En Route

Good morning! Although I may seem like I'm in a cheery and happy mood, I'm actually really exhausted. As you may or may not know, I play varsity volleyball for my school, which is a huge time commitment. From August 8-30, our whole team does two-a-days or as I would like to call it, hell. Basically we have conditioning in the morning for 2 hours of just exercising and then for 3 hours in the evening, practice. Any time in between these hours are either spent resting, relaxing, or reading (we can't forget about our summer assignments!). So, as I am on my way down to Richmond for a volleyball tournament, I am quenched of thirst and a little grumpy. Wish me luck at showcase though and my next post will probably be about the first day of school.

XO.

     Isn't it amazing how time flies? I can't believe the last post I had on here was about 2 years ago. Just reading over my last posts just made me realize how much I have changed over the past two years; I guess you could say it's both insightful and interesting and a few times almost brought me to tears. Well, to "reintroduce" myself, it's still me Haley, still pale, and have mostly the same interests I did back then. Changes do come and go though and with this it means I am now 17 and about to start my senior year of high school. I can't believe it either. I'm still working on getting to New York, making it my priority through my college choices (and hopefully achieving that). If you haven't guessed it already, yes, New York University. I'm done with this "suburban-stereotypical" life. I'm moving on and moving up. And hopefully with that to better things. I'm done with the people, places, everything. It's all too familiar, my "regular" day basically consists of waking up at 6 (but not wanting to), get ready for school, go to school, come home, eat, do homework until the ungodly hours of early morning, and repeat the process over and over again, all the while dealing with family relationships, extracurriculars, and just life in general. Maybe I'm making my life seem a lot more hard or a lot easier than it really is, but I know that at the end of the day I'm usually exhausted, and might I add a little grumpy. Now, I know some of these things may not change in life, but I know for a fact that some of them will because I will be living MY life, not the depressing, slow-paced, and predictable life I do live. I know there will be change and I can tell it will be immediate (or at least I hope). I may be leaving you on a blank page here ending right now or left unsure about the things I have just said, but I'll be back, I promise, and this time, not in 2 years but hopefully more like 2 days.
