Hey, whats up everyone. This is my first post in my new journal, so I'll give you a heads up of what's been going on since I last updated my old one. Yes, I did have another Bravenet journal before, but it became a jumbled mess so I decided to start fresh with this new one. Anyways, alot has happened. First off, I joined my school's Track team, and found out that I didn't suck as bad as I thought. All I need to do is continue to work hard and I may find myself on the Varsity team in no time. I forgot the thrill of competing, and when I went to my first track meet in about 3 years, it came back. I am completely devoted to getting better and pushing myself to my full potentail, but it won't be easy. Catching up after 2 years of being inactive has been one of the hardest things that I have ever had to do, but I want this more than anything.
Second, I got four of my wisdom teeth removed. They drugged me up before I got there, so I didn't feel a thing and I had no idea what was going on. Haha, one of my friends stopped by, but I was so drugged up that I couldn't talk. So, after the drugs wore off and my headache went away, I felt the pain on my gums, even after taking the pain killers. It hurt for about a week - it was bareable, but it still HURT.
Third, as you may have seen, I have built myself a personal site where I will record everything that goes on as I venture on the path to my dream. Yes I want to join the US Olympic team, that is my dream. Not many people believe in me, but I will soon earn their respect.
And Fourth, I have developed a sudden interest in spead skating. One day my friends and I went ice skating just to see what it was like, and I had been roller blading before so it wasn't THAT new to me. One of my friends was a pro, and I was afraid that I would slip and fall, but as soon as I stepped on the ice with my cheap blue skate, it felt the same. I pushed myself off without thinking and went around with ease. Everyone was surprised including myself. Roller Blading did help, a lot. So we just went around and I felt an urge to go faster. I started weaving in between people and kept going faster and faster. Before I knew it, I was going full-out and found myself turning the same way they do in the Olympics (where they put one foot over the other), without thinking. I heard one of the rink gaurds yell out "slow down," I think it was to some other kid but I still slowed down just incase. Ice Skating is much better than roller blading - you glide easier, you can go MUCH faster, and even though you may have a lot of people in front of you who keep slowing you down, it's just fun to go around the rink with less than a millimeter of blade seperating you from the ice. So ya, I'm now into speed skating, some people find that stupid, but they take it the wrong way. After high school, I may go to college up north to learn how to snow board and speed skate, and mabye even compete in those sports too.

Ever since I joined Track, the world seems to be openning up to me for the first time. All the stress and much-hated memories I leave behind in the other journal are gone. I feel like I have a reason to live again. Competing is alot of fun and I atleast hope to make state. Well, that about it for now. Feel free to explore my site and leave me messages. I am always open to messages. Check back soon for more updates which I will post about weekly until the site gains more populatiry, then I'll update more frequently.
