Red means stop.

Well this isn't really like a random thought. It's more of news of what happened to me and a friend yesterday. I was at a conference for National Council of Youth Leadership out at Kirkwood and I rode with one of my friends. As we were leaving and driving back to the high school we got stopped by a red light just like the three cars in front of us did. We were stopped for probably fifteen seconds before we heard the squealing of the rubber tires coming closer and closer towards our ears. Then we look at each other and CRRUUNCH went the back of her car. Our heads flew forward right along with her car. We hit the car in front of her, but luckily it had no damage. However, the back of my friends car was cracked and damaged. It looked like the piece of the puzzle that looks like it should fit, but it just won't actually come together. Our heads were throbbing and my friends' neck was extremely sore. After going through the process of calling the police and discussing all the insurance information with the nineteen year old guy that hit us, we were back on the road and heading to the school again. We went to our school trainer to see if she could diagnose us with the symptoms that we were having and she couldn't. Since insurance was involved we had to go to the doctor. I did what the trainer said and my dad took me to the doctor. The doctor was concerned that my headache was getting worse and I was feeling off balanced when I walked. Unfortunately since she was so concerned, I was sent to the hospital! A little ridiculous I thought for just having a headache. Once I arrived at the hospital I was sent to the Emergency Room, once again a little far fetched, and I was given a wrist band with my name on it. Probably my favorite part of the whole day, I have the wrist band on my keys now. It's a good thing that I wasn't seriously in need of assistance because I sat there for about ten minutes waiting to get called into this little see through glass room. They asked me the same questions the doctor did, and in the end they told me I was fine. I knew I was fine the whole time, but they were being so over protective and I was getting irritated with it. Anyways, that was my eventful day yesterday. My advice is don't drive on Kirkwood Boulevard if someone in a blueish-grey car is behind you.

IM BACK.

I'm back! It's been awhile since I've last posted so I apologize immensley. I had a great summer filled with softball every single day. Although it may seem like I'm complaining and being sarcastic, I'm not. Softball was actually fun this year and we did the best we have ever done before! We even accomplished this without our regular assistant coach. She had to move to Germany for a year because of business reasons so we were accompanied by another coach for the season! It was fun and enjoyable getting to learn the different skills and life lessons that the other coach taught us, but we all stilled missed our original coach. Anyways enough about the details. Our original coach will be coming  back next season and the replacement coach won't be. The replacement coach got another coaching opportunity and she decided to take it. It'll be weird without her, but I'm sure she'll come visit. Hopefully she will anyways. She was really nice and fun! Well enough about softball.
Now that I'm back on the web, expect something everyday! I'm going to try and write something every day of the school week, so lets hope that I don't fail. Anyways hope you all enjoyed your summer and the rest of your day. Just remember I'm back so come and visit my website.
