never thought i'd hear it from hopfe

but it's true! he actually said "take it easy, dont' get carried away"... to me!
so i took saturday off completely. which was really hard. i hate blank pages on the calendar. OCD summers, what can I do? 45 miles really isn't that much for a week, even the first one. it's not nearly what was on the schedule (which i don't really know what he was thinking, scheduling the first long run for 90 minutes.. silly coach, tricks are for kids). so i'm not really sure what he was all worked up about... it's mr. tumbleweed who really needs a talking-to lol... 120 miles is sick. oh! while i'm remembering: lori, alex and whoever else was planning on it, don't forget to get hopfe a father's day card!

in other news, i got complimented on noelle's old skirt which i wore to church today :)

and apparently my job is all set for hawaii and my aunt has tons of miles so i'll fly for free, which is even better. now i'm just waiting to hear it from the horse's mouth and i'll start packing! I emailed the coach of a university out there to see if he has any athletes in town, but he hasn't gotten back to me, so that's a bummer. lol you know, it's funny... for being the source of some really fast marathon-type runners, cross country on the island is practically non-existant. if that coach did get back to me, i'd be training with the men's team becuase they're closer to my level. which is rediculous.

the good news is that my aunt drives a manual, so i can practice! (if she'll get the car out of the parking garage for me... it's the craziest/tightest one i've ever seen)

haha supposedly i'm giving luis piano lessons until i leave. we're so bored. oh man! that means i have clean my room though. bummer. i didn't think that far ahead lol
oh! i learned how to play love song by sara bareilles today, and it's fun!

finally, i'm very excited becuase i'm starting to make friends with the singles/collge group at church... it's sad though beucase i'll be leaving just as i was getting to know everyone's names! but i'm super excited for this season because the group is switching to the 11:00 service instead of the early one, which is great becuase us xc kids can actually go!! (long runs kept us from getting involved the paste few years) i'm soooo excited to finally get involved with this wonderful group of people! yay!
