Man... yesterday was such an exhausting day(in a good way). My madre let me stay over at Jerilee's house and we had a blast.
After school Jerilee came over to my house for a couple of hours then we went to her house. I snooped through her closet for a while then we went out to eat at steak n shake and then went to walmart. I got to meet her mom when we got back. I've been so excited to meet her since I've heard alot about her. She seems like a wonderful mom. I also got to meet possum (who looks nothing like one if you ask me) so if you want to see the cutest most sweetest kitten ever, just ask Jerilee. We went running around a neighborhood where I was shown where every person lives that Jerilee knows. Then came back and hung out. We ended up staying up until 2 in the morning talking, mostly because I had to finish my homework.
Besides all that it was such a fulfilling day. Ever since I've been getting to know Jerilee and spending more time with her it seems as if I've known her all my life. I love hanging with her, we laugh at the funniest things that any ordinary person would look at dumbfoundedly. We have many things in common such such as painting and writing poetry. I feel like I can be myself when I'm around her without having to worry about her judging me or being self conscious. I cant explain it, I truly believe that God took part in our friendship. I sat with her and her friends at lunch today. I got to meet a couple of her friends. All of which seem like they're great people. I hope I will get the chance to know them better. I love meeting new people. Especially those who I see around school but am never able to go up and spark a conversation with unless I have a reason to.
Anyways Districts for track were yesterday which I wasnt able to attend. I hurt my foot in pole vaulting by falling into the pit and landing on it. I pray that I never have to go through that again. I ended up with a swollen foot with less than 2 days before districts. Of coarse when my dad found out he told me that he didnt want me doing anything athletic wise with my foot for at least a week or so, which in other words meant that I would not be in districts. I cried that night. I spent all season suffering through pulled muscles and scrapped legs and arms all for nothing. Then I had to go through coach Hernandez before school started and explain to him that I wouldnt be able to participate in districts. I got a pretty good lecture of dissapoint ment from him, which made me even more upset. Its not as if I have a choice in this situation. I have to respect my dad,its not like I can just ignore him. I ended up crying on my way to 1st period (personal fitness) where i was totally unprepared for class so I just sat there, in my own little world. Being the Christian that I am I trust God and I know he does everything for a reason, but as I sat there I tried to understand why he would allow this to happen to me. Needless to say I didnt get an answer from Him anytime soon. Now that Districts are over with Riverview taking first place in Girls and second in guys(which I also want to add that we took both first and second place in girls pole vaulting). I look back over the last couple of days and think... if I had gone to districts on Thursday I wouldn't have come back until 10pm at night so I would never have gotten the chance to spend the night at Jerilees house. So it makes me kinda wonder...Why did I waste all my time being upset and sad when I already know that God has already taken care of me. plus my foot doesn't even bother me anymore...life has its ups and downs, its how we handle them that makes the difference...
i guess...:)
