oi

so lots of things going on lately. first off, greg is going to be SO confused when he comes home tonight/this morning. he might just think he's in the wrong place...but everything in the house was re-arranged this weekend and i am so tired. we lifted and dragged and arranged and cleaned and dusted and dropped dead.
work is fine but there's not enough of it, i'm going to try and get a couple more private lessons to teach and hopefully that will make me the money i need to get by. bay skates is coming up also and i hapo i can earn some extra money that way. i really enjoy bay skates and this year i think we're doing peter pan. i am going to coreograph ryan's short program sometime soon. i wish he could afford to pay me but if he could afford anyone, it would not be me....and besides he does enough for me anyways. it's going to be hard to coreograph for a guy...it'll be my first time trying it...it may take me a while but i'll figure it out. i at least know how i want him to start.
i skated in my new boots for the first time today. it was actually really relieving to find out that they don't hurt too bad and i could do all my double jumps and some spins and footwork. it feels like the rocker is friggin huge on my new blades but new blades always feel like that at first i guess. the boots are really nice, i wore them for 40 min yesterday and they didn't hurt at all. today, after about 45 min, my left foot started to cramp up. both feet cramped a couple more times, but it wasn't too bad and every time i put my skates back on, the boots felt more comfortable. so i'm excited about what i'll be able to do tomorrow, hopefully triples and program run throughs.
money is so tight right now...it's stressful, but i have this feeling that it's not going to be all that bad. maybe i'm just used to dealing with it, not that it happens all the time, but we know what it's like definitely. sacrifices will have to be made, but that's nothing new.
school was going fine, until this week. i was behind in english. there has been a lot of work to do to keep up in points, but i never took the time (as if i had time in the first place) to do it all. i barely got done what i had turned in. i was always rushing in the last min to get things done. i had always waited because i had other priorities, that to me were more important. i know that's sounds irresponsible, and it certainly would be if school was my number 1 priority right now. i know my dad hates this, but school is just not what i'm focused on right now. i'm going to get this skating thing accomplished and it is for my future, it really is...i don't want to skate forever but i want to coach and as a coach i have very lofty goals. if i don't finish my tests and complete my goals in skating, i put my future as a coach in danger....i'll be in danger of becoming the coach that no one takes seriously...mind you, jaykay didn't get a chance to finish her tests and reach her goals and still became a great and respected(amongst those who matter) coach, but it is her who first told me that i must at least pass my gold tests (one down jaykay!) i know not everyone understands all this but just know that i wouldn't even bother with school unless i really wanted to. i'm reaching for that degree in sports psychology and i will get there, maybe later than other people my age, but that doesn't matter to me. all my friends are graduating college this year...and yeah, that makes me feel a little like a loser, but they all wish they could do what i do. i very much digress from the point i was trying to make. so yeah, i dropped english. i wasn't prepared to take on a class that reqired as much dedication and time as this...and as my professor said to me "take it as a lesson learned." i will take this class again and i will take it when i am ready to take it on the way i need to. it was hard, i really hated giving up in this class, but i take full responsibility for the fact that i just didn't get it done for this course. as you can tell from how much time i have spent talking about this, it was a hard decision to make and it really bothered me. i'm keeping psychology, it's a really simple class...show up, study, take tests. i'm getting A's in it, so i'm fine. i enjoy it. at this rate it feels like i'll be at solano forever, but you know what...i may very well be there forever. oi!
there isn't much more to say for now. although grandpa thinks i don't ever have much to say...and he's right...i feel, if you have nothing interesting or important to talk about (which i rarely do) then don't bother. so i don't. i guess this makes me the qiet one :) i'm good with that. silence is golden. so yeah, until the next few months pass by and i finally have something else to add...bye.
