To the limit of yours and minehaha I've been repeating that for the past two entries now. Strange, but they always seem to fit! Haha ahwells.
Quickly, I just hope you'll read this. You're one of the best people I've ever met/know. It would be so amazing if we were good friends. Had I stayed, we might've been. But whatever. I just know that you can do whatever you want to, against the odds even. I think you're someone who'll keep to her principals/things and you're stronger than you think you are. & you can be the person you want to be. Remember that at the end of the day, everything's going to be okay. REALLY. They always do. You once told me, hakuna matata! haha, now I'm saying it to you too.

Tune out, you'll get bored. Haha especially if you don't really care about hockey xD
Tournament was a huge mixture, but good overall. Best thing was, I proved Richard wrong. (coach) He's been so goddamned patronising to me ever since I joined this school and ughhh shut up will you. He's never believed that I can actually play hockey but yesterday, I proved him wrong. Haha. First 3 matches, Richard treated me as if I didn't exist so I was just, yeah. On the sidelines while everyone else got subbed in and out. Was so alsdkjh unfair cos ughhh. And it was so frustrating. We aren't a team yet. We've barely known each other for 3 weeks and already we're playing in a Surrey/County tournament. The team's basically made of 6 year11s and the rest year10s who really had no idea what U16 is all about - we've got a name to live up to now. So everyone (almost) was out there on the pitch, flaffing about. They didn't want the ball. Could've easily won the first 2/3 matches, ended up drawing first 2 and losing last. We were easily the best in the group but daskjlfh. Anyway Richard had this massive go at us before the final group match. Much as I dislike his prejudice against me, I had to agree with him. We weren't a team. No one wanted the ball. We've been to Nottingham and back, but only 6 out of 18 of us understood what that meant. Our team is so seperated haha. After that had a lunchbreak kind of thing then played our last match. Finally, FINALLY WE WERE WORKING. Was playing right defence. First time I've been on the defensive, it was the scariest thing ever. Plus the fact that it was Croydon High who are the roughest bunch we've ever played against. Haha. I thought I could've played much better but for some reason, was asked to play in the next few matches. Haha ( (:) Croydon High was our last group match and we only got into Quarters on sheer luck. Anyway played Epsom, won that through flicks. arrrrrrr it was SO tense haha . seems like we're always getting through to semis through flicks >> did that as well in teh Plate last year. Haha. St George's in the semis. They're clearly the best in the country I'm telling you. Ughh didn't get through after that, conceded 3 - 0. But it was good enough. If we'd been up against any of the other teams besides St. George, we could've gone through to the finals. But would've been beaten by St George anyway. Haha. Ahwell. Played defence all through. Haha that position's quite fun actually xD The opponent got so pissed off at me HAHAHA xD Was actually sticking to her like glue, funniest thing :D What I hate about is that although no one blames you, everytime a goal gets in, it's as if it's your fault for not saving it. Haha, because of that, I could never be a goalie and I'm really really impressed by everyone who's taken it up.
Anyway, now we're after the plate again. Keep playing with the spirit we did yesterday and we just might win it. Even though we don't have our star player, we've still got each other. Last year, we won because we all tried but mostly because we had an amazing person playing for us. This year, we don't really have that star player, but we've got each other. There's an amazing amount of talent here, (<< quote unquote Richard) we just need to work together. I think the best part of the day was when we thought we'd definitely got out, we didn't regret. We just hoped. And we got through. Haha, idealism goes a long way, me thinks. And it doesn't matter if we don't win (to me). At least we've been through this together and come U18, we'll be a killer sixth form team. You can count on it.

I dunno, I just get this .. dull ache inside of me when I think of it haha. damn. damn. damn. Ugh nevermind, this feeling'll pass and I guess I'll see them again, soon enough. (:
