Wow, I can't believe that it's March already. It feels like time is absolutely flying by while I do nothing. Or practically nothing. I know that I'm doing things, and I know that a good portion of them are worthwhile, but at the same time I feel like life is passing me by. As Anna would say, oh life.
This week has been really busy, but pretty fun all at the same time. Buena had their first two track meets of the year, and as far as I can tell they've gone pretty well. There were a couple things at the first meet but I hope that the team can work through those, they may be already. As for me I'm still getting a feel for such a large team again. It's been so long since I was with a team that was so large. I'm not such a fan of such large groups. I've been spending a fair amount of time thinking about it, and I know that I do really well in one-on-one, and small group situations. However, when it comes to large groups it takes me a long time to get my footing. It will undoubtedly happen that I will finally be comfortable with the entire team as a whole about the time that the season ends. Take today for example. We had a meet at Moorpark High, and for the first time i rode with the team. On the way there it was no big deal because I sat with coaches and we talked and it was good. On the way home I rode on the other bus, and the other coach on that bus went back and sat with the athletes. I thought that it was awesome of him doing that, and I wondered if I'm coming off as an uptight coach because I don't do that with people outside of my event group. I'm really pretty comfortable with everyone that I actually coach along with a few others that I already knew and others I have met one-on-one, but I really can't do the whole unknown thing yet. I wish it didn't freak me out so much, but it does. I'm not even sure that what I wrote makes sense. Anyway, I hope you get the idea. What I ended up doing was reading a book at the front of the bus and probably coming off... actually I don't know how I came off. Maybe if I ever get comfortable with the other athletes I'll ask them what they thought. Oh life.
So yesterday I did something really lame. I accidentally gave myself a paper cut. On my lower lip. Yep. I have a paper cut on my lower lip. How you ask? Oh well, it's simple really. I was at the bank depositing a check and when I went to lick the envelope the inside edge (if that makes sense) cut my lip. As soon as it happened I was like "are you kidding me?" It wasn't a joke. Over the last 24 hours it has also become more visible. Tonight when I looked in the mirror you could actually see the little cut, unlike last night. Lame. But I suppose it could happen to anyone. Right?
(Note: This was not at all what I had been planning on writing, but that's okay.)
