Guard Practice (Also First Day of Carpool)

Okay, I might end up venting here, even though I'm not exactly mad... Just very, very frustrated... at myself.
We learned so much friggin crap today, I don't even remember anything beyond the first 3 steps. I mean seriously, if you expect me to remember 48 steps of the opener, plus 72 steps for Diego's Goodbye, you are sadly mistaken. I'm so friggin pissed that I don't get ANYTHING we're doing, I always end up messing up somehow, then we have to start the whole thing over again. So friggin stupid. I'm better at swing flags though, no tosses, but I still get hella confused on all the lunges and turns and crap. Oh well. On a good note though, my uniform supposedly fits me very well, according to Kelly, which is sad because I'm wearing guy pants. XD But so is half the guard, so whatever. Plus, I can almost do the splits! Right AND left! Not so much center though... So basically, I'm okay at the flexibility part, and sucky at the actual flagwork.

First day of carpool today! I was seriously paranoid that I'd end up holding up my carpool, so I rushed through everything. Lol. But turns out, I was ready a good 5 minutes before Ross and his mom showed up. So all's well. Then like, Ross as sitting on the left, but I though he was sitting on the right, so I went to the left, we saw each other, and simultaneously moved to the right. It's like when you get blocked by someone in the hallway and you both moved to some side at the same time. It was hecka funny. Then Ross's mom was asking about Jess and how my mom didn't have to work, and it was sort of funny yet sad because you could sort of tell that she envies my mom for being able to sleep in and all (Ross' mom works), plus she feels sort of guilty for not being home when Ross gets home (she said I was lucky to have someone at home when I got home). But yeah, Ross' mom is cool. Basically, from now on, I'm no longer going to be afraid that I'll be late so I shall take my time getting up and sleep for an additional... 5 minutes. XD
