So looking back on it things went pretty well. Sure I allmost died a few times but I'm sure that happens more then we all know. I just wish people had gotten their schudels together so perhaps I would have figured out a better plan. What on earth am I talking about you ask? and what does it have to do with a monkey? Well that is what I shall explane, however the monkey part is still a little gray...
For about three days I knew my fridiay and Saturday schudel would be a full one, but as grew nearer it became rediculis. This is how it read Wendsday of last week. 7:30 tryouts, from there strait to lock in, from lock in strait to home to shower fro symphoney.
Now thats not too bad in its self but it got worse. As things kept being added and removed Thursdays read something like this, Drama, Tryouts, Lock in, ending at 8, then symphoney, dinner, home.
Now Friday came along, the day I had been waiting for. Guess what? They added bell rining to that schudel but it was quickly taken off. You must relize at lock-ins it is very rare and unusual if anyone gets any sleep, so thats 12hrs with out sleep right there. So the FINAL schudel went something like this.
Drama after school until 4. Not bad but people wern't paying very much attenchion and I don't think we acomplished much. Tryouts at 6 until 7:30. This was the day we found out who made the team and who didn't. It was also the first day inwhich I relized I might not make it. Sure the possiblity had been in my mind before but I allways thought I had a pretty good shot. Only thing was I sucked yesterday. I wasn't completly awfel but it was not how you wanted to look while Coach is making his final cut. The plan was he would wait in the hallway and we would go out 1 by 1 to talk to him where he would tell us in private weather or not we made the team. Reana' and others blocked the exit making it impossible for Laura and I to get threw utnil about last, which was terrifying. This is because it seemed allmost everyone came it saying they were on the team. This is a 14person team with 22 people trying out, and when your last, havn't been keeping track of howmany people made the cut and your begining to think that he can't possibly keep anymore people on the team... Your getting mixed signals because youthought your self and a few others were some of the best players, yet your last to go out and 1 of you can't stay. Laura went out came back smileing, she was so happy she made it. Terra went out, didn't come back in, this was extremly confusing as I had thought she was one of the best players and she had to have made the team. I went out second to last. NOT A GOOD PLACE TO BE. Though it worked out for me, apparently Kevin isn't very good at dramatic speaches as the first words he said was "Your on the team" I was greatly relived though I"m not sure I showed it. I was still very scared on what Holly would do if she didn't make it and I was pretty sure I was the last spot. However God must have had something to do with it when she to made the team. All happy we were until Coach informed us that we had a 9a.m practice the fallowing morning. Great.
So lets recap my current schudel that I had been on. School until 4 when drama got out, tryouts from 6-7:30, Lock-In at 8 until 8 the next morning, NO SLEEP, basketball practice at 9 until 11, symphony at 12 until 4 then dinner at 5:30 unitl 7 when we arrived home.
Laura's dad took us from practice to my house where I changed cloths, picked up cookies for the Lock-In and told my parents about basketball. They had a 30ft. obsitcle corse we could go threw that we played on for about 2hrs. Then we played rummy and pingpong unril about midnight, stopping ocasionaly for caffeen and junkfood. Midnight until 1 was a little speach thingy done by they youth minister and you know what? I actually injoyed it. Then we played put-put were we did misrable and decieded to burn the score cards so noone would ever know how bad we were. From 2 until about 2:45 we watched a movie while others played man-hunt. We decided we did need at least an hour of sleep so we went to the girls sleeping room where I sat in a chair which I didn't fit in, then a couch that was too small, all the while people running in looking for people who were still playing man-hunt. Got up around 5 only to find 2 people sitting on the main floor who had given up, and 2 others STILL looking for Seth who had been in hiding the ENTIRE time we had been sleeping. Around 5:30 he was found under a Piano, 7 was breakfest, pancakes and orange juice , yum. I lost 12hrs of sleep, and won a new C.D. All in all I'd say the lock in was a success.
Went home, changed cloths once again then was off to practice. In concrast to tryouts the nightbefore I did rather well. I set the practice record for a few drills and only managed a "minor" conflect with Renea'. I don't TRY to make her angry, but it's not my fault if shes an uptight jerk. I was afterall, only running on 3hrs of sleep and some orange juice which was threathening to come up. Were doing the outlet drill which actually envolves and outlet person, it is SO not cool to get the ball only to find out your ditzy outlet girl "Renea'" isn't there. So I yelled for her attenchion, I would of yelled no matter who it was, it's not anytihng personal, no disrepect or anything but she took it the wrong way "YOU WHO YELLING AT?" Well I was told to tell the truth so I just screamd "You!" and threw the pass. I wish I could experence the joy in sayingi that again, I was the hero of the shirmpey white girls for a full minunet! What an honor.... HOwever before I could accept an award Mom came and it was off to shower! Before we left it was known we have practice Monday at 6, which is the same time as chior....but thats another story.
A quick shower and a McDonalds happy meal later I was in the car headed to Indianapolis. All the way down they talked about my grandmother, how shes dieing, how expensive it is to keep the inhome care lady there, how and when Grandfather should sell the house. Basicly it was 2hrs of the same stuff they talk about EVERY time I see them together. I don't know if this is helps them but it really bugs me. I hear about all this stuff everday, yet the one day we can have something else to talk about its all that comes out of their mouths. I really want to yell shut up but insted I just listen to Hawk Nelson and try my best to tune it out.
Get the circle center watch the show which included danceing hookers and snowflakes *no offance to hookers or snowflakes* It was really good and I certnely enjoyed it other then the fact this anyoing little girl sang along to EVERY WAKIN SONG. She was just being a little kid though and you could tell she really liked it.
From there it was dinner were I ate so much chicken I thought my head would explode and had some of the best mash potatoes I had ever had in my life. It's one of thoese places they just bring the table food and soup and appitizers and dessert, you don't order they just bring. So I ate and ate and ate, then I slept on the way home and promptly went to bed for 14hrs where I am writing this now.
Kristi called and asked if I had made the team when I was asleep, that was very thoughtful. Jon left a message saying something about the monkey in his pants crys out to the malanchiolgy *its a comic* and that he pittied my busy soal. However I am free until 3 when I have a youth lunch with MY youthgroup and Monday I have Drama, chior, and practice. But you only live once right?
