Haven't been so happy

Yesterday was...nearly perfect. If the Varsity girl's team had won, it would have been. My mom walked me to the school, and I got there at exactly 4:45. In the morning. Bleh...
I was loaded down with my bags/pillow/blanket/everything else on this earth that my mom thought I could possibly need, and loaded most of it below the bus. Bonus though, because she actually let me bring the iPod. I sat next to Jen for the....hmmm...five hour bus ride? yeah. But I slept the whole time except the last half hour, in which Mr. Crockett made SURE we were all up. When I did wake up however, I realized something. I was more awake than I've been in two months! Hmmmm...

So we got to Vilseck, and started exclaiming over everything we drove by because this base? Has houses. REAL houses. Like with stretching lawns and multiple floor levels and garages ect ect. And not just for the officers either, like with ours. These houses were EVERYWHERE. It was so pretty.

The track/field (pretty) was in a kind of valley thing, or at least it was at the bottom of a downward slope. The bleachers stretched all across the edge of the field and were built into the hill, so they weren't metal or uncomfortable. behind the bleachers the hill extended into some trees before reaching a fence, so there was shade if you wanted it. We did lose the first game, pretty badly, but I couldn't honestly say I felt bad about my performance because I didn't get to play. We stripped off our shin guards and crap pretty quickly while the guys got ready to play, and promptly fell asleep tanning on the bleachers, all stretched out with our new sweaters as pillows. We were attempting to fix our soccer tans (dumb shin guards) but our thighs just got more tans as our legs did, so all of us are still messed up. Oh well.

The second game was amazing. I was playing right defender, and I was jus tinto it. I got every 50-50 ball, played all the defensive positions when the others couldn't make it, but most importantly I was fast. And not tired at all, which is DEFINETLY a first. Better yet, the coach noticed it. Ha, well that's what he gets for not putting me in the first game. We all played so much harder than varsity, because we were fueled by rage. Our team shouldn't have lost so we were like rar, let's win. Afterwards was another tanning session, and then we hung out under the lovely shaded trees and ate our hordes of gummi bears that all of had brought. Everyone had either an ipod or a book, and for the first time, I was with them at that. Well, first for the ipod. I got the book thing dooooown.

We went to shower at the Vilseck gymnasium, and we got individual showers, but the guys all had to share one big one. They complained for hours. We went to their PX to go to the food court, and they had like 8 different places to eat! Not fair!!!!! I picked up a comic for my brother at the Bookmark, and we all raided the Baskin Robbins. Poor guy, there was only one man working the whole thing. The bus ride back was a bit more talkative, but mostly more ignoring of everyone and pathetic attempts to sleep in the seats that suddenly seemed much smaller and uncomfortable than they had that morning. I got back, but I found out two days later that I had left my cleats on the bus. And Coach Crockett found them Whoooooops......

But over all, though I can't really say way, I was at complete peace the whole day. I think that was why I was able to completely get into the game and get every ball. I hade made a mistake the game before, because I wasn't fast enough to stop this girl from scoring. I needed one more step, and I hadn't got it. This game though, the same thing was about to happen, and I stopped her enough that the goalie was able to get it. For once, I was actually happy with myself. I guess I haven't been lately.

Oh yes and sorry if this was boring. I just wanted a record for myself.
