Well, seeing how news travels so quickly in Palmyra (surprise, surprise...) I guess I better tell everyone myself before I get random people asking me questions...
A few days ago, I made the decision not to play soccer at E-Town in the fall. I know. Big shock. I just realized that it's going to be a lot more work than fun, which is the way it usually is with soccer. But I don't want soccer to be all about work for me anymore. I'm ready to have fun with the game. I'm still going to play Intramural, which sounds like a lot of fun. Apparently, even the faculty gets involved. And that's what I want. Sure, I'm going to miss uniforms and referees and everything else that goes with an official game. But I'm not going to miss the long workouts in August and the frustration of not being able to do everything exactly right. I want to make college fun, and I just think if I play soccer I'm going to end up too stressed out. Also, I'd like to get involved in other clubs/activities. Without soccer practice/games everyday, I'll have more time for those things.
I don't care if your mad at me or disappointed in me for making this decision, just please don't tell me. My dad's already pretty much not talking to me and I can tell he's disappointed beyond words. It's hard enough seeing that from him, I can't take it from my friends too. So if you feel that way, I'm sorry for disappointing you, just don't tell me I did.
That's pretty much it. Thanks for listening and again, I'm sorry if I disappointed all of you.
