veromato, me
Found this in my drafts from a while back, but I had completely forgotten about it! Since I feel like I haven't posted in a while, I suppose I'll post it now and give a quick update.
I've been so busy with volleyball lately that it's insane. This week, I have had volleyball every single day of the week (well, excluding the weekend). It went like:
Monday: practice
Tuesday: game
Wednesday: practice
Thursday: game
Friday: tournament
So hectic and did I mention I had tests and quizzes and presentations this week too?! But unlike last year, I actually enjoy volleyball now. Like, I don't know if it was my team last year, or the coach, or both, but this year I find myself actually looking forward to practices and games now! Last year, I think I was intimidated by the grade 12s (because the senior team is comprised of grade 11s and 12s) and the coach seemed to favour the better players. I mean, I don't blame my coach for favouring the better players because, well, they're better and she should focus more on them since she puts them in the game more, but me being, well, not as strong in volleyball (since I don't play club), my coach basically ignored me and it seemed like she didn't want to waste her energy on me. Like, seriously? I mean, I get that I'm not as good, but the least she could have done was help me to succeed and do better. But nope, she basically pushed me and my friend (who also wasn't as skilled as the other players) aside and didn't even bother with us. However this year, I'm actually on the starting lineup, and I actually like my team because I don't feel looked down upon by other players, AND I DON'T GET LOOKED DOWN UPON BY MY COACH. That is a huge thing that differs between last year and this year in my opinion. This year, I feel like my coach actually tries to help each and every one of us with our own struggles (for me, my serving) and he is actually funny and makes practices and games enjoyable. Plus he calls us stupid kids ahaha.
Anyway, enough with this huge sprouting of volleyball-related things.
So, in English class, we're currently reading 'Of Mice and Men' by John Steinbeck. Well, I kind of read ahead and finished the book, while the rest of the class is still on, like, page 30-something. To be honest though, the book was already spoiled for me when I was googling some things about Lennie and first, (I'm trying to word it so that I don't spoil it for others haha) what Lennie did got spoiled, and then I said to my friend "Oh my god, the book was spoiled for me." And little did I know, there was still another huge event in the book, and my friend spoiled it for me by saying "Oh, me too! The part where George ___, right?!" And I'm like "WHAT?!?!?!?!?!? GEORGE ___?!?!?!?!?!" So yeah, it sucks when that happens, but I was going to read it anyway, I suppose. But anyway, I actually enjoyed the book. Like, the beginning was a bit slow in my opinion, but as the book progressed, I was really enjoying it.
And speaking of enjoying things (okay that sounded weird), my math tutor explained some calculus to me about limits and I kind of get it now and I was actually enjoying the homework on limits (well, the introduction to it, BUT REGARDLESS)!!! Haha hopefully I will do better on the limits test, considering I got 55% on my functions test. Oh gosh. I really need to catch up on my limits homework though, I'm really falling behind in calculus. But I will use this long weekend (since it's Thanksgiving) to catch up. Hopefully.
Okay well, I'm gonna end this here.
