Icepacks

I wanted this blog to help me write better and get all my thoughts out to people.
So far it's not working.
I just can't seem to get my thoughts comfortable for people to hear. But one day, it will come.

Recently, weekends are my only free time. During the week I go to school, have cross country practice after school, come home to shower, do homework and eat and my day is basically over. Three days a week I even get up at 5am to go run with the team.
I love it!
Things are going really well.
Strange, though. It's a very peculiar feeling. Things just feel... weird. Adjusting to new friends (when it feels like I've know them for a really long time, when really I hardly know them at all), socializing with people, getting used to my surroundings, going to a new school and trying to get to know people and let them know me. Yeah...It's somewhat overwhelming on my brain. I don't know any other way to describe it.
Not that this is important but the climate is so different. I am always sweaty, hot and never feel clean. It's a new concept to me.
Oh and irrigation: flooding the grass with water. It doesn't make sense.
Anyways...
Today, we had our first Cross Country "invitational", which was a team fundraiser. We were given 30 minutes to run around the track and put in as many laps as we could. We had people who pledged a certain amount of money per lap. Since my hamstrings and IT bands have not been happy with running, I couldn't go as far as other kids. But I managed to push out seven somewhat easily painful laps! By the time our first meet comes around, I think I shall be somewhat wonderful.
