Last week on Wednesday, I had a volleyball game. There was this one ball that my friend bumped, and instead of going over the net, it went up. At first, I thought, someone has to get it. eek It felt like an eternity before I actually looked around and realize I was the closest one to it. So then, I gave it my all, and ran for it. scream I landed on my left knee. Now, I WOULD have gotten the ball if I slid across the floor. My school, however, reglossed the gym floor to a gripier question surface. Thus, during this dive, I did not slide. stressed I did not get the ball. sweatdrop To top it off, I even skinned off a bit of my knee. gonk THIS was where it all started. evil

Also, Erika, if you're reading this, sorry I didn't react fast enough. crying

So yesterday, with my knee covered in a giant scab, I had volleyball practice. It wasn't THAT big here yet, my scab, I mean. At this point, it was just really deep, but it was healing. mrgreen During volleyball practice, everything was all fun and games until the last few minutes. Why not finish the practice with a few short round of scrimmage volleyball. rolleyes Basically, we go against our own team to practice. I was put on team one. It was going pretty smoothly, I'd say. Then it came. This one, incredibly short, but sufficient set from the opposing team. I ran, all out, and got it. ninja People cheered, I did too. biggrin My knee hurt like hell though. At home, I checked on it, and the scab was displaced. emo I had dived, and landed on the same knee, at the same point on my knee. My scab was taken off completely, revealing a fresh wound. burning_eyes Yay for bright red!

So I thought, dang, I'm getting injured quite a bit nowadays. confused

Way to jinx it Lucia, way to jinx it. stressed

Today, in gym, we played an extreme version of what seemed to be tag. In this tag, random people are given pinnies, and everyone runs and tries to steal pinnies. Yeah, pretty simple... until it starts. HOLY CRAP. eek At first, I was confused, and I didn't know who to chase. neutral And then I got my hands on someone's pinny. I ran. Man, did I run. scream And someone was running right at me. He was running away from someone chasing him, I was running away from someone chasing me, and then BABAAM. gonk We crashed. I ended up on the floor.

And ow. crying

I used my arms to cushion my fall. I am SUCH an idiot. stare The second my palm hit the floor, my instincts moved them. WHY INSTINCTS, WHY? scream And FOR SOME BIZARRE REASON, my knee was next to hit the floor. I felt it this time. I felt the almost-scab be rubbed off, and I felt the slight sting after a bit more skin was peeled. emo

"Sorry, Lucia. Are you okay?" sad
"Hm? Oh. Yeah, I'm fine." sweatdrop

Yeah. I was totally fine. We were called to the middle of the gym, like elementary kids. I checked my knee. I saw blood. eek It wasn't bleeding a lot, but there was a lot of blood, smeared all over my skin. cry Like, seriously. I pity my knee.

I raise my hand.

"Um, Ms. Siefert, may I go to my locker and get myself a bandaid?" sweatdrop
"Bandaid..? Uh, sure." 3nodding
"Thank you."

Of course, I carry around bandaids in my backpack. You should too! Anyways, I got one, put it on, and that was that. 4laugh

Wow, what a crappy finish to an entry.

Um, yeah. So my knee is bleeding, and I'm bothered by it, so I wrote about it.

I took a shower just a while ago, it seems the bleeding stops. 3nodding It still looks disgusting though. Stings a bit too. I'll suck it up. I MEANT, I'll bear through it. I won't, like, suck on it. Wow, that sounded dirty. xp

Well, I'll be going then.

I don't know if I've said this so before, but thanks for reading. 4laugh
