I've had a great season this year. Its actually been my most successful season in my basketball career. If you didn't know, I haven't been able to score a point in a basketball game the past two years of basketball. Sure, I was able to make them during practices, which would usually make me stand out. But, once in game mode, I can't shoot for shit. Maybe I just get really nervous, even though no one really watches. Anyways, I thought this season was going to follow the same pattern as the previous years. To my surprise, I actually improved. I've score about 2-4 points per game, which doesn't sound like much, BUT is a huge improvement. I've also learned how to use my strength and aggression more. I'd like to thank my coach for this. Though I underestimated him, because he was a 57 year old man, I didn't think he could improve me anymore than my other two coaches. He did something my other coaches failed at. He gave me confidence and he believed in me. Before games, he'd always tell me that he's expecting me to make 20 points each game, I'd always laugh and say I wish. He's always replied, "Why not? You're capable of it, you're a really good player"
Despite my great season, there was the 'drama' that came with a team full of girls. I'm sure you all know I'm notorious for falling. And when I say falling, its not one of those, Oh no, I tripped, kind of falls. My falls are the epic ones where I slid, collapse, and cause enormous sounds. I only fall when I'm trying to get the ball unlike my other teammates. So, SOMEONE...who will not be named, kept telling me that I fell for no reason. That I waste game time when I take too long to get up. That it isn't funny. Yeah, I know that, but it isn't like I just throw myself on the floor, like you make it seem like I'm doing. I do it because of the lack of effort on your part as well. BUT hey, at least I can make layups and pull in fouls like I'm supposed too, UNLIKE you. And guess what, even though you think you're a great player, I'm sorry but you're not. I'm a more versatile player compared to you. So shut it.
So, with the end of basketball, I decided to do a spring sport. I tried for softball, since Lally kept on pestering me to do so. After wasting a week of my time trying out, I got cut. I seriously wished they just cut me with first cuts instead of keeping me all the way through and cutting me because, "my sprint time, pacer, and lack of experience" hurt me. I haven't heard bullshit like that in a while. Really, it annoys me since, she told me specifically Freshman year, "Softball isn't all about running, if you can hit, throw, and catch, you can play just as good as anyone who can run" . OBVIOUSLY, that doesn't apply to me. In fact, they didn't have the decency to tell me that I hadn't made the team. They let me infer and followed up with "We haven't asked anyone who's been cut this, but would you be interested in being manager? Ysewyn and I would really appreciate it and we really want you to do it". OH, you mean like how you wanted me to do softball? I don't know if I want to fall into this bullshit, but I'm doing just to put on my college applications. That, and so that I can do something other than sleeping all day.
Oh, I'm also participating in Spring basketball sometime soon. I just love the sport so much.
My birthday is coming up in a month and 10 days, what to do...any suggestions?
