ankle business

Last Friday morning, like every other Monday, Tuesday, and Friday morning's my day begins at 5:15 when I am awakened by my alarm clock for 6am dry-land. I usually shut my alarm off and make it go off again at around 5:30. I roll out of bed and put my shoes on and leave. However on Friday, it all started off when my alarm clock decided not to go off and I was woken up by my friend pounding on the door, waiting for me to go to dry-land with her. As soon as I woke up I could tell that this was going to be a rough and long day. Just as dry-land was just getting intense, I started to get real tense. As we continued, we started doing some lateral movements in the shape of a rectangle. I was doing pretty good, until...I fell. I twisted/rolled my ankle and fell right to the floor. My ankle immediately swelled up to the size of a baseball, but I just kept doing the exercises until the end of dry-land. By the end I was in an immense amount of pain and my ankle was huge and black and blue. When I fell, I heard and felt a pop in my ankle. Being the stubborn person that I am, I didn't go to the trainers or anything and just kept moving on it all weekend. I went home to a girls house on my team for the weekend so I just didn't think of it. It was extremely painful, but I was so into being in a different setting for the weekend. On Monday, the ankle was just as bad, and Monday's are circuit days at dry-land, and on this Monday we had to do a bunch of jumping and especially on one leg, it was horrible. On Tuesday, my mother made me go to the trainers room and get it checked out because it just wasn't getting any better. I went and after spending almost 2 hours in the room, I received stim, and was iced, and a nice massage on my ankle. Since then the swelling went down a little bit, but I still have to go back everyday and get stim and ice and make sure its doing okay. They believe that it is a sprain.

freshman....are disgusting

This year's freshman are so disrespectful, that it makes me sick. Last night I went to the study lounge, to study for my test today in Child Psych. I entered the room around 8pm and was there until 12am. I left once to go get a drink was immediately back within one minute. I was doing really good with my studying and coming along really well. Around 11pm a whole group of freshman girls and a few boys from my hall entered the room, the girls were screaming and talking very loudly and laughing. In general they were just plain loud and obnoxious. I was getting pretty aggravated the a few boys who were eating dinner quietly in the back, told them to be quiet because I was studying. In response to the boys request, one snotty, obnoxious girl told him to shut the f*** up. This statement totally got me wound up. I couldn't believe how disrespectful this girl was. Last year I never told anyone that and I never went around screaming and being loud and obnoxious. It totally caught me off guard and I honestly just wanted to put a blow to this girls head. As I sat there still doing my work, trying to contain my anger, they continuously kept being loud and then a couple of kids read their speeches in the lounge. Not only were the girls disrespectful to me but also to their own friends who were reading their speeches in the lounge. They kept interrupting them and wouldn't shut up. They soon left, but were still loud out in the hall. I tried my best to get my studying done so I could go to bed and get some rest. I am completely disgusted with this years freshman and can't believe how disrespectful they are. They also leave their hair all over the shower walls and pee on the seats in the bathrooms. One more thing and they'll have another thing coming.

95 babyyyyyyy

I've never been one to do good on tests. I get nervous and I tend to tense up and everything that I ever knew, completely leaves me, it is not a good trait. One time in high school on a regents, I forgot my name, thats how bad it is! However, last year through asap I worked on doing better on tests and trying not to get so nervous. I am still shaky and get rather tense. I don't even get nervous before games like this. However this year I started off bad already, I got behind before I even knew it. I had one test two weeks ago, and once again I got very nervous and freaked out. Leaving me write things that didn't make sense and attempting to finish the test within 40 min. Whenever I am going to be judged I get nervous. The same thing happens with essays. I get so lost and confused in my work that I just write whatever to get it done, because I get more frustrated as it goes on. Last night I studied 4 hours in the study lounge trying to do my best to know all the information for my test today in Child Psych. After/during my test today I felt as if I did a good job and new all the information except for one question, in which I knew the answer but totally forgot it. I was excited that I thought that the test was easy and did a good job, now I just have to wait for the real results. After my test this morning, I had another class, Cultural Anthropology. In this class we took a test on last Friday. We got the test back at the end of the class and I received a 95 on the test! I was so excited, the score is so rare for me, that it felt so good to get a good grade for once.

