so it's the first day of classes. i go to my FRESHMAN (grr) writing class and we split into groups and what not... and the prof walks up to me and a girl on my team and we told her about soccer just to give her a heads up if we have to miss the class or whatever...... and she turns to me and says... i thought you were an athlete, you looked like an athlete...
that's wierd to me. i mean i was wearing khakis and a polo. i mean it was girly for me. maybe it's the way i carry myself? i don't know. that's wierd to me. maybe she was just being nice...
...but it's funny because i'm no longer an athlete. i'm not playing soccer this year. i've decided to redshirt. but they changed the rules for d3. because they want to focus ont he student athlete they say no more practicing for redshirts. and while i can't play now, and prolly won't be able to for a month or so...i won't be able to practice when i'm ready. it sucks. it sucks a lot. i'm now the team manager. its the only way i can travel with the team. i do the laundry and tape the games. ouch. i watched my first scrimmage the other day. it was hard. i won't lie. but guess what. god has a wonderful plan for me. and i need to hold on to that. and i have jills on the sideline with me. it'll be ok. i can do it.
