Yep, I'm being lazy again. Actually, track practice wasn't that bad today (aside from the fact that I had to eat Subway again because I couldn't make it to dinner on time). I've switched my high jump approach to a more straight-on thing, which is insanely more comfortable for some reason (maybe I'm insane?)... I just need to get used to it. I actually cleared 4'6" in practice today, which is something I haven't done for a loooong time. I also cleared 3'8"ish standing (easily, even), which was fun. It's sort of proof that I am actually stronger than I was last year, because I could only do 3'6" at the most. It was also nice for my confidence, because I did better than two of the other high jumpers. Maybe I don't suck as much as I think I do? That's probably a universal constant for me though, because I always think I suck. Perhaps the new approach will work out for me, and I can maybe stop embarassing myself. It's already become obvious that my old take-off point from last year was doing me far more harm than good, since it was basically in front of the standard, leaving me to jump at the highest part of the bar. And my J was never ever consistant. Except of course when we actually drew it on the ground. I imagine I used more chalk than all of the other jumpers in my county.

Then, after I got my lovely Subway dinner (well, better than BJ at least, though I imagine I'll probably get sick of it this quarter), the bus was actually right outside. First time that's happened this quarter. Heh, maybe things are looking up? Perhaps it's a sign. Hehehe. Well, I'd better figure out what my reading for Hum is, and do it like I'm supposed to. Hooray for making this post before something else makes me bitter again. Though, sometimes it is fun to be insanely bitter, like while I was waiting for the bus today being causticly sarcastic about someone trying to compare catching a bus with GTA... then I started ranting on about stealing a random cab and picking up body armour behind Alpha Delt, and in some dark alley finding a giant floating pill that is drugs... or perhaps doing nothing but talk througout my life, occasionally having to battle things that you can't see. And perhaps carrying a sword that is four times my height. Or having to jump into giant machines to fight things. Or... or... wee! I am so bored!
