Don't Stop Believin'

It feels like you’re right here next to me. :)

T-CAL meet is tomorrow and I’m trying to make top 4. I feel like I know I can make it, but I have my doubts. :/ And lately, I’ve been thinking about the worst case scenarios. I’ve never done this with track before. I don’t know what’s going to happen. All I know is that I’m going to give it my all. I’m putting every effort into my two races tomorrow.

I want to win.. I’m going to win.. I got this.

Boohoo. I don’t want to call you, because it’s almost midnight and you’re already asleep. Even though on the phone I sound worse than in person, and I bet I’m breathing really loud as I sleep, I still don’t like going to bed without hearing you. It throws my night off. And I’m so tempted to call you, even if you groggily say, “…hey babe.”, but I really hate when you’re tired and stay awake. Like seriously, you’re so dumb! It’s like I have to stop talking for two minutes and lay in my bed in silence before you’ll start to fall asleep, and I hate keeping you up when you’re tired. I love our late night conversations, though. Whether we’re talking for hours, or just a few minutes… falling asleep to your voice makes me feel like we’re sleeping right next to each other, and it’s so comforting (even though you do snore, breathe loudly, and I bet in person you’re twitching or moving around). Well, I’m tired now. Goodnight/morning, Kevin. :)

but my dad is coming home and he is really hungry. He wants some fried rice, and I asked if I could get some pho. So now I’m getting some pho. :]

WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DON’T MEAN TO BRAG?! YOU DELIBERATELY POSTED THIS TO MAKE ME CHEALLLLOUS. )))):

Why would you say that? I’m just letting the world know that I’m not going to die of hunger tonight. >:]

And during fourth everyone asked where she went. Then everyone started asking where we are going to college and if we are going to the same school. I told everyone we will be separated in the fall. Following that were questions about us staying together or not. I was happy to say that we will still be together and we will make it work. It’s just hard thinking about how we are going to be so far apart. I never had to be separated from her before. I’m glad I never had to, but it just makes it harder to be miles and miles away from my other half.

And to add to all the the endless thoughts, today in second period we had a talk with Ms. L and Mrs. C. A discussion about “what really happens in college.” One topic was about relationships. A lot was said on this subject. Being with them in school, being separated, things that may or may not happen, and others. But one that got me thinking was the probability of staying with your significant other out of high school. Especially since Elisha and I will soon be in this situation. We both made a promise to make things work and I really believe we can do it. It’s just the thought of it that bothers me.

Even with all of these obstacles we will soon face, I truly believe we can make it and I have full faith in us. Real talk.

is a crazy month for me this year. There are tons of things for seniors to do this month, but I have just a bit more going on. We have the AVID Awards Night, Senior Awards Night, and graduation. I have these things plus my track meets and other award ceremonies. And it came to my attention that some of these events won’t be as great as I would like them to be. Much like tonight.

The best thing about having these accomplishing events is having the people I care about the most there supporting me. It doesn’t matter how well I did or how I got there, as long as they were there.

My night was almost fantastic. The only thing that brought me down was the fact that two people I love and care for so much weren’t there. To be honest, it hurts that they weren’t there. It’s a big deal to me. I did have support from part of my family, but it isn’t the same as having them all there. It really sucks because those two people aren’t going to be able support me at some of the most important events of high school.

Whenever I accomplish something, do something well, or do something great, you motivate me the most. I get the best feeling when you say “Congratulations!” or “Good job.” 

“I’m proud of you.” When you told me that over the phone, I couldn’t help but smile. Even though you’re over a thousand miles away, you motivate me to keep on going. It’s times like these that remind me why I do what I do.

I love you, dad.

It really is a great privilege to get this award. I know other students from different schools got it, but it is an amazing award. My 15 seconds of fame was great and I loved hearing my family and others oh so dear to my heart cheer for me. 

I love this award a whole lot because AVID has been a HUGE part of my life in high school. I live for AVID! I love this program so much and it feels great to be recognized as someone who represents AVID.

It was also a great pleasure to meet all the chairmen and leaders who take part in AVID. They’re fun to talk to, too. :D

And lastly, the dessert buffet was awesome! ;D

Okay, that’s it. Thank you to every single person that helped me get to where I am now. Whether it was pushing me down or pushing me to strive. I am truly grateful for those who have contributed to who I am today.

I love how we talk on the phone every night. It’s funny cause when we are actually going to sleep, we say goodnight, but we don’t hang up. We just stay on the phone. Sometimes I’ll fall asleep to her sweet sounding voice. Other nights we’ll be completely quiet until we fall asleep. It’s the feeling of her being there that gives me a good night’s sleep and a good feeling about the next day(And I literally have bad days after the nights we don’t talk on the phone lol). To be honest, it’s one of the best ways to fall asleep. :)

P.S. She just told me how happy she is because she just found out where her keys were. Thanks for letting me know that the feelings are mutual. Haha.

Coach: You’re improving at every meet. You could be in the top 4 in the league.
Me: Ehh, I don’t know.
Coach: No, seriously.

I really didn’t believe him when he said it to me on Friday after school. I thought about it as he drove off. I really do improve every meet. I really do get better and better everyday. And maybe I really do have a shot at being in the top 4. How much would it take to get there? 110% isn’t going to be good enough. I don’t have much time prepare. I need to work extra hard to make up for all the lost time I could have been in track. For the next week and a half, I’m going to be bustin’ my butt. I need to win this.
