Day 109: Disappointment

     Green shirt, white beandeau, floral skirt, sandals.
     Well, I worked my butt of for three weeks inside and outside of the pool. I got up at 4:45am to do morning practices and stayed up until 3:00am after my post-school practices to keep up with my grades. It was three weeks of me trying my hardest, losing 8 pounds, and getting as fast as I could be.
     In the end, my best wasnt good enough.
     I didnt make varsity swimming. Im a junior in high school that cant make varsity at a sport that Ive been swimming for a decade.
     The thing that stings is that I was so close. Coach picked the top 4 swimmers from each event and I was number 5. Of course.
     And its not like I have a whole lot going for me. I mean, I have this blog. Its not like I have a boyfriend to fall back on though. I mean with my stellar qualities you would think I have 6 of them right? Wrong. I dont. I have a dog that I cuddle with occasionally, depending on his mood. I have food to confide in. That always manages to make me feel better.
     Basically, Im heartbroken. Im the joke of the aquatics team. This should be an interesting season. Stay tuned.
