Problems at Practice.

Four practices into our travel ball season, the shoulder pains I experienced in the town ball season two months before started acting up again.  During the town ball season, I didn't think much of the pain and treated it as a pulled muscle. Well, turns out, the pain did have to do with my muscles, but it wasn't pulled. I have multidirection instability; MDI for short.  That's when muscles are too weak to stay joints in place. I was really upset when I heard that I wasn't able to play for six weeks.

At the beginning of the practice I noticed that everyone's throw was so much stronger then mine.  All the energy I was trying to use was half of all my teammates'.  The more I tried to throw stronger, the more noticeably weak my throw was.  My coach also saw that my throw wasn't the same as it usually is and kept an watched me throw for a while.

The more I participated during practice, the more I tried hiding the pain.  I was able to tell that I was working harder than everyone else because I was able to smell  the thin layer of sweat starting to form on my body, while everyone was still cooled off.

When my team was practicing throwing from outfield to home, my shoulder reached the climax of its pain and I heard my coach call out to me, "Maria, are you alright? Do you need a break?" Not enjoying sitting out of practice, I replied no and continued throwing.  My turn came again and as I threw the ball into home I made a loud grunt of pain and again I heard my coach call out, "Maria, this time I'm not giving you an option, go rest your arm."  So I went and sat in the dugout.

So while I'm icing my arm in the dugoout, I take of sip of my tangy gatorade that I bought before practice started.  I sat the rest of the practice, so I walked to the consession stand and bought myself Sour Patch Kids, which made the gatorade I was drinking taste extra sour.

As the practice ended I stood up and felt the rough gravel on my flipflops.  I felt weak and helpless as I went into the huddle with my team and was told the news for our upcoming practice and tournament.  Unfortunally, I wasn't able to play in either of them because of my shoulder.

Damage Inc.

Well.. my team lost the tournament this weekend, but that's okay because we were able to have a bunch of team bonding! We wanted to go to a haunted house together, but the parents said no. :( So instead we went to AMC and watch Paranormal Activitiy 3! :D May I add, that it was so much better the first and second movie! I didn't eve scream during the first two and let's just say the people next to us laughed at me and my friends for screaming so loud. hehe. I'd definitely see it again and probably still scream the same amount.  I absolutely LOVE my softball team! We've all known each other since August and we've bonded soo quickly!  They're all so loud and crazy.:) It was nice to get away from Dyer for a weekend and be with them. I love the fact that mostly all of them are straight up and honest with everyone! Well I'll add a picture we took at the movie theatre to this post... but my head looks round in it:( oh well!

sLoW dAy.

• Wake up
• Go to school
• Go to physical therapy
• Three hour nap
• And now sleep

That's how productive my day was. Did I study for Spanish test tomorrow? Nope. Did I study for my chapters 1-6 vocab test tomorrow? Nope. I can tell already tomorrow isn't going to be fun. But what I can say is that for the around two weeks I've found an actual topic about what I'm going to write posts about; they're going to  involve one of my cousins from my mom's side; I have fourteen of them. So one per day! :) Well.. goodnight!

Amateur photography?~

So I took this coming home from school today, and I thought it looked pretty cool :) it looks waay better on my phone though.:(

Happy Birthday, Vaio! ♥

Nothing better on a rainy day than wearing baggy sweatpants, an XL sweatshirt, hair in a messy bun and cuddling with your dog on the couch and watching Kung Fu Panda :) It's also my older cousins birthday today! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, VAIO! :D ...Not like he'll see this anyways, but it' the thought that counts. He turns twenty today, or is it 19? I think it's twenty, oh well! I'll add a picture to this post and show you all who he is :) Before I was born & before my parents found out if I was a boy or girl, he told them that if I was a girl he'd nickname me "Snowflake" and if I was a boy he'd name me "Scamper". Obviously I'm a girl, so my nickname from him is Snowflake. I even have a sign in my room from when I was born that says 'Snowflake'. :D My friends birthday is in two days, too! I'm most likely going to her party, but I fear I won't have too much fun. We've drifted sooo much and there's going to be sooo many people there. I invision that we're just going to say hi to each other and she won't say another word to me the whole time. That's life for 'ya. Although I already had plans with Alex and Brandon. Sooo let's see if they're willing to go with. Hopefully they are! But on another note, that geometry test I blogged about yesterday, well...it was easy! Now I'm nervous about the powerpoint presentation I have to give tomorrow:/ It shouldn't be too hard though; considering it's over a restaurant that I had to make up! & I have a spanish test Friday:( boooo. I really enjoy blogging and will most likely post or edit something on my blog later one tonight, toodles!

Eventually I'll get better at blogging;)

It's Tuesday... my most HATED day of the week. I'd rather it be a Monday than Tuesday; I don't know why though. I'm wierd like that. It was a blue day though, so I guess it balances out, blue days are so much easier. Only because white days start with geometry :(  I actually like geometry though. Just not at 7 am...  But I had softball practice from 6:30-8:30 tonight; too bad I can't play for who knows how much longer. I'm on a travel ball team, and I'm on the IR list because of my shoulders. I have weak & inflamed muscles so my joints have a tendancy to pop out and dislocted on a daily basis. It's call "Multi-Directional Instability"..sounds fun right? WRONG. Oh well. I feel as if I'm writing this to no one, but someone is bound to read this, right? Hopefully.. if not, at least I took the time to make my blog pretty:) Actually, I don't even think it's that pretty. Ehh, whateverr. I'm honestly not looking forward to tomorrow just because of a test, a great way to ruin my whole day. I should probably go to bed soon; it's 9:26 and I can barely keep my eyes open, I'm such a loser.  I'm pretty sure this is what you're supposed to do in a blog? Like just write about stuff and your day? I doubt I'll keep updated from day-to-day..I'll post stuff everday because I really like this, I just won't tell my life story because, trust me, my life isn't all too fun. I kind of want to post a picture in one of my blog posts, but I'm not sure what to do. hmmmm.. I'll think of something I'm sure! I'll probably post a random picture..OR A QUOTE.. I'm kinda..sorta..maaaaaybe obssessed with quotes. And laughing. Maybe I'll find a quote about laughing?! Hmm.. I think it's a plan. Well I should probably head off too bed. Enjoy reading this completely random paragraph of somewhat of my day. I'll get better at this, I promise. Night bloggers <3
