So today has sucked gangrenous balls. I wake up with a majorly sore throat, and it goes downhill from there. Throghout the day I get sicker and sicker, and when I finally get out of work at 5, I have a pounding headache, and feel achey all over. I then go talk to the track coach, who proceeds to talk to me about motivation and how I feel about the team. Me missing two meets in a row, and not being at practice at all for the past two weeks seemed to have really annoyed some people. My throwing coach apparently is also very hurt/pissed/affronted at me for not showing up. I wrote an apology to her, and am going to send it to her tomorrow. Here's a copy of it.

Dear Coach,

I just wanted to thank you for helping me throughout my first year of college throwing. I know I wasn’t the best athlete to coach, and I apologize for that. But I want you to know, you were one of the best things about the track team. Your wonderful sense of humor kept me from getting pissed off throughout the season, and you helped me go past my limits, which admittedly I reach rather easily. You have been a wonderful coach, and I hope that you manage to get a spot as throws coach next year. That would be awesome! Good luck at ECAC’s – I’m sure you’ll shatter the record, and your name will be on the board for the next decade or so!

Thanks a ton,

The Wookie

So, that's that and hopefully I'll be able to pull myself together next year and get a good season out. I really do feel bad about missing all that practice. Oh well. I'm going to go sleep now, and see if I feel any better when I wake up.
