Hey everyone! Well as you probably have heard we did not make it into the tournament. Our RPI was higher this year and our record was better this year but our losses that we had were not good losses. It was hard, even though I didn't compete this season. I hate when season is over. I feel like I have so much free time that I don't know what to do with myself. It's also so sad that I will not be able to play with Myanna and Noel again. They are two of the most fun people I have ever played with and they always pushed me to compete as hard as I could. I'm going to miss them so much next year!
Well now all we have to focus on for this week is finals. I don't have any until Wednesday and it is so weird waking up and knowing the only thing I have to do all day is go to rehab for a couple of hours. It felt really good to get to sleep in today; I haven't done that in a while. I am so excited to go home for Christmas break! I haven't seen my older sister since I left for school in August and I have only gotten to see my little sister and brother once! I am also so exited to get to see my puppies! I haven't seen them in so long! I am going home on Sunday after I baby-sit for the Sunahara's all weekend.
Alright well it's time to go meet the other girls on the team for lunch. I will talk to you all soon! Have a great week!
