Sectionals today. I got third. I was so exhausted even before I performed, for no good reason. I made sure I got 12 hours of sleep, not counting the drive yesterday. Driving tires me out, basically because I sleep the whole time, but I did it yesterday plus slept at night, so I should’ve been okay, right? I guess that came off in my routine. I didn’t tell my mom that I was feeling so tired because I think she would’ve flipped. Coach OH! noticed and said maybe she was overworking me at practice. She made a good point. I’m keeping the same schedule I did before I went Venturing, but I also haven’t been skating for a good 6 months so I should be sore and exhausted. The best thing really is to stick with it, though. At least I still qualified, so I’m not totally out of it, but seriously, after sweeping Skate America, I thought for sure I’d take sectionals as well. Maybe I was too overconfident. Maybe I won’t die alone…
I’m just a stranger, even to myself.
