Waiting

I'm torn about Tuesday. Part of me wishes that I could suspend time so I could get in really good shape before my first practice. The other part of me wants Tuesday to happen now so I can be sure this is all real.

Because in my head, I show up for practice and nobody knows me or why I'm there. Or they see me skate for a few minutes and decide they made a huge mistake.

I know my endurance is not good. I know practice is going to be really challenging for me. But if I stick with it, I will get better. I probably have a lot farther to go than a lot of the girls, but I also think I can go really far. I will be a good skater and skating with the team is the way to do it.
