Our only home meet is tomorrow. After this weekend is Big Tens at Penn State. This season has gone horribly. I have yet to get below 15.0, I did that my second meet last year. I really hope I can pull it together for this last meet, I ran 14.5 last year, if I could even get close to t hat I would be happy. I have a really good chance of scoring in the Big Ten if I can just get my running and hurdling down.
So I am signing up for a study in which I get stabbed in the jaw with a needle and injected with salt water, it is supposed to be quite painful. I they are paying $1,100 to poke me twice, so I think I can put up with it for an hour. I really need the money for next year as well.
This semester was completely hectic. ROTC was ungodly stressful and time consuming, as was track. I got one of the best GPA's in my life though. I did not do anything but study, go to practice and do Air Force stuff. I needed the distraction though. Now that I am bored as hell it has given me a lot of time to think about where my life is going, what my values are and what my priorities are. It is still pretty confusing but I am trying to feel my way though it. So far Iti has been the most stressful, trying, heart wrenching year of my life.
