Well this is my final blog of the night. I'm finally caught up, and I feel quite accomplished. It feels good to get all this typed out again. So here we go...
I can't say much about school today really aside from it was my first day back with Eryne and it just felt perfect to be able to kiss her again. It felt good to just have that in my daily routine of things. But aside from that the only exciting school moment I had was Mr. Quinn talking about explosive diarrhea. So I'll just skip ahead to track.
I'm realizing track is the true sport I love the most. The people, coaches, and just the pure care free fun makes it a priceless experience. No matter how sore I am, I'm always ready to go. Today was the first day we did hurdles and I just received a ton of compliments from my coach to start practice off. Ben has known me for four years and knows what I am capable of. He used me for every example and it felt nice to know that right now I am the best. I am number one on the team for hurdles and I guess I just feel accomplished. I am really excited for the year ahead of me. We worked out a decent workout and let me tell you. My friend Josh Coury is really impressing me. He has the potential to get himself into the starting relay and be one of our top sprinters. I really wish he would have started earlier and would have been part of this track tradition for all these years. We have him now though and that's what matters the most. The highlight of the day though was seeing the hurdle family come back. Zach Simmen, Tommy Bruni, Mike Ross, Jenna Reilly, Linda Zysk, and I are the returning members. We have quite a few new members this year. No boys, which means a lot of people will have to step up next year when I leave, but a lot of new potential in the girls. The breakout hurdler this year is going to either be Lauren or Linda.
This is Linda's second years. She's quick and worked her way to being one of our top last year. She is going to get the technique and fundamentals down this year and really turn some heads from the decent freshman she was last year into a really competitive hurdler in the section and possibly WPIAL this year.
Lauren is a freshman. Although she is a freshman, boy is she freaking fast. Like too fast for a girl her age it seems like. She just started hurdling this year in indoor track and dominated. She even broke the school freaking record! I have such high hopes for her this year and her next three years. I'll pray she stays healthy all these years like I do every night for every member of the team. She has the potential to be freaking amazing at running. She has her mind set on it and isn't distracted by anything else. She has the right attitude to succeed and I know she will.
Track ended and it was time for the hockey game. Final game of the season as on of the biggest fans and I was ready. The game was just great. We got up 3-0 and looked amazing on the ice. We looked a little sloppy at one point in the game and it resulted in letting up a goal, but it's ok. We picked it back up. The sad part of the game was I didn't see the 4th goal or most of the 3rd period. Gardock, Bonjo, Eryne, Jaclyn, Morgan, Tom, Dustin, Dalton, and I were all kicked out by a cop for chanting profanities. I will admit I took part until the warning and then I stopped. Kids in the third row of the fans started it up again and the cop had enough. Honestly he was doing his job, he just made the wrong decision on who to throw out. Rows 1 and 2 were ejected. We argued and were threatened with citations. That word got me right down to the escort out. A huge shout out goes to Dylan and Tommy. Dylan was playing with the cop asking him to move while he continued to watch the game. Tom's exit was epic. He stood up, raised his arms in the air to get the crowd going, and left peacefully. We were then escorted outside. We kinda just sat there and talked and joked around with everyone waiting for the game to end. The cops had to watch us until we left so we weren't allowing them to see the game if we couldn't. Eventually, the cop broke down and let us in for the final 6 minutes. Our return got everyone going and the game was back for our viewing. The game ended with a 4-1 victory solidifying our spot as the number 1 season champions. The game was an epic way to end the season with the best fans in the building getting kicked out for cheering too hard. It was a great night.
Now this is where I am today. Sitting on my laptop in my room laughing at everything that happened today. It was an amazing day to say the least. But I have to give one final shout out. This one is to my sister Lexi. We bicker and fight and in our past I've threatened her life quite a bit. Like family, we always end up loving each other in the end. She made the sign for me tonight which was huge for me. She really helped me out tonight and I promised her this paragraph for that. She is a lot like me in a lot of ways aside from intellect. She is immature, athletic, and a fun person with lots of friends. I see myself a lot in her which has potential to be not so great in some aspects. She is entering high school next year and needs to keep a level head and be smarter about her decisions than I was during my high school career. Family is forever and I love her to death. She has a bright future ahead of her. I don't know exactly what she is going to do, but I know she'll succeed and be happy.
Well guys, this is the end of the night. I'm all caught up and satisfied with everything that has happened to me recently. I got really lucky, and have learned a lot. I learned who the truly important people in my life are and I will love all of them forever. Thank you for reading all of these. I know it was a lot. Goodnight everyone. I love you
