Cross country has this odd ability to make you forget how to breathe. I think that I might have asthma; the humidity does not help matters. Yes, friends, I have begun cross-country practice. It is an absolute hell when you are actually running but, afterward, you feel as if you could do anything. We practiced hills yesterday. There are two very steep, long hills on a trail across from my school that we had to run up eight times each. I had to sit out for one of them, though, as I could no longer breathe and was getting dizzy. It was one of the more fun work-outs, though. On the way back, I told Brenden that I might puke. I am in constant dread of this. I just know that I am going to puke all over someone today.
The play went quite well! I am saddened that it is all over. I got a lot of praise for my acting, though, from both my family and friends. It made me feel really good. That play is the cast's baby. We built the set, learned the lines, operated the lights, and bought the props. It's over for me and... there is a huge sense of loss. I always feel depressed after a play. If I was good enough, I would go on Broadway and act for a living; I am never happier than when I am on stage.
And... well, that's it for now. More interesting entries soon to come.
