Day 96-102 - Basketball and Breaking

Monday morning we had the last running lesson/class for sport! FINALLY! We had this test where we ran, in 45 seconds, to a cone 100m away, walked, in 15 secs, to a cone 5 meters away, ran back to the starting line, waited 15 secs and ran to the third cone, another 5 meters away. This is a test to see how fit you are or something. I made it to the eighth cone. I was second to stop. Almost all the other girls stopped at the ninth cone, but the guys continued for another ten or so cones! It's insane the amount the guys can run. Tomorrow we have long jump.. Not looking forward to it, but it is better than running! :D

That evening Émilie and I had muscle training and stretching. I wasn't too tired, luckily, as it wasn't the easiest session we've had! I loved it, though. I was knackered afterwards and pretty much went straight to bed.

Tuesday morning was hell getting up. I was sore all over, but I managed to make it to school and survive just fine. I'd soon forgot about the muscle pain when I got to chatting with friends and during classes when I had to listen. Unless I had to walk up/down stairs.

When I got home I found Danièle's sister, Nichole, was visiting. She's very kind and fun to be around. They don't look too much alike, but there is a certain resemblance. 

The same evening Émilie called to day she was too tired to come to sports with me, so I went alone. There was practically no one there! Only a few others, say 10, the teacher and I. I was surprised as usually the room is packed with people.

This week it was muscle training. I found it not as tiring as I would have before. It was hard, but I could manage to do all the exercises, with the exception of two, the side plank and something that resembled it, that I don't recall the name of. Next time I will do all of them, and even better. You also have to note that my muscles were still sore form the previous night, so I thought I did really well, even without considering. I slept well that night.

On Wednesday, after school we had a basketball match and oh, my God was it tiring! We played for about 30-40 mins each, so that was tiring. Plus I haven't played a real game in God knows how long! I loved it though, and I'm going to start going to the practices on Wednesdays.

After the match I walked home. It took less than 20 mins from the place to my house. But it started raining, and I got wet. Not that it mattered anyway, I hit the shower as soon as I walked in the door. After the shower it was a drag trying to stay awake. I was so tired. It was only 4 p.m.! Imagine. I still had 3-4 hours until dinner!

I literally hit the sack right after dinner, a bit after eight! First time since I was say 8/9.I slept a good 9 hours that night. I was tired on Thursday morning, though, waking up. I could so easily have stayed in bed.

On Thursday we had basketball for sport! I was still aching from Monday and Tuesday, plus add the match the day before I was ready to die! But I held on and I managed to make a few shots during the games.

I've realised, with the help of Marion L., that I'm not very good at shooting hoops during practice, but I can take a shot during a game. I really suck during practices half the time! It's so annoying and frustrating. I hate it and I'm determined to get better! I wish we had a hoop and a ball in our backyard. I mean a swimming pool is pretty useless during the winter! In the summer/spring/autumn even it's heaven and everything, but I still wish we had a hoop..

Friday went by. We watched a video in Agronomy, which was cool. We were supposed to take notes during it, but I gave up after the first two minutes. It's still not easy, French!

On Saturday I found out that Camille had come over for a visit. We went shopping with her and Émilie. I got a few presents (for myself and two others). I still have no idea about a present for Danièle or Marie. I have an idea for Émilie and Boris (they both like chocolate and Nutella..) along with Camille (who also loves chocolate!). I have some gift ideas for friends, but I have no idea how many to get! I'm thinking I'm only getting for the closest people I know, so that makes it three I believe. I also need presents for my parents, a sister and five friends.. Oh my god this is HARD! I hate Christmas! Noël, c'est de la merde! But before Christmas there is Danièle's birthday! Plus after Christmas there is the birthday of Marie. Oh my God, I may as well curl up under a rock and die!

Yesterday there was a concert I really wanted to go to, but Danièle wouldn't let me as it wasn't in the best part of town. I'd had it all planned out (as she'd told me the day before that I could go) that I was going to hang out with Antoine V. and his friends, as Pauline was too sick to come with me. :( Next time!

Today, Sunday, I've been trying to do some freezes, but not exactly succeeding. I've killed my wrists and feet though, trying to do them, so all's good! I will keep practising and I will succeed in doing the baby freeze today! For real.
