School And Sports

So this is kind of late and I don't know if I still get credit but it still do this anyways.

So I have been going to track for about one and half months already. I have been getting really sore from it. But I really do like running. It is just that rarely anyone runs it with me now. What I'm trying to say is everything is falling apart in the track team. If you look at other schools their track team is so committed. But in our school most of the people go once a week now. It really pisses me off when I see people like that on the track team. In fact, my friend is rarely going now because he complains that it is boring. Well if nobody goes it gets boring. Last year was really fun when everyone would go everyday just talk, run, and hang out. Now it is just run and go home. There's no fun time in between.

On top of that our coach has also become more light on track members. He used to make us do nearly impossible work outs and no it is a piece of cake. I think it is because of the fact that most of them are freshmens and they aren't as good as the seniors last year. We also don't have that much seniors and juniors this year too. There is about 60 people left on the sprint team and around 30 thru 35 show up for practice on average and 20 of them are freshmens. I have to admit it is really boring with out the upper classmens. Last year on the track team everyone was in one huge group and now its all in separate smaller groups. Sometimes I wished I joined a different sport like badminton or something. That sounds really fun to play. But I can't really do that now because I'm already in varsity and I have to be in the 4 by 4 next year. I really hope more people would join track and everyone just mingle so that everyone would know each other more.

In fact, it has been one and a half months and I still don't know some people names. This is really sad because last year every body knew each other. This year for track wasn't as great but I'm still satisfied that I am getting a lot faster. However, I have more problems like sores and what not. Track consumes a lot of my time too. Since I'm in varsity I have to run the late practice which from 5 to 7 or so. Leaving me very little time to do anything else. I always tell myself I would do it from the time between I get off of school and start practice which is a good 2 hours or so but I never do it. This leaves me with very little time and makes me stay up very late. I don't mind it but my parents say that I don't get enough sleep. I sleep around 12 or 1 everyday so that's around a little over 6 hours of sleep every night. I think the average person SHOULD get is 10 right? So I'm ONLY 4 hours off. Sarcasm.

School has also been a pain in the ass. It's that time of year again. Near the end. All there is left is testing, testing, and testing. What am I doing tomorrow? Testing. The day after that? Testing. It really sucks. I'm not a junior or a senior so there's no special party for us. The year is almost over. I can't believe it. I also still have to find a summer school to go to. Panic mode is turned on. I really want to go to a summer school that I can actually learn from and I also want to find a part time job to have my own spending money. My family is really Asian and they don't believe in allowances. So what I get is what I can spend EXCEPT the first pay check because apparently it HAS to go to my parents. I don't know why and I don't want to question them because they will give me a long list of money used on me. Right now it is 1:45 AM and it is a Sunday so that means I have school tomorrow. I should really get some sleep. Chow!

  1. Have you considered talking to your coach about the lack of community on your track team? (Or talking to your friends to convince them to come back?) I don't know that it would help but it might be worth a shot. You'll know better than I do if this is a good idea...
