Monday: sharp like barbed wire
rise and shine on literally no hours of sleep. i woke up at around 7:30 for 2 reasons: no school and i must wash my hair. you guys i don’t even wanna think about how long i’ve been torturing my poor luscious locks by hoisting them up in this stank lil bun. it was finally wash day because i had plans for my coach to twist my hair after practice. i had a pretty quick and easy wash day even though detangling after twists or braids is like mojo top 10 worst experiences ever. after i washed my hair i headed to practice. we have a game on thursday so practice is more conditioning and skill based, once we get closer to game day we’ll work scouting and large scale situational things…
ngl you guys… i am so glad that my coach couldn’t twist my hair after practice cause she probably would’ve beat me up. everyone was in a silly goofy mood, but like too goofy to the point where we were not running the right defense (it’s important to note i was doing the right thing but i was extra giggly). anyways it was a tad unfocused.
somehow practice ended at 12:20 pm… and my roommate and i finished getting showered, eating our lunch snacks, and climbed in bed at 1:51 pm? i have no clue where the time went but it literally doesn’t take an hour and a half to finish those tasks.
i napped until 3:40 ish and when i woke up i made some spanakopita and it was delicious. i ate like 8 of the spinach pies and then my teammate who literally has never twisted hair before came over to twist my hair : ) shoutout! remember when i blow dried my teammate’s hair last week (literally 3 days ago from this day)? same girly! she did a really good job and i forced her to watch glee with me while i was getting my hair done.
after i finished getting my hair done i took my women’s health quiz and attempted to go to sleep… however it proved to be a little difficult (don’t nap guys it ruins your sleep schedule).
Tuesday: emotionally unavailable
oops. my roommate and i woke up a tad bit late for practice. i blame it on the fact that we tossed and turned all night. my roommate literally admitted to thinking her alarms were apart of her dream. we got up at 5:13 for 5:40 practice. we typically are out the door by 5:20 ish and i didn’t leave until 5:27… soerrr! yeah! i sped walk though so i made it to the athletic facility by like 5:35 ish.
practice was pretty good, we didn’t run too much. everyone was in a good mood and we played 3 v 3 continuous lacrosse with tennis balls. twas very fun and my team made it to the final championship where we tied. after practice we had lift and HE FINALLY SWITCHED IT UP! we’ve been doing the same lift variation for a while now and i was getting a little tired of it. we added med ball slams, kettle bell swings, and 3 way lunges to the lift routine.
i sprinted to breakfast after lift and then ran back to the dorm to attempt to make it to accounting kinda on time. i got there around 10 so not my best but very far from my worst. right now we’re working on FIFO and LIFO… ig iykyk?
remember how i was talking about missing a ton of business problem solving? yeah well we’re on excel stuff now and i had literally nothing filled out. matter of fact… i didn’t even know we had completed a full spreadsheet. how fun! i love a challenge! i caught up by the end of class because i’m a little smartie pants. i met with my professor at the end of class to talk about missing class on thursday for the game and he was super chill about it. he was also wearing a color blocked paisley cardigan with a gold chain??? didn’t know he had it like that tbh.
after class i went to grab some new lacrosse gear : ) but i had to take the scariest elevator of all time. it actually makes me think i’m preparing to go work in the mines or something? and then i headed back to my room to shower and get ready to meet my friends at the library for a very intense grind session. normally my friends don’t go to the library with me if they actually have work to do because i am a chronic yapper but i did not have time to play around today. i had 5 assignments due. AND I FINISHED THEM ALL IN 3 HOURS CAUSE IM A GREMLIN? HELLO? give me my award. idk what award but like i deserve THE award. we decided to be done around 5 and went to eat dinner at the dining hall. dinner was so incredibly mid… and the walk home(to my dorm room) was miserable because i decided not the wear a coat in 40 degree weather.
once i got home i started on a cover letter for an internship i need to apply for yesterday. i called my parents and my best friend very briefly before chatting to my suitemate and making a post dinner snack.
Wednesday: accounting is my entire life.
hey what’s up you guys. lmfao. i cannot stop mocking 2016 youtube intro’s and idk how to fix that. but i definitely should try soon.
during practice we did one of the most iconic drills of all time: our coach throws the worst passes she can think of in your general direction and you try really hard to catch them and pass them back. lol! it’s like dodgeball with lacrosse balls instead of soft foam.
after practice i got breakfast and went home to get ready for school. i got ready relatively quickly before heading to my us history class where we started our mid term review… you guys??? i have so much work to do. i am behind on accounting notes. i haven’t started studying for this midterm that’s in a week. i need to go all gas no breaks. except i fear that’s what i’ve been doing? so. literally no rest.
after class i went to the athletic support building for 3.5 hours, i always do my psychology class in there. but this time i was grinding out 15% of my chapter 4 accounting notes and both the chapter 5 accounting homework and post quiz. i actually didn’t know chapter 5 that well but i taught myself as i went and did really well.
i walked back to my dorm really proud of myself and took a 30 min break before heading to the dining hall for dinner with my roommate. they were serving italian sausage and like philly cheesesteaks and ngl… not bad? i had the italian sausage with some broccoli and cauliflower. we ran into our friend (the one who came to our game last week), and talked for a good 30 minutes lol. after dinner my roommate and i stopped off at our locker room to make sure she had her travel suit for the game.
on our way home we were searching for a shuttle to take except one deliberately sped past us and the other one said it would be 40 min before we would make it back to our dorm… literally what.
when we got home i had no real work to do so i called my best friend from home and got ready for bedsies!
