"Like oh my god.... is that like.. my brain?"
Sometimes you just want to shoot people. Then again, if there was no bad, you wouldn't know what good was... right? Where shall I begin....
The only thing I want to mention about Thanksgiving, were the amazing football games. On the day of Thanksgiving, I went to the football fields across from the library to play tackle football with some track alumni. It was interesting to say the least. The team was red (daisy, diana, casey, christina, b shea, and giovanna) against the blue (me, melvia, melissa darbouze, tania darbouze, k shea, and L-mac). Needless to say, we lost by 2 touchdowns. Despite all the drama, it was fun. They definitely know how to get down and dirty in the mud. People were slipping everywhere and by the end of the game, the goal was not to get a touchdown, but to get as muddy as possible. I say we succeeded tremendously. The day after Thanksgiving, around 30 family members + k shea and nichole, came over for turkey and well... thanksgiving stuff. When it got dark, we decided to have a football game, girls vs. boys. Score? 14-12 (each touchdown was a point). yay girls! K Shea dominated the game. I called a few good plays, if I do say so myself. I don't think I've ever played or enjoyed football this much before. Man... I wish there was a woman's league....
Monday after Thanksgiving was the start of Winter Track and my internship at the News Report. My first assignment was to write about my experiences in powder puff. It's going to be in the papers this Thursday!!!! It's stupid that I can only go Mondays and Tuesdays for an hour each day. It's going to take forever for me to finish my 50 hours. Boo.... He taught me how to do advertising lay out and gave me my next assignment for the next issue. Haha, my next job is to interview Keene and write an article about how great he is. Shoulnd't be hard seeing as how I have to get quotes from Mitchell.
Winter Track? Going in a totally different direction than planned. Mitchell made a speech about how no girls have proven worthy of being captains yet... It definitely bruised a few egos on the team, but I believe it's some what of a good thing. It lets people know that it takes action to show commitment, not just your word. These past 4 days have definitely shown to me who I believe are BSing their way through the sport. How are you going to make a big deal about wanting to improve and wanting to be the best when you can't/won't even finish 1 1/2 laps? It's all bull. Don't be there for the wrong reasons. you shouldn't do track to "stay in shape" or to please somebody else. You might as well go to Jenny Craig's. This all may sound a little harsh, but I'm not dealing with this crap this year. Either do your best to beat me, or stay the heck out of my way. Don't waste my time.
Prospectives on the team? There are about 15 girls throwing in Indoor Track. How many do I think belong there? 3 or 4. The new girls think it's all a joke. We pulled medicine balls out for drills, and one of them asks if they're the shot puts. Our warm up laps, which have been cut from 2 to 1 1/2, are a complete joke. As I was running, I passed one of the new girls that wants to throw, and I said (encouragingly) "try not to walk". What does she do? She rolls her eyes at me and says "ugghhh". Then, I was scolded by a freshman for calling a "shot put" a "ball". She goes, "It's a SHOT PUT, not a BALL... that's what Mitchell said." To put the icing on the cake, my knee isn't exactly doing all too well and I'm starting to have back spasms. Every hour I would get shots of pain through the left side of my back. This is going to be a long season. But you know what? It's a good thing I don't care about track... right?
Hm... SATs Saturday morning (7-1?)(nervous as anything...)Krystal's pop-pop's surprise party @ 3... Javelin clinic Sunday morning (8-1230)... Dan's 18th birthday party @ 3... No school monday, but probably track practice 2-430... then my internship from 5-6...
