i'm going to rant like a spoiled brat.
so tonite was the awards banquet for basketball. senior night...*tear tear* there were a buncha special presents.
so how it usually works is everyone gets a certificate, c-team will get something little (last year we didnt get anything), jv will get 'gag gifts' and then seniors get like really nice jackets, and a signed ball and plaques and letters and a buncha really cool stuff.
anyway, so all the c-team got tickets to see star wars with coach tomas cuz apparently he is a freak about it and so he told them like the first day of pracktice that they were going to go see it as a team...so that's cool.
and seniors...they have their really cool stuff and the juniors made all the seniors photo albums.
here is the part where i am going to sound like a spoiled brat, and i hate to say all this stuff...but man, it just hits me hard. it shouldnt be such a big deal, but it is. so they abe is calling up all the people up one by one, saying something nice about them and he give's them something special. anna, who LOVES my big fat greek wedding and is always quoting it and is also greek, he give's her a bottle of windex with greek flags wraped around it. joann, who is always smiling and is like the really happy person on the team got a basketball with a big smile on it. anyway, the point is that these gifts, though not expensive as price goes were really nice gifts because it was the thought that counted. kinda like in wisard of oz, all the tin man got was a clock - and he was REALLY happy...those are the gag gifts...amanda got some sticks of butter becaue she was telling us how once she ate a whole stick of butter by itself. so anyway- coach calls me up and says some really nice things about me 'she is the hardest worker on the team' lol i have it on video! mwa ha ha! but anyway, the gift, the most thoughtful gift 'bracelets---because she uh likes bracelets'
I DO??? really?? SINCE WHEN???
yeah, that's me, melly. i am a bracelet fanatic!! whoo hoo go bracelets!! bracelets are the bomb!!
dont get me wrong, bracelets are fun...but they were just...its just that working a whole season the team and the coaches become like a family- and we should know eachother pretty well, and it looked like abe knew exactly what to get everyone else. it IS the thought that counts-but what thought was there? Everyone else had a reason to get what they got 'she likes bracelets' YEAH, IM A GIRL...WHAT GIRL DOESNT LIKE EM?!
i dont like how basketball affects me. it either puts me in a bad mood after practice, a game, or a banquet or makes me really quiet during school. i guess the quietness in school is so i can store it up for practice. i just dont get how being the 'hardest worker on the team' gets me little to squat. jack squat. it's just i work so hard...i pry missed..2 practices out of 4 1/2 months of 6 practices a week. thats 216 hours of 'hard work' for how much? what did i get out of it? no playing time, ugly sweatpants, thoughtless bracelets and coach says he thinks im doing good. my ass. i get nothing compared to what i put into it. nothing compared. and i still go back. why do i go back. i hate it. im too stubborn to stop when iv been doing it so long. i'v been playing since i was 6, and to stop 10 years later right before i get to where i'v wanted to get-varsity- oh no. im getting there. and im getting my letter and then im OUT! but will that happen? abe already has next years team planned out...and yup im on jv 'star player' oh thats great- im the star player of a group of players i CANT STAND...im being seperated from people iv been playing with for 2 years, and most for 5 years. next year is going to be great!!! i want to play varsity, get my 12 quarters done...and im gone. i dont care how i get it...but im getting my letter and im gone. screw all of this man
p.s. pictures should be on photobucket very soon.
