Regardless of warnings, the future doesn't scare me at all
Now that I've returned to my humble abode and have a little time to myself..
Monday was the Six Flags trip and it was quite awesome,the attendees being: Alex, Ben, Lauren, Matt, Espo, Ryan, and Greg. We covered the coasters in the morning, including Superman which I hadn't been on before (it was closed last time I went due to poor weather). Around noon I started to feel sick which rather sucked. I skipped out on the waterpark type of stuff with Lauren. I felt better later on and we went on some more rides, such as pandemonium, the new one, and it rocked. The night finished off well with the ferris wheel and carousel. I had a really awesome time- in fact I wish it was possible to go again this summer but I guess thats doubtful. What a nice day it was and a nice night to, since I had a 2 hour car ride back with Alex. I love being in cars at night, talking, for a long time...its kinda weird maybe.
Tuesday I took off to Worcester State College for Champions Edge field hockey camp. The day got off to a rough start cause I got in a huge fight with my mom (what else is new). Alex called to wish me luck and I snapped a bit at him from frustration. Things got better though. I got all set up in the dorm (Heidi was my roommate) and we played some FH games that night and met our coach who was an Australian guy. Tuesday was also my birthday. I'M 17 FUCKING FINALLY. I brought a huge cake from home and we ate it in the common room-yum! The rest of the week was lots of skills sessions, games, getting in shape, and team bonding. I had an overall good time even if our team didn't place well in the play offs. I think I played pretty well and hopefully was useful on the field. Going to a camp like this makes me realize how badly I want to play in college. I don't know if I'm good enough but I love the sport so much it almost seems worth all the work and time-consumption. I struggle a lot with the choices between field hockey, my major, and ending up in a situation where I could still be with Alex. I know it seems almost rediculous to be thinking that far ahead- a lot can happen in a year. I haven't been naturally thinking about it, its rather been pushed up on my back by the mom, who keeps pressuring me to choose between this and that. I'm hoping somehow it will all fall into place the way it should be. Is that wrong?
Today I got back from camp and on the way back stopped at Wrenthem (sp?) village to do some shopping for some "nice" clothes for my senior yearbook pictures. I ended up getting some cool sneaks I've wanted for awhile called Volatiles. They're white, which is unusual of me to buy because those white sneakers ghetto people wear and polish obsessively tend to piss me off. I'm a hypocrit once again. They were only 10 bucks though and I spiced them up with pink shoe laces. The pink and grey ones my mom promised to get me for a birthday gift. I'm going to sound like a princess saying this but its the first year I've never celebrated my birthday with anyone. I won't get to have a friends one, no family one, and didn't really celebrate with Alex either. The field hockey one makes up for it though =)
Anyways, I spend the rest of the day cleaning and unpacking and doing lovely laundry. Tomorrow is Suzi's birthday celebration and we're all training in to Harvard Square to celebrate, yippeeeeeeee! I also get to meet Alex's aunt and grandma tomorrow morning by helping them hold a yardsale. It'll be fun besides the whole waking up early thing. I'm tired and sore from field hockey *whines*
I have a misquito bite on my boob. Fuckin perverted northeastern misquitos.
Anyways. Later. I Hope your summer is going peachy.
