Rant

So this is a page to just rant about whatever bads happened to you today. Nobody needs to read it, but letting it all out always makes you feel better, right? I'll start.

It is so fricking unfair! I've worked the hardest I've ever worked at anything in track and cross country this year. My mile time has improved by a minute (from 6:40 to 5:40) and my 400 m time by 4 seconds (68-64 sec), not to mention I've been running 2:30-2:40 in the 800. I do all these extra excercises so I can get better, and I give 110% in practice, AND I've missed 2 soccer games already to go to track meets (and I'm the only goalkeeper on my soccer team, AND I'm planning on quitting once I've trained the new keeper). But then this weekend, I've been sick for the past couple of weeks (didnt tell my coach though, b/c he would have gotten mad) so I've just started running at my normal pace again. I did well in my 400 (in 80 degree heat might I add) but then our 800 was running 2 hours late and we warmed up to early. Then I got tripped in the first 100 and they didnt restart the race, and I got boxed in by a bunch of slower people. When I finally got out it was too late and my time was about 2:42, which isn't bad, considering the circumstances.

But then, THEN, my coach comes back form Arcadia where a few of our runners hadnt done as well as planned. But he doesn't yell at them, no. Instead he targets me and my friend. He tells the others that it wasnt their fault they had a bad race, that it happens. He tells me that I am 'not my sister' and that I need to stretch more (ok true, but i DO stretch). Then he tells me that my 400 was ok but my 800 was the sh*tiest race he's ever heard of (he wouldn't let me defend myself either). He then told me that I didn't care about track and was too focused on soccer to be any good, and that I wasn't going to be 'his running elite' if I kept up what I was doing. He said I would be better off just quitting. Guys, I'm faster than half the juniors and seniors on the team and I'm a sophomore!!!!!!!!!!! I was bawling when I got home (I didn't cry in front of him, I wouldn't give him that honor), and then my mom told me to suck it up.

Anyway, yeah, rant away!

I have to add this sorry. I was talking with this guy I like about it (hes on the track team too), and he was reallly sweet, telling me I was one of the most dedicated runners and should be proud of myself. That just made my day a little better.

Ohh I hate it when people tell you to suck it up, esp. when parents do it. I'm like "no I want to vent!" Oh well. Pleased that guy cheered you up though.

My rant is really stupid: my boyfriend pulls weird faces. All the time. And its so irritating but I don't really want to complain about it 'cos it sounds pathetic. But OMG none the less. If he contributes in class he'll pull of face that says "well obviously" and it looks so weird! (Esp. when it's quantium behavior and clearly not obvious, damn physics).

Also when he is talking about something that happened to him that was vaguely irritaing or upsetting, he screws up it face like it's the worst thing in the world and he needs sympathy imediatly. And again, it looks really weird.

Actually the way he eats is irritating too. And the way he sighs. Maybe I shouldn't be with him anymore.

/Rant. Wow this is a good tread. I like it.
