So much going on!

I have to try out again on the 18th. Ugh. I don't know why this seems like such a big deal. We all do, everyone on the training team. It shouldn't be as big a deal, I'm so much stronger, and so much more sure on my skates. I'm not afraid of not making it back on the team, because I know my coaches are really happy with my progress. I just don't wanna! Oh well. At least it's going to be interesting to see all the new people try out.

One aspect of this that I'm not looking forward to is our physical trainer coming back to every practice to torture us for half an hour. Though that, too, should be WAY easier than it was when I was a noob. I know what to expect, and how long to expect it for. This time, I KNOW I can endure!

We've been told that after tryouts there will be a draft. Of course, this has caused quite the stir. Everyone is thinking about which of the 4 home teams they'd like to be on, wondering if they'll get drafted at all, and how they'll take it if they don't. One thing that has been emphasized to us is that we may not understand the draft picks. Of course, every team has a different personality, and different things they're looking for in a skater. I know I'm in the minority when I say I don't think I am ready to be drafted yet! Of course, I'd be honored to be picked, but really, I think I need more time to improve my skills before I'm ready for the "big girl" team practices. I've had a harder time with derby than a lot of my teammates, and I will need more time to be ready to move on than most of them. I am completely ok with this. I am proud of my progress, and excited about the progress I'll make as I go forward. That's enough for right now!

The other major thing happening right now is Uproar on the Lakeshore, the championships. As the marketing secretary for my league, we're ridiculously busy with this. We've got ads, postcards, fliers, and website stuff to work on, coordinating to be done with our subcommittees, and meetings to attend. Yikes!

And, just because I'm not busy enough, I think I'll take a class at my work's gym. I'm gonna be buff!
