I feel about 248529762628946 times better.
We lost 5-4 tonight, and I didn’t play at all in the first half, but I played almost all of the second half and it was so much better. I stepped up and intercepted balls, had good block tackles, and managed to stop their center mid in the circle most of the time (and she made Futures Elite, so feeling pretty good about that).
Despite the fact that our center mid stomped off at halftime and...

Sat down to do calculus homework
…ended up writing my AP English personal essay that isn’t due for another two weeks.
Why am I a math-science-technology major, again?

We lost our game 8-3, and I only played 15 minutes of the second half, and I played like shit. Basically, for the rest of the season I’m probably not going to be starting, and I won’t get much time at all because I have been playing so horribly that I know I don’t deserve to be on the field. I’m a senior, and a captain, and I started all of last season. And...
holy SHIT
Yankees 7-6 Tampa Bay
is this—what, is this some kind of cosmic joke or some such shit

sometimes I feel like I need to apologize to everyone for my tendency to blast “Don’t Look Back in Anger” while I’m driving
and then I say fuck it, because that is an awesome song and I don’t care what you think

callmemejjin replied to your post: people on my dash are complaining about Radiohead
Nothing anyone will say will convince me that Radiohead is great. I just can’t get into it.
Eh, different strokes for different folks. The Bends and OK Computer are in my top ten favorite albums of all time. /noshame

in which I flail around about how fantastic Kenyon...
I loved it so much. The overnight was wonderful—everything from the food to the setting to the team to the coach to class to the dorms.
The girls on the team are so nice, and there’s only 14 of them, meaning I would probably get significant playing time next year. And the coach told me I have a spot on the team if I want it.
Admissions has said I’ll get in. The coach wants me...

at Kenyon
and I don’t want to leave
college is going to be fantastic
I just had a legitimate panic attack about college
because I only found out today that I’ve been nominated for this scholarship, and I have to have a teacher rec by next Wednesday, and my English teacher wants a month to write letters
fuck everything
guess I’m throwing myself on Profe’s mercy
I'm sorry I'm being so passive-aggressive about...
just…give me a few days to be a jerk about it? and then I will return to rational behavior.
one of the rare occasions where the use of “it’s not you, it’s me” is actually appropriate.

basically I'm really pissed off
we fucking lost again; Morgan and I got pulled midway through the first half and sat on the sidelines for the rest of the game; this is bullshit; we are not the only ones who make mistakes; etc., etc.
we’re texting a lot again and I’m not sure how I feel about it, especially since you might come to our game next week?
if I tell you something in confidence, that means you probably...

this, only with a dark purple skirt and a lavenderish top
two H&M dresses
this white dress with blue-black dots that’s fitted and sleeveless and high-necked and looks kind of like my prom dress, only more like something from Mad Men, and ugh, I love it so much
and all of this was $58 total
and basically I’m going to be on Polyvore for the rest of the night, playing with my new...

Homecoming is mandatory?
The pep rally is, because it takes place during school.

i’ll come down there and fuck their shit up for you
I could not care less about homecoming
and I really don’t give a fuck about our Mexican theme or the fact that people are complaining about racism and stereotyping (an accusation that admittedly has some validity; I never planned on dressing up, but I’ll be attending because it’s mandatory).
But all the people attacking them for “lack of school spirit” and being “haters” need to shut the fuck...

I’m done.
If we can’t play better than that, then my senior season is a gigantic waste. Absolute and total shit.
And if you think that I’m putting up with your shit any more, you’re even more self-absorbed and delusional than I thought. We all get that you think you’re better than everyone else: above this team, above these people, above making sacrifices. Yeah, I...

hernameisjana replied to your post: Okay, I’m feeling better.
have you checked some of the music I recc’d you?
Yes, I have! And they were all good. I really liked Soda Stereo (so much like Talking Heads), Babasónicos, and Ataque77. Thank you so so much again!
Okay, I'm feeling better.
I’ve finished all my AP Spanish, and now I just have reading to do.
Trying to relax as best I can about college stuff. The WashU scholarship actually doesn’t require a teacher rec, so I was panicking last night for nothing. asfjadgalsdgd sometimes I really hate my tendencies toward anxiety.
Here, have some nice things to look at for putting up with me.
