Not going to lie; my brain has felt like it's been put through a blender these past few days. But these past few days have been fairly interesting and fun. Come on, it's college, right? It's supposed to be fun.
Right?
Today was my first day of classes, second day of Cross Country running practice, seventh day of living in this city and only one of the many days where I will be very confused about everything going on. College is going to be a blasty-blast. My classes are looking good, I think I will enjoy them, although some seem a bit tough. Whatever, I'll push through them.
Yeah, I joined the Cross Country team at the college and holy, the pressure is definitely on! Out coach, B.J., had told us he believes we are the best team in Canada (in our division, I'm guessing) on paper and he's for sure going to try his best to get us to Nationals and win. Really, I think I will do fairly well, so far I've been doing good (so says my other team mates). I think B.J. has commented twice or three times about my upper body strength. I am quite "buff" due to push-ups and such that I do before bed or whenever I feel like it. He can tell when I run because I am stiff in the shoulders so he's trying to get me to relax my arms. "Officer-girl" is what he has called me (I am in a program that will get me into the Conservation and Fish and Wildlife field of work as an officer). Ha. I am hoping I will do really well, I am reallyreallreally excited for this season! Today was probably the longest run I have ever ran and the whole time I was trying to keep pace with the older girls (I'm 17, the one is 22 and the other 26) and one of them was last year's National Champion. Yeah, the pressure is definitely on.
Yeah, it's going to be a stressful month or so. I've been told it will calm down in a bit by some but also have been told it's only get worse by others so we'll see how things go. Hopefully it won't become worse...
