I knew the day was going to come, but I just never thought this soon.
I was so nervous about the game. I bit my fingernails before, during, and afterward. The game was a rollercoaster of excitement and disappointment. Too bad it ended with the later. I have been a Duke fan for about 6 years, but I honestly can't say I have felt as much for a player as I have for J.J. Redick. There was just something about the way he played. Wow, I'm going to miss him as a blue devil. I guess there's that old saying that everything good must come to an end. I just wish it would have ended better for him. If Laura and Al wouldn't have been there I probably would have cried. Poor J.J. cried. I can't blame him. He worked so hard for all those years. Sure he can go pro, but it just isn't the same. Well enough sadness. I will just have to remember the happy times. He sure was a heck of a blue devil. This entry is dedicated to J.J., my all time favorite blue devil. :)'
Hm...what did I do today?
-Laura and I had an exciting time at the gym. We worked out and swam.
-Helped Olga and Taylor find Gee St. lol
-I went to McAlister's and ate with my family.
-Got my eyebrows waxed. They look so sexy now. ;)
-Went to Alysa's and hung out for a bit.
-Watched the game.
-Went to Josie's with Laura and some VV kids.
-Left Josie's and rocked out to old dance music. Heck yes.
-Picked up Al and went to IHOP.
Tomorrow we leave for Kentucky. I honestly should be in bed right now, but I felt this stupid complusion to write in my journal. I try to believe I'm not addicted, but I know there's no hope. I feel different tonight. I'm not quite sure what it is.
I feel empowered and changed. I'm not really sure why, but I do. I looked at the stars tonight on our way to and from Josie's and I started to think about things. My future, my career, just about everything you could imagine a person could think about. Usually when I do this I feel overwhelmed, but something inside of me tonight randomly said "Hey, everything is going to work out and be okay." It's cliche, but from then on tonight I kind of just smiled and believed it. Maybe everything is going to be okay. I have a bad habit of worrying, but tonight for a moment it just sort of left me. I know the stress will probably come back soon, but it was nice, if just for one moment, to realize somehow things always work themselves out. I feel comforted.
Hope everyone enjoys the last few weeks of Spring Break. Be Safe.
