just an extra mile

Today was busy, despite the fact that most of my days are not that busy during the summer. I woke up this morning at eight to get ready to tread off to soccer practice. What?! You mean the girl who said that she was going to join the team freshmen year and then backed out? The same girl who said that she would pick the sport up sophomore and junior years and never did? Well, this time I am going to do it, no backing out allowed. Now it doesn't make any difference as far as achievements and colleges are concerned, because what is a year of soccer if you don't have four years behind you? I don't care though. I am doing it for a few reasons. First of all, I find that I am more productive when I don't have so much idle time. If I have practice everyday, then when I come home, I'll be sure to get my homework done and not mess around. Another advantage is that I'll be able to get into shape and become slimmer by following a strict excercise regimine. Seriously, I do no excercise at all, and I was hurting today when I had to run a mile. Still, once I get going with excercise, I build up endurance easily and get accustomed to it faster. The other good thing about excercise is that I lose weight very quickly when I do decide to excercise. It's just that I never do, so...whatever. I figure that this way I'll get to meet more people and make friends on the team. I'll be a part of something having to do with the school. If I'm lucky, I'll get to be on varsity. Everyone always says that all seniors make varsity no matter what, but I don't think that's true. You have to work for it, and it's not so easy. So in short, I am doing this to make more friends, get fit, and if I have to play any sports, I like soccer the most, and it's what I'm best at. I'm excited about it, though.
I had to go to the doctor's for an appointment today. It wasn't really very fun. I had to wait around a whole bunch, which was not cool. I had to have my finger pricked, which was not cool either. I hate going to the doctor's, but at least it's over with. She said that I'm the right height/weight proportion, and if I weighted any less, she'd be concerned. Hmm...I don't know...I think ten pounds lighter wouldn't be so bad. I haven't grown any since I was fourteen years old. I am to remain 5'7" for the rest of my life, I'm afraid. It's not such a bad height though.
I am going to a party tomorrow. It's a birthday party for this kid Shawn in my class, and Keith #1, because he's moving away. I just made a whole thing of potato salad. At first, I didn't really want to go, because it is at Joe's house, and I don't think that my Kathleen is going to be there to keep my company. Then, I heard that Christina is going to come to, so it's all good again. I was worried at first, because I thought that she'd probably have to work, but tomorrow is her day off.
Okay, I've rambled on enough, and I am writing this on half a brain cell, as you can tell from all of the choppy sentences and bad grammar. I'll be back on a clearer mind tomorrow. I have to get up and run again tomorrow. It's supposed to be ninety degrees. Oy.
Ciao.
