Well there goes my daily blog entry already. I was wondering how long that would last, I'm trying my best, but the only excuse I can think of is I'M SO BUSY. That is one excuse I hate hearing, but it is one I tend to use on a daily basis.
A typical weekday schedule this summer for me seems to be:
Monday: Gym 7-745am. Tower practice 8-930am. Math 10-1130am. Internship 12-1pm. Springboard practice 1pm-245pm. Work 3-11pm.
Tuesday: Weights 9-945am. Math 10-1130am.Internship 12-1pm. Springboard practice 1pm-245pm. Work 3-11pm.
Wednesday: Gym 7-745am. Tower practice 8-930am. Math 10-1130am. Internship 12-1pm. Springboard practice 1pm-245pm. Work 3-11pm.
Thursday: Weights 9-945am. Math 10-1130am.Internship 12-1pm. Springboard practice 1pm-245pm. Work 3-11pm.
Friday: MORNING OFF! Practice 1-245pm. Work 3-11pm.
That is a rough draft of my schedule. Some days I have off of work, as I will work a weekend shift instead.
As my Mom always told me "That's life in the fast lane."
Being a student-athlete a lot of the time feels like an athlete-student. Your sport is most important, but you still have to manage being a student with impeccable grades. Work to pay the bills and an internship to build your resume. I feel like I am the big nerd in high school trying to cram every extra circular activity in like I am applying for Harvard.
At the end of the day when I am passing out as soon as I hit my pillow I remember one thing.... It's worth it.
