No escape from reality...
School makes me want to bang my head against a desk! Homework kills, and the teachers never chill. (That's an assonance right there...ha! Props to British Literature.) In study, I napped for fifteen minutes and dreamed about pleasant memories. Then Mrs. Ford distracted me by asking if I had any homework to complete. Grrr, who knows what would've happened in my dreams if Mrs. Ford left me alone.
Otherwise, I'm on a semi-runner's high from today's race. My self-expectations have dropped immensely this year. My final time for three miles went down three minutes. I stopped pushing myself for unknown reasons. Which is unusual, because I'm a person who usually has high standards.
A self-note...
I decided to stay on cross country next season, just because:
a. I must redeem myself and hit better times.
b. The XC team is uber laid-back and cool.
c. Amy (my coach) is the most encouraging, emphatic coach I've ever encountered. I've gone through enough sports, (bench-warmed most of them too) to make this conclusion.
