Yesterday.
I went to Randall’s Island, over an hour away, to a two hour practice.
I wasn’t home from 4-9.
Today
I am going out to Calverton, 45 minutes away, to go to a two hour long soccer practice. Tomorrow
I am going to another two hour practice that is 45 minutes away.
The next day
The same thing.
After my four days of practice
I’m leaving straight after school to Baltimore for a soccer tournament
I’m planning to meet a college coach on the way.
The next day
I’m playing two tournament games then leaving immediately after to go to Boston.
After that.
I’m playing at BU so the college can get a good look at me.
Then the next day I go to Randall’s Island again and my week continues the same week after week.

When do I get homework done?
I don’t.
When do I sleep?
I don’t know.
For now, I can just keep squeezing my time.

This peice is not very deep or complicated. However, I think many people can relate to this. I am a junior in high school and too much is going on. Soccer is the core to my stress and then the rest of my world becomes a mess. Sometimes I just wish time could stop and I could just sleep forever.
