright. i didn't pr, but i ran my hardest and finished my fourth season of xc. so i can't be unhappy about that. my dad came to watch/cheer for me. i heard him during the race, "go, katelyn, go!" i finished and went over to talk to him and i gave him a huge hug. i told him i heard him and that it helped me finish. he said he would have said more but he started to get chocked up because he said he is so proud of me and how far i have come with my running. i didn't realize he was so proud of me and it made me feel incredible. xc is over now and im not sure whether it's a good thing or not. i feel like a senior now as i begin experiencing my lasts of high school. it's bittersweet.
Thursday
i woke up at 6am. then i went outside to get something out of my car and to grab the newspaper for my dad. i was running back up the driveway, barefoot and in pj's cuz it was freaking cold. halfway up the driveway i felt something stab my foot. i looked down and at first it looked like a rock. but it was a piece of plastic with a nail through it. it went stright up into my heal and i had to pull it out. i bled a little and tried to be tough while i cleaned it and got a bandaid. then i went to my room and cried cuz it hurt so bad. i went to school and limped around all day. i missed 2nd and 3rd period to listen to a zen buddhist monk. i didn't like it at all. maybe im a tough critic since i am buddhist and know a lot about what he was saying and have heard other monks give talks. but he spoke to long, imposed his ideas onto us, bored everyone to death, and said a lot of incorrect things. it is frustrating because he probably gave a lot of people the wrong idea about buddhism. i picked up my sister after school to take her to crew practice and i got bitched out my an orinda mom because she said i didn't leave enough room for her car to park. i moved my car for her and she continued to bitch at me. so i told her that i could care less what she thinks and rolled up my window. it felt good standing up to a bitchy orinda mom. all in all it was a stressful day. but i had my purple bow keds on, so i felt a little better.
Friday
i got crutches. btw in this pic in the middle is the nail/plastic that was in my foot. kinda gross but oh well. my foot had become so swollen i couldn't wear my tennis shoes. so i wore these, which were comfy. my arms are soooo sore from using crutches. it is exhausting being a gimp, let me tell you. not only did everyone look at me like i was retarded, but i had to stop every minute or so to rest cuz it was so hard. oh and it was raining. evan offered to carry me to math class. i thought it was sweet, but i turned him down. him carrying me, my backpack, and my crutches didn't paint the most graceful picture in my head. everyone opedn doors and got things for me. thanks for the help. i tried to be independent and i acted pissed off when people tried to do things for me, sorry(cassie). i went out to dinner for thai food with clarissa and kelz and that was a lot of fun. then we went to the game and that was fun too.
Saturday
i took the SAT. for the last time, thank goodness. then i went to andronicos and picked up a pineapple. it has an enzyme that is suppossed to help your recover from oral surgery. aka im getting my wisdom teeth out on monday. im so scared. ive never been knocked out/had surgery before and ive heard so many terrible stories. so ill be home for the first part of next week. come visit me and my chipmunk cheeks if you want!?? or if you want to see what im like on vicoden. ive got a feeling thats going to be interesting. today i also took pictures of our driveway and the neighbors driveway b/c our neighbor backed into our drivewy and hit my mom's mini cooper as she was backing out too. our nieghbor is crazy and lied to her insurance company and siad that it happend in her driveway. so my mom is trying to get them to see the truth. i still can't believe that people can just lie about things like that and live with themselves. i know that i wouldn't be able to. the rest of the day i watched movies with my mom and started making a new sweater. i couldn't do much cuz my foot is still hurting a lot.
so, there it is. my week in shoes. and a japanese mapple.
how was your week?
