my weekend, or why I go almost no work done.

So up until now, senior year wasn't exactly all that it's cracked up to be. Everyone who said it's the easiest year and that it's so much fun are big fat liars. Or so I thought.

Friday night, I had a basketball game. I didn't play a single minute. The highlight of the game for me was making a 3 during warm-ups. But it was still pretty cool. A bunch of my friends were back from college and came, and we won. They were the team that beat us in the championship game last year, so it was pretty cool. I headed to the locker room and celebrated with my team. Then I checked my phone. I had a text from my friend that said "Michigan?"

I didn't expect my decision until later so I freaked out. I ran to Ms. P and begged her to let me use her computer to check. I log onto my email and there it is. "YOUR UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN ADMISSIONS DECISION." I was freaking out. Alone in the training room, I clicked the email. "Congrats!" the email said, "Welcome to the College of Literature, Science, and Arts and the University of Michigan family."

I knocked over the trashcan next to Ms. P's desk with my spastic flailing. It was so exciting. Michigan is an incredible school, and the fact that I'm lucky enough to get accepted there is just absolutely mind-boggling. I called my mom and dad and told them. As I was getting ready to leave, I got asked to go to downtown Annapolis with some friends. I was so down.

I promptly got lost on the way there, which was good. Eventually I found my way there, and tried to park. This dude pulled out right in front of me and I parked pretty much instantly. Then I made an idiot of myself in some little nicknack store, playing around with the toy guns and stuff with my friend. We eventually just sat down and talked.

When I got home, I talked to my parents. We talked about college, and the future. It was honestly great to see them so proud. That was probably the best part about getting in. They talked about the future and how much potential I had. It was so exciting.

Then on saturday I went to go hang out with my best friend who I hadn't seen in about 2 months. He used to live down the street before he moved, and now it's hard to get out and see him, so I'm glad I could. We just chilled, watched football, goofed off, ordered pizza, and played video games. It was so much fun.

Sunday I headed home, and then went right to basketball practice. It was a good 2 hours of exercise, and it felt great, in the way a good gym workout does. Then I found out the Redskins won and are headed to the playoffs. After that, I had my soccer dinner.

I changed into khakis and a shirt really quickly and headed there. It made me a little sad and I really missed soccer season, but it was also a ton of fun. I won the team leadership award and a team MVP award.

I lost a lot of steam in this post, but I won't hit backspace. But basically it was pretty much the perfect weekend. Expect some sort of unnecessarily deep analysis in the coming days.
