Short Story July 15th: I just got done with training at my local rink, it sucks. Three days a week I get the wonderful opportunity to get up at 5:30, and bike to the rink a couple of miles away. Which is my favorite thing to do in the morning….I’m just kidding. When I get there I have to warm up by sprinting, and stretching for 15 minutes. Next I have to go in the weight room for an hour or so, and lift weights. Which is my favorite room, it’s so clean…not.

I’m nervous, because there more than one day of tryouts, there’s three days. Tomorrow is the worst day of them all, its dynamics. Which means you do drills by yourself in front of the whole team, and judges. The last two days are just games, so that’s not as bad.
