This weekend we had our annual team trip. This year we went to St. Joe to Nicole's cabin. It was a good time, and a great weekend. The freshman this year are very ranged, from WAY outgoing to pretty shy. It was good to hang out with them in a non-school/ swimming arena. Overall it was a really relaxing weekend.
I rested a lot this weekend. And I also thought about swimming a lot. But what is new there? haha. My knees feel better, meaning that they don't hurt to walk around and I don't dread going to class because it's uphill or up a couple of flights of stairs. Kathy told me to not come to practice tomorrow morning, so I'm not. I'm gonna go to the trainers tomorrow and see about this knee PT shit. Apparently they changed their hours, so it's like 10-12, and 1-6. Seeing as I have class from 10-1, and then again from 240-355, I'll either have to skip lunch or an hour of practice every day to get my PT in. This is SO fucking annoying. Adding the knee stuff will probably make my daily PT up to a grand total of an hour and a half a day, at least. I already do an hour for my shoulder. Kathy said that if I miss an hour of practice it's ok because I'll be helping the team by getting better. I see this and all, but at the same time it still sucks.
I was thinking about my last journal entry, and how I said I wasn't sure if swimming is what I wanted anymore. I think this was a rash comment. I was extremely frustrated at the prospect of not being able to swim or kick or do anything with the team. I went aboroad in the spring so I could swim this year. And now that I'm not able to swim because of injuries it's really frustrating. However, I still LOVE swimming. This past week I went and sat on deck and did 30 min of abs everyday because that was all I was able to do. Who would do that if they wern't crazy about swimming? I have 22 more days until I see the Doc and he tells me I can swim. I need to focus on this as a short term goal, and not look too far past this right now. MIAA's is way too far away to think about now for me.
Yeah. I hung out with my brother today for awhile and it was fun. We watched the new family guy DVD which is alright. It was a lot of family guy at once. I think the smaller doses are better during the episodes. What else... yeah I guess that's it. It's bedtime!!
peace.