Thursday: game day.
no practice on game days is actually the best blessing in the world. i got ready super early for my accounting class and dressed pretty bummy. my roommate and i both went to breakfast to meet some of the freshies before class. it was interesting because it seems like every single sports team was there in the morning? and normally we only see 1-2 teams eating in the morning. one of the freshies spilled water all over herself and the floor and that was my sign to leave for class.
i absolutely could not focus on my accounting? i don’t know why i tried to go without medication since the game literally didn’t start until 5 but very very rookie mistake. i did not retain anything and the class felt like it took forever.
when i got home i took some more chapter 4 notes until it was time to leave for the athletic building. our new travel suits are very cutie! i had to run and flag down a shuttle so that me and my suitemate did not have to walk all the way up that hill. thank goodness they stopped for us. because sometimes. they don’t. and you look very silly waving in the middle of the street to a bus that’s driving away.
i love bus rides but i was very much in my head during this one. the music was just like painfully relatable. i also know a lot of people on this team so i was kinda excited to play this game for other reasons.
sigh. sigh. sigh. y’all, i don’t even know what to say. this game was truly, authentically, horrible. defense, which is typically the strength of our team, was just not working together at all. and you’re supposed to play on a string, if you know what that means. essentially, if a couple people are off, the entire set is messed up. there was a lightning delay. it was a very physical game, lots of fouling, carding out, and illegal plays. also their field was so incredibly short, the transition was basically 3 seconds long. if that.
when we returned i was in a kinda pissy mood even though i personally didn’t play that badly. i got home and my suite had our little post game hash out and i watched the film from the game after facetiming my parents.
Friday: two times in one week is simply ridiculous
started off the day at 3:52 am with the cutest fire alarm in the world! how adorable! but my suitemate and i couldn’t sleep so we sat up and talked on her floor for a good hour before going back to sleep. i woke up again to good news: NO PRACTICE! and wow i needed that because my body was in some pain.
i got up and lazily got ready for the day. i had mango and blueberry chia seed pudding for breakfast and was out of the door by 11. i met the freshies on the yard and headed to the athletic support building to find it almost completely vacant?? not a single soul in there. i invited one of the freshies to do a good deed letter with me for the week and we had fun with my portable printer while watching her twin’s game against stony brook.
after spending an hour there, i left for history class where we went over the potential mid-term questions for next week’s exam. and i’m really excited to study for it but then it started to sink in that i literally have no time for this. NO TIME! NONE AT ALL. my parents are flying in, i have an interview, accounting notes, assignments, a research paper due in a month, internship applications… NO TIME! so i was freaking out… then i sat down to work for a couple of hours and completed everything i needed to do… and there is actually little reason to be stressed, i just need to prioritize.
i walked back to my dorm anxious and in pain. i’ve really been praying a lot for guidance and signs. and let me tell you. the signs are not at all subtle. like all of a sudden out the cut. BIG RED FLASHING SIGNS. so idk we’ll see, ig. i’m not making the first move though.
the pain is related to my shin splints. and i was in tears. no lie. but then this girl complimented my outfit on the elevator : ) tehe! all is well in the world.
my teammates and i planned a cute night out to the movies to go see “anyone but you” and we took the metro. the walk from the metro stop was insane? they said 15 minutes but they definitely lied. they being goo goo maps. i don’t trust those girls over there at all tbh.
the movie was… hmm. made me question if “taking time to myself” was really even necessary because… a rebound didn’t sound like too bad of an idea after that movie. it was very corny, like my mom would def enjoy it. sydney sweeney’s acting was very disappointing. idk if euphoria was like the perfect role for her or what but like WOW. it was a little painful.
we took a lyft home and i talked to my suitemate until it was time for me to go to sleep.
Saturday: reinventing kenny
happy day game eve! my body is very unhappy with me! i occasionally have some problems with my hip flexors and today they were letting me know that i’ve done too much in the past week. but none of that matters because i had practice at a smooth 9 am. practice was pretty low intensity to save bodies and defense ended early with film : ) there was a really limited scout for this team so there wasn’t much film to watch. i skipped dining hall breakfast and trudged home to eat some blood oranges while i facetimed my friends from home.
after talking to them i showered and started working on my accounting notes and a virtual interview for an internship that i really want. and guys i totally screwed up one of the questions… like truly and genuinely. best part is i don’t even know how to remedy this because you can’t rerecord any of your answers. i sent a little paragraph explaining what happened but… i might have to kiss that opportunity goodbye.
i started getting ready for the basketball game right after i bombed my quirky little interview. i met one of the freshmen on the yard and we headed over to the gym together. she made us sit in the literal nose bleeds of the student athlete section- for what reason? i don’t know. the game was really fun to watch! it was greek night, which is always exciting. we played morgan state and it was a very competitive, back-and-forth game. i thoroughly enjoy watching sports and especially when the competition is good.
we left the game 10 ish minutes before the end and i took a lyft to meet my parents for dinner at the wharf. i was so very excited to see them and they’re staying for a pretty decent amount of time : ) i ordered steak tacos and then we split a bread pudding desert (the phone did not eat first, don’t look too close). we quite literally devoured it in 3 minutes and i’m going to choose not to be embarrassed about it.
after dinner i hung out in the hotel room for around 30 minutes before taking a lyft back homesies.
i kept craving sweet treats late at night? i am like super hungry these days idk what is going on but i got at least 4 midnight snacks before finally heading to sleep.
