The one day of the week when I don't have to put on shin guards.
Once again life has changed a lot. I made varsity soccer. I was one of three freshman (Kelly Frings, Abbey, and Kate.) It's been really hard. Everyday is the same thing. School, soccer, sleep. The weekends arn't much different. I haven't seen my friends much and I'm always tired and sore. It's not all bad though, I'm in the best shape of my life and can run for a really long time. I wuit smoking and drinking for the season. We ran two miles for a warm up one day this week, and then did more fitness at the end of practice. I'm not the worst player on the team, but I'm not the best either. I try really hard, but some days I feel like I don't have it in me to keep going. My grades have gone down a little. I barely see Tina and the rest of my friends anymore. Summer will be better.
My mom and Liz are getting ready to go to Italy at the end of this month. I'm sad I'm not going, but there's not much I can do about it. I'm happy for Liz that she gets to go, but it sucks having to stay here over spring break. Liz is missing a week of school to go at the end of April. Two minutes ago I just found out Caroline is going to Florida over break with Steve and Laura and their kids. It made me cry.
It's not just that though. I'm tired and I feel like I'm losing some of my friends. I've been thinking about whether I even want to go back to Pius next year. They raised tuition again and I feel bad that my mom has to work so hard so I can go there. It's not even all that great of a school (besides the art program.) I would miss my friends, but I could still see the ones I really care about. I don't know. I just need to sort some things out.
In short: Soccer has taken over my life and I can't wait for summer.
