Just a Little Short

Well it has once again been awhile since I have updated, but I have an excuse this time! Ok well only sort of. Life has been quite hectic. Since my last post I've dealt with failing tests, not running a race for a month and then when I did run again being told that I couldn't run the hurdles. Everything semeed to be falling apart in one way or another and it was quite dreadful. I avoided blogging because I figured none of you particularly wanted to hear me complain about track, class and girls day after day. So I just sucked it up and moved along.

Now that the year is coming to an end, I'm done my finals in two days, life seems to have realigned itself. Classes are annoying but I'll survive, track is no longer imploding but rather trying to make up for it's previous lacking. I got 2nd place at our conference meet in the 400m and almost won the 4x4 ... if only that guy from Chicago hadn't clipped my heel down the final straightaway. Oh well, things are better considering I am now staying a few extra weeks to try and qualify for nationals in the 400 hurdles. It also seems that girls are once more confusing haha. Things may not always be what I'd like them too but that won't stop me from enjoying what I have. Seems to be my life motto as of late. I suppose I'm tired of putting so much energy into something only to watch it fall short once I get close to what I want, but considering it happens a lot (exaggerated statement of course) I've gotten used to settling for what I can get. Everything else always seems to go well regardless of what I do so I guess i should count myself lucky that this is the only real issue I have.

I truly am luckier than most and I always feel guilty for complaining about such a trivial thing. I mean if someone told you, "Hey I started hanging out with this girl a lot and now we're like the best of friends and I feel like I can tell her anything!" Would you consider that a failure? I don't, not really, but it's always a disappointment when you can't get things to turn out the way you want. Another great friend, yay?! Sometimes I really do think about things too much, but I wouldn't be me if I didn't now would I?

Well I suppose that's enough lamenting for one day, I've got two more finals to worry about along with closing the buildings and a few track meets (hopefully including Nationals). Good luck to you guys on your finals, if you have any left. Summer will be here soon and I will have lots of fun stories from Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Labs so I'll actually try posting somewhat regularly.

Until next time, Shadow out :-D