baby news

Last weekend ended up being kinda blah instead of as exciting as I thought it was going to be. I was still excited to go home and when I got home, my parents took my brother, Craig and I out to dinner to the Smokehouse. It was a Friday so everyone got a fish fry. Saturday i woke up early and got moving because we had to leave for my dad's teams game at 10:15am. Their game was at noon in Niagara, up by Buffalo. They got their butts kicked and didn't look the best ever. I was upset because they played so much better over the summer.
After the game on Saturday, I came home and just sat around and took a nap in the air conditioning! It felted so good compared to my hot room here at school. Saturday night my mom and I went shopping for the baby shower. We bought so much stuff! Everything was so cute, and we couldn't decide what we really wanted and what she really needed, so we just got everything. I already bought some stuff by myself for my friend before I came to school, so i also had that stuff. After the shopping experience, my mom and I wrapped all the gifts and had fun writing funny things on the gifts.
Sunday morning, I also started early. I got up and ate breakfast and showered fast. We weren't leaving my house until 11am for the baby shower but I had a few errands to run before we left. I had to run up to Wegmans (my place of employment) and tell them that I could work Thanksgiving and October break. While I was up there, I got a flower arrangement for my mom because today, September 13th is her birthday, and I wasn't going to be home, so I bought her a card and flowers. She was really excited and it made me feel good inside.
Soon after getting home, my mom and I left for the baby shower. I was so excited to get there and see her finally! When I first saw her I just couldn't believe my eyes. Her stomach was so big and dropped a ton already. She just seemed so much grown up since the last time I saw her. It was so exciting and it really made my weekend. The shower went great, except for I ate way to much food. She got A TON of stuff for Savannah(her baby). Everything was so cute and so exciting. I just still couldn't believe my best friend since I was basically born was about to have a newborn. I met her boyfriend and that was also exciting to see the father of her baby.
Today I found out that at her doctors appointment yesterday, her doctor told her, that she defiantly will not make it to her next appointment, on Tuesday. Meaning that she will be having Savannah very soon! I am so excited and can't wait to see both of them afterwards!

this coming weekend

This upcoming weekend I am making my first trip home of the year. This will be the first time I'm going home this year, and although it's rather soon, I couldn't be happier. My best friend from when I was born basically all throughout high school, is pregnant and due October 9th, so this weekend is her baby shower! I didn't get to see her all summer so I haven't seen her pregnant yet, and I am really excited. She is so small, and I can only imagine her with a big ol' belly on her now. Although she is only 19 years old, she is very happy and cannot wait for the birth of her baby girl, whom she's going to name Savannah.
This weekend is also going to be exciting because my brother is coming to pick me up from school. My brother has been up here once, in the past year and he only came to see my game then left right after. Hopefully he can see my dorm this year and what not. I consider my brother and I very close. We get along always now a days. Although we pick on each other non-stop it's all for laughs. My brother is very important to me! Ever since I was little I wanted to exactly like him, and now I still look up to him. So getting to see him this weekend when I'm home and spending two hours in the car with him is very exciting.
The third reason why I am very excited to go home this weekend is because my dad and brother coach a hockey team in Brockport, the team is a Midget Major team. The guys are ages 15-17. I helped coach these kids all summer and I have been lost since I've been here not getting my daily dosage of laughters. Last year my dad told me how great of a team they were and how they were awesome kids and this summer I finally got a chance to see why. They were my life over the summer and it's hard not skating with them every Monday and Wednesday nights. I can't wait until I become a coach someday. :)

Sore

Two days ago started our pre-season for hockey. As the package of a new coach, we also received a new workout plan and a new pre-season plan. We started off on Tuesday morning at 6:30, Tuesday was strictly just testing to see where we are at before we started the training. It consisted of sit-ups, push ups, and two different distances of shuttle runs. It was very tiring, but afterwards i automatically started to feel better about the upcoming season. The next morning i woke up sore, but still had to wake up at 5:15am for another 6am workout. This workout was more intense. We did a circuit type of program which took us 2 hrs to complete. Afterwards i had to run straight to class seeing as it went late and my class started at 8am. Right after class i new it was going to be a rough day. I started to feel a lot of pain while walking and even worse going up stairs or hills. After i was finished with my classes, I went with my friends on my hockey team Janie and Kalee to say goodbye to Janie's brother as he is leaving for North Carolina on Friday to reside down there. It was really sad but i was happy i got to see him before he left, because he has been there for me even though i just met him not so long ago, he is going to be truly missed. After lunch, we had our first captains practice. Everyone was sore from a long morning on working out, so it was interesting, but mostly everyone was happy to be on the ice once again. We only had the ice for an hour so it was short but still very tiring. I am so happy and excited for hockey to start up again. Hockey is my life and without it things just don't make sense. So i was very excited when i realized we got a new coach, one who is willing to make us better and push us to our very best that we can perform at.
