Stop Holding Me Back

Exactly two weeks since my last entry. I really need to keep typing more.
Half yearlies are up and there's always that push from parents that pressures an extra to your body weight. So this fortnight progresses with that feeling of regret to study which pulls me down. This month I'm indulging in too many chocolates. Of course they're delicious but i really need to control my cravings. I've also seemed to be cutting down on my physical activity which is basically taking my dog for a walk each day. Could this attitude be an outcome of the chilly weather? Maybe so. The sun sets really early and i struggle to find as little as a ray of light to go for a walk after school.

Fortunately thought my sores don't hurt anymore but there's a nice pink bruise on my knee for myself to nurture. Today i have to say was the most boring day. Nothing interesting popped out of nowhere, no conversation bloomed out of air and there was definitely no laughter to sound. Today was a big frown rather than a smile. I mean, Saturday, the day of relaxation, Infinite hours of sleep and spending quality time with friends and family. There was nothing of that. I did go out today but i was just following the crowd or the order. Following in line, that is all, nothing more. It was quite unlike Friday. Friday was full of laughter.

Feel the Wrath of Mr Pain

Well during the week we had our athletics carnival, lasting for two days. What can i say, it was exactly like any other athletics carnival but compared to my other experiences with athletics carnivals this was almost like a jig. We had a fair bit of free time to chat amongst. Unfortunately on the first day of the carnival nearing to the finish of the day i was injured whilst running around playing a game. I slid near a slope, scraping my right knee, leaving a round patch of cut skin and dripping blood. Thankfully this incident didn't take place while participating in any events. Even through the day "the fall" took place the blood didn't stop pouring out. Overall I wouldn't say the injury deeply affected myself during the carnival but that was still a responsibility to encounter competing in the events.

Another chapter of the week was just two days ago when i was at tennis training. It was as usual, running laps, a series of drills and then for the hard core training. Pfft, "hard core", totally. Well anyway, during the "hard core training" i swing at my racquet confident to "magically place" the ball in the court(i truly don't know how i do it, it's amazing, really. xD). As i do so my brain over indulges with the fact of power rather than precision. I swing and hit the ball, lose my ability to balance and control myself by the millisecond, unknowingly smashing the racquet into my nose. Smack down! Ouch! what else can i say? Well really, i didn't say anything. I placed my hand over my nose, trying to make realisation of the pain, I turn away from the court speaking not a sound. It shut my talkative side alright. I got it good, right in the nose. Fortunately for the big swing I had achieved the job of "placing the ball" into the court. Although tears gushed outwards from my eyes. I did not cry. But still water ran out. I didn't break and cry. That isn't classified crying, right? It's like when you yawn and tears fall out of your eye, except in this scenario it was myself punching out my sense of smell. No blood though. I was strong and able to continue training though. I like playing tennis, it gives me an opportunity to escape the worries life throws out at you and express any anger you have in more than just words. When i arrived home i raced to the freezer, grabbed out a frozen packet of whatever it was, put on a jacket and plopped on the sofa like a potato. And that is when I felt it, the pain, it really gets to you when you start relaxing because that is when the signals transfer from one vein to the other being concious. With weather as cold as ice these days the pain was unendurable. You ask what state i'm in two days later (now)? I sit here bearing the twinge of both sores. My knee hasn't healed and my nose is still swollen. They better cure before Monday. Or, or... Or else.
