Well at this exact moment, I am 1 hour and 25 minutes away from my eighteenth birthday. I will officially be considered an adult in this world. Although I will be considered an adult to most adults, on the inside I will always be a kid. Growing up seems exciting and all, and I am sure that I will grow up a bit over time, but I cannot see myself any other way. I cannot see myself as a boring adult behind a computer doing a job in a cubicle. Although that could possibly be my career, I will not be the average office worker. I intend on being able to make fun out of every opportunity that arises. I will always be the fun, carefree guy out of the office and hope to keep a lot of the friends I have now. A birthday is an exciting day. It's a day all about me. I hate to be selfish at times, but I think everyone deserves a day. I'm very excited for mine.
Today was actually a very great day. Aside from getting terribly graded papers in statistics, everything was easy, and things just flew right into track. Track on the other hand, was a bit more difficult.
This was definitely our most difficult work out thus far. We sprinted for a total of 2400 meters in intervals of 300 meter sprints. Currently my legs feel like absolute death. I also was quite embarrassed to be in the group I was. The best runners were in the group and I kinda got smoked. My times were solid, but not up to the standards of the group I was in. I looked a lot worse than I was performing based on the rest of my teammates. The work out ended, I stretched like no other, and called my mommy to pick me up. It was shopping time.
I was in dire need for new running shoes and spikes. We made it to my favorite running store in Robinson and my mom spent a pretty penny on my shoes this year. I really have to appreciate what she does for me more. Not just the money she spends on me, but the way she is always there for me. I know we bicker, words get exchanges, and I get angry with her, but in the end she is still my mother and I love her with all my heart.
Now I am here in my room. I haven't left aside from a shower I took after track as I am too sore to move. I am now just waiting for midnight to hit so my birthday can finally begin. It's been a tradition for me to stay up until midnight on my birthday because Kaci and I always text each other at midnight for our birthdays. Its simply a gesture to show how much we mean to each other, but it's been going on for 4 years, and it will continue as long as we are friends. That means it will go on forever.
Kaci is someone I never gave their own moment in my blog. I feel like tonight is the time. Mine and Kaci's friendship started in 8th grade. I honestly couldn't tell you how it started, but we had social studies with Mr. Bears in 8th grade and we talked pretty much every day. I developed this little middle school crush on her, but she always had a boyfriend and I never had a chance. In the end though, I'm glad we never dated. If something bad happened and our friendship started to end, I'm not sure where I would see myself now. She has been there for me every time I was in need, and I have done the exact same for her. You can basically say that we are best friends. The best of friends, and it has been like that for practically forever now. I can honestly say I love her like family. I will openly say she is practically my sister and I have her back in anything she needs. She has mine too. She's proved it plenty of times and I trust her with my life. Kaci has been through some rough times in her life. She has turned to me for a majority of the problems and I feel like I know more about her than I do almost any other person. Kaci is strong. She has overcame more pain that I can ever imagine experiencing, but she always comes out on top with a smile on her face. Sure there are tears in the process, but in the end she winds up happy. I'm proud to say that I helped her on these roads to recovery. Now we are in our senior year. Like every friendship, we have had our ups and downs. In the end, we always end up closer than we were before. I love this girl and I will always be there for her. She is starting her future and is moving on to great things in life. I have a lot of faith in her and she's going to be able to tackle any challenge in her way in college. I am so proud of her for everything she has done, and I know that we'll always stay close. That's what matters the most for us when we move on out of high school. She is the best friend any person could imagine having in their life.
That's all I got guys. In 1 hour and 5 minutes I will be capable of being put in jail. I'm not too concerned about that though. I'll be playing life very safe now... maybe. You never know what I'm going to do. Don't expect me to change who I am anytime soon though. Levi Seifert will always be the Levi Seifert you know and love. Thanks for reading everybody. I love you.
