Pertrubed upon arrival
I was really struggling with a title befitting its content. Does anyone else really dislike Dr. Phil? he is bad enough when i cant even watch his show, then they decide to put him on prime time.. i dont know what i am going to do.
to get you guys up to date.. last thursday we had our all school elections, in which susanna and i were running for all school Pres./VP together. it was a nerve-racking day during which i was unable to focus very well, but for the most part i was pretty comfortable with how things went during our speech and questions following. we both felt good about how the assembly had gone, but that did little to encourage the butterflies to migrate from my stomach. we were forced to waith until the end of the day to find out the results of the voting. we were informed that we had not won. kristen and maria were to be our new all-school team. i had a very mixed reaction to the outcome. i was very disappointed. i was looking forward to the opportunity to have such a leadership role in the school. on the other hand, i also realized that there would be immense time commitment involved in such a position, and given the current state of my academic performance, which isnt bad persay, just at a lack of discipline, and self motivation. at the same time though it is more then just about the election. as i said in my previous post, this would be an opportunity to see where i stood in the school. i found out, but not in the way i had expected. i went in to the election with the mindset that if i didnt win i was in poor standing with those who were my friends. as it turns out (and maybe it has more to do with being the loser and them being nice, but this is my time!) i was so encouraged by all the comments i received from those who had voted for me and were sad for me that i hadnt been elected. it was pretty amazing the way things worked out. i know kristen and maria will work hard, and they have encouraged me to run for rep. next year, but i havent decided on that yet.
i havent seen... anyone that went to NYC! i have seen pictures through Thomas's blog, and a few stories from mixed sources, but i am excited to see people again. oh wait. i saw lauren, anna and savannah on monday. so scratch half of the last comment. this weekend is fully called for. we have leafership training for missions trip on friday for 5 hours, and then saturday morning we have a jazz gig, and then we have prom saturdaty night. sunday will probably spent recovering from prom. i dont know whether i will plan to go to church after after prom and after breakfast.. and whatever else the night/morning entails. im excited. i just want it to be here, personally, so that i dont have to think about it, and talk myself into a frenzy.
this weekend i decided my soccer career was far more important then was my track career. aactually it wasnt by choice. in our game on saturday i got hurt. i dont really know what i did in terms of my leg, but let me try to describe the actions that led to me laying on the ground in a featal position of pain. i had taken a kid baseline and had come out to about the right corner of the 6 where i planted to shoot. the goalie who had the agression of a scarecrow decided he needed to do something for a change and dove out at me. he hit me just below the knee driving it inward. it twisted and he landed on top of it. i was pulled down in an awkward position which didnt help things at all, which brings us to now. it hurts with much activity, and after walking for a while. i have not been to track practice all week, and didnt run in the meet yesterday. i am questionable for friday. personally, i dont know whether i really want to run or not... i would love to do well, but it is sooo time consuming. i hope i didnt hurt it very bad.. how novel.. but i dont know what would be best right now. i hope to be able o go to the WR soccer game on friday, or at least next tuesday when they play our girls. kelsie i am still planning to come. if i can i promise i will.
11 days of school! poor seniors only have 7! good luck with that.
