baahhh noooo!
Graduation and NJAC's.
on. the. same. day.
Are you SHITTING me, Stockton??
Every year graduation is on Sunday. Both winter and spring commencements - SUNDAY!
Why this year? The year I planned to walk?
And what kind of sticky situation does this leave for all of our senior athletes?
On EVERY sports team. On EVERY other event that occurs on Saturdays.
Nothing happens on Sundays! And everyone's happy about that! Why change it now?!
I'm fighting this.
I already e-mailed my coach angrily.
I'll bring it to SAAC.
I'll bring it to the president.
I will NOT wait until the winter of 2011 to walk.
I will NOT graduate an entire semester behind my twin brother when I should be walking within the same week as him.
And above all, I will NOT pick walking at graduation over racing at NJAC's.
I could NEVER hurt my team like that. I could NEVER hurt my passion for running like that.
And I know other teammates feel the same way as I do.
However, I also know how many of us want to walk together - in the spring.
Like we should be.
I won't go down without a fight.
Not this time.
[ on a sidenote, ps: 3.6 GPA for the semester: 3 A's, a B+, and a B. there were definitely some rough patches to some classes/this semester, but I made it, and I'm pumped about it. I can smile about this now :) ]
