Bekah the Snowgirl

Today, I had a soccer game, and it was freezing. And wait. It gets better. It started pouring cats and dogs about halfway through the first team's game. (My town has two teams, and I'm on the second). The first half of our game was amazing (I love playing soccer in the rain) but the second half, I couldn't even re-tie my cleat when the laces unknotted (I clumsily tucked it into my shoe), my fingers were so frozen.
It was fun, though; we won 1-0.
Off to my online writing class,

Busy...so very busy...

Today, I woke up, threw my clothes on (and I mean that almost literally), rushed downstairs, jumped into a chair, yanked out my Bible, and took a deep breath. And spent a short time with God with the rest of my family (excluding my Dad, he's at work), as is the ritual of every school morning. After that, I gulped down my breakfast, washed the dishes, and thundered downstairs, thinking of all the school I had to finish.

I am exhausted! I just returned from my vigorous soccer game (we lost, but it was fun. Two war wounds: a bruise above my eye from a soccer ball in the face, and an aching ankle from a misplaced kick), then swallowed my baked potato in seemingly one bite, and hurried back downstairs, jumped on my computer, and attended my online writing class, with one minute to spare. Now it's over, I can finally just sit and rest. It feels so nice! :]

Off to write in diary and elaborate on plots (I'm feeling doubtful right now that my creative cells will be able to rouse themselves out of their stupor to hatch something other then gibberish),

Contacts!

I got contacts yesterday for soccer this fall, and I have to say they are weird! Like I'm so used to seeing everything not within ten feet of me blurry and indistinct (unless I'm wearing my glasses which isn't very often...yeah I have incredibly bad eyes), and now, to be not wearing glasses, but to have everything be crystal clear... *shakes head* CRAZY! *laughs*

It's also so weird to put them in and take them out...sticking stuff into my eyes and then pinching it back out! It's weird, all right. I'm definitely going to be wearing them most every day...they're awesome, if you get past the itchiness the first half-hour. So who else has contacts?
