Ok, so I didn't write a post the next day lol.
But that's great because now I have more to write about in this post.
I just read Hannah's post today and this doesn't really compare, but it's something.
So I am a full fledged crew coach. I coach the Varsity men, specifically the lightweight men (or 2nd eight, whichever it is). I'm lovin' it. Motivating these kids is definitely more interesting and more rewarding than folding clothes all day.
I don't spend as much on gas in the commute either.
Today was my 6th day coaching and already! I am having breakthroughs. First of all, the team is very respectful and they take what I have to say to them seriously. Secondly, today I coached Michael through his 6K. He not only got a personal record, but I think he proved something to himself. This is the quiet/sometimes unhappy kid who was smiling the whole time after the workout. He also has the 7th best time out of the 6K's. He could be a serious rower if he tried this hard everyday.
I have a lot of kids who need to bulk up, but I was in the same position in hs.
Paperwork is still lame-o though. Boo paperwork.
Kyle just got back to our good ole country and he called me yesterday. He'll be down next week and we'll hang out then. Funny hearing his voice after so long (not counting him calling me on my birthday).
It's December! Holy crap! I've been out of school since May, and I've had 3 different jobs...I've paid off one loan (Thank God!), and been doing a lot of introspection (since everyone is all over the place).
I think it's also important to note that I have been in a wonderful relationship with my gf, Adrian, for 8 months as of the 7th. It doesn't seem like it's been that long, but it's really cool to think about. Kyle AND Adrian both poked fun at me for making it this long. I laughed too, lol.
I've been consistent then inconsistent about keeping up with friends. Depends on who and depends on the week. I'm working on it guys! No more crazy retail schedule!
Til next time, Happy Advent!
