Saturday rain...hey, let's go biking!

I just got in from my first soccer game, which we played in the freezing pouring rain. I'm completely numb...I can barely think or type. When we arrived, I realized that I was the only one not wearing a long-sleeved shirt under her jersey. Jenna had four shirts on. I had one and a half, as well as a pair of Jenna's gloves. I think I understand now why people say they start to feel warm right before they die of hypothermia. I can't actually talk right now because I've been gasping cold air for an hour and my throat is killing me.

We had nine players; the other team, sixteen. Whether we were out of shape or no, it was a very hard game, especially since the other team kept sending out fresh players. There were only two of us playing halfback, and we were running so hard I felt like I was going to fall over and die right then and there. And Kaj would get the shirt a little earlier than expected. We actually won the game on thursday, but we lost this one (against Marissa's team) two to zero.

Yes. I love soccer.

Earlier today, I tried to get into the school to get my science/history books for studying. Meeting Kaj and Weiner there, we walked around the entire school trying every door before managing to get inside. We were going up the stairs at about nine twenty five in the morning when the janitor came and yelled at us. Apparently rehearsal didn't start until ten, "9:30 at the earliest." So I meekly followed them back outside, where we met Alice and Isaac. We then walked around to the front field and listened to Kaj's running commentary on the atom girls' soccer league playing there until about five minutes to 10.

I've realized that I have two main nightmares. One is being trapped on one of those neverending staircases you find in optical illusion books and such. The other one is that my life is just like in The Truman Show and everyone really knows everything about me.

Thanks for the lift, Jenna.

How free we fly when cares are forgotten.
