Red Fox and other thoughts

It has been one hell of a weekend. I made it to the boat on Friday with less than 15 minutes to spare, despite the fact that my trip began with a mild traffic accident. There was a wind advisory all day I guess and my parents were really worried that we weren't going to have enough people. It ended up working out alright in the end, and we got 1st place for the Nucore Triangle.

Saturday was a stressful pre-Red Fox morning as usual. Then we get out on the lake and for the first two legs of the race, we did horrible. It was the worst sailing I have seen our team do in a long time. Our tacks were taking close to 15 seconds, when they should easily be under 5 seconds with all the experience our crew has. I was disappointed. We got way behind as a result and weren't really able to do enough catching up - 3rd place to Sail La Vie and Sails Call.

Saturday, a boring afternoon and evening turned into an amazing night. I had a great time with someone I'd never expected to hit it off with. It was nice to not feel worthless with a man for once.

Sunday the race was cancelled because there wasn't any wind on the lake. That was disappointing, but it wouldn't have really been a race with all the boats just floating around out there.

Today, one of my *friends* (does he even deserve to be called my friend?) called me to hang out and I told him I'd call him back...and as usual, he doesn't answer his phone or check his im's. I'm sick of dealing with his shit. It's become painstakingly obvious that he doesn't actually care about me at all, and I'm ready to drop that *relationship* (again, can I even call it that when he refuses to be seen with me in public?) once and for all. I just don't WANT to take it anymore.

I am ready to go back to school and sleep in MY bed.
