Yesterday, we had yet another track meet, and like usual, the van was chaotic.
The sights:
- a van full of eighth graders swerving wildly on the road
- backpacks everywhere
- a weird phone holder thing that did not work properly
- Luke’s shoe-less feet
- Coach Chase’s blingy gold watch
The sounds:
- Luca munching on chicken
- Gunnar singing for some reason
- Emily asking, “who’s most likely to be homeless?”
- Mikka arguing with the coach about the definition of teasing
- the back row. completely. silent.
- country music
The smells:
- feet
- chicken
- Jolly Ranchers
- PB & J
- cologne
- bananas
- old van smell
Today is going to be crazy. We don’t have real school, but we basically have a homework marathon, all due before 3 PM. Yes, it’s distance learning day. Last time we did this, it was at Kinley’s house. This time, I’m hosting.
We have track at three, and then right after that, I have a choir showcase. It’s pretty short, only two songs, and then I have a three-hour devised theater class.
It’s a pretty chill day.
Thank you so much, Mrs. Johnson for assigning a time with God. I love to just sit and journal and pray without feeling too overwhelmed by the rest of the world and all of the crazy things I have to do. I’m so grateful to have just a moment of quiet.
In the comments: If you were on the van, share what happened, because honestly, I barely remember. If not, what is your most crazy story ever?
Thank you for reading, and remember to take a break sometimes. You deserve it.
The whole van ride I think I was arguing with coach the whoooole time. Luke and I also exchanged stories. 😁 also it was Luca’s shoes.
Luke was showing us all of the holes in his socks. It was so gross! All of the pictures of Clive were so funny!
Didn’t Mikka point at something off the side of the road and it scared Chase so much?
YES. That was terrifying! We were swerving the whole time, and I actually thought we would crash.
