Everybody Seems to Have Problems, But Me

Let me tell you now, stop reading this if you value your time and would like your life to remain peaceful and happy. 

There, if you're still reading it, you must be bored, stupid, or feeling like a bitch.  And oh, yes, this will contain profanity.  I usually try to limit myself, but I need to let something out before it explodes (that's what she said).
> Yes, that is what even 15 year old girls think when they hear stuff like that.

People love to complain to other people about their problems.  I GET IT!  I do this all of the time.  Doesn't matter if it's the creepy hobo on the street corner or my dog, I tell everybody.  But I usually tell them what the problem is.  I hate it when people say they have a  problem and complain to you for an hour straight and then tell you that you would not understand their problem.

I think I would.  I just listened to you complain FOR AN HOUR about it.  I think I would get it, I truly do.  

However, I rest my case.  Our football season ended.  No championships.  It was the first time our team made it to the playoffs, which was nice.  I truly think that next year our team has a real shot at winning the championships next year.  It makes me pretty sad knowing that we won't have some of our seniors next year.  I am so happy that I played on that team. 

I also ran the Spartan Race this weekend.  I did it at night.  It was cold, bruising, and an incredible amount of fun.  

Now, here's a song to remind me to be a teenager (even if I do not go out and smoke weed, this song relaxes me...)

Our soccer team has been finalized.  I am not really happy with the selections made for varsity, but I'll work with what I've got.  Since my sister has a concussion, I'll have to play sweeper and let somebody else take my right-wing striker position for not until she comes back in January.  I'll talk more about the team in the next post. 
We have a scrimmage this Tuesday against Community Charter, whom we beat 4-0 last year if I remember correctly.  Our season starts in January or February, so this is a pre-season warmup game. 

So, despite tests, homework, problems, and the occasional hormone shift, just have fun!  Doing the Spartan Race made me happy and have fun.  I didn't know if I was in shape to run it before I did it, but I got the ticket for free and ran with some people for the football team.  I had an incredible time and know not to worry about being in shape unless I do the timed heat instead of the Hurricane Heat.  We had to wear headlamps, but I will definitely try to talk about this tomorrow.

Schedule for this week:

Fill out Earthwatch application (Due Nov. 30)
Monday: English SAT Vocab Test, Flute Lesson
Tuesday: Scrimmage
Wednesday: HUGE Bio Test, Band Test
Thursday: Thanksgiving (almost forgot about it!)
Friday: Will be in a happy-food coma

Sloowww

Things have slowed down a bit, which is extremely nice.  This Tuesday was a 12:30 dismissal, and our school had food trucks that came out.  They had a Kogi foodtruck (korean BBQ), a shaved ice truck, and a french fry truck that made exotic french fries.  I ended up getting a short-rib taco from the Kogi truck and a watermelon and lemon-lime shaved ice.  My sister and I took the Orange Line home with one of our friends.  As we were sitting down, a kid with a skateboard came on the bus, pulled out and X-Acto knife and tagged the plastic panel of the bus directly above our heads.  With a few quick slices, he sat down and got off at the next stop.

But still, I just watched in awe over his ass-holish-ness.  Every time his stupid knife bit into the soft plastic with a "schick" sound, it made me feel sick.  What kind of jerk defaces property like that?  I'm still pretty mad I didn't say anything, even after he got off the bus. 

My football game this week is on Saturday.  Luckily, I have practice Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.  I really need to work on my punt and on leaving the floor with both feet.  I know I have a better kick than the one I'm putting out.  Same with my kick-offs.  Unfortunately, I might have to wear my helmet in practice, b/c I felt horribly off-balance when kicking with it on.  I haven't worn it in practice for about a month. 

Ooh, and Thanksgiving and Christmas are coming up (yes, I know, Halloween just happened, but I get excited!)  I'll probably post a Christmas list soon.
