Friday Oct. 21st

Still ridin’ high.  It all seems like a dream.  It’s hard to believe that I am All-County.  Today it was in the both newspaper.  The Rocky Mountain News had the results and even a full page story.  I was mentioned in both.  I kept a copy. The Denver Post only had results and they spelled my name wrong but I don’t care.   I got up at 8:20 due to a day off from school but we still had practice. It was okay. I felt tired and sore. After practice we went to Winchell’s donut hut.  Good eatin’. Then home.  I watched Rock and Roll High School starring the Ramones. I remember seeing this movie before I was a Ramones fan. I thought it was so bizarre. I still think it is but now I can appreciate the music more. Watched it until it was time to hoist my butt up and go get license plates.  They were $57.99 but my mom paid. She is really nice and not just because she paid for the plates.  Our car wouldn’t start at the county clerks so we hiked to Paul’s Place, a burger joint, and split a jumbo basket of fries and some pop. After 1/2 hour it started so we made out way home and rested until work.  It went just fine and with no major problems. A lot of junior high girls with experimenting with make-up came in.  Tomorrow I have to get up early then go to work.  Fun, fun but I need the money.  At work and in general I have adopted an attitude that I don’t care what others think of me because I proved myself what I knew I could be....a champion.  Kind of corny but I am so proud.  Didn’t mention it yesterday but we made history yesterday. We are the first Bear Creek team to win the league CC championships for boys. (The ladies won last year)

“I think about the events of that afternoon over and over again and I can’t help but smile” - Me on going all conference and our team’s success.
