~:[CH6 - Day 116]:~ Meet & Greet
Today was all about getting ready for Huntington in class and all about getting ready for league at practice. With today being our final practice together, it was a bittersweet moment, as I left knowing that after today, this group would be no longer as a whole. It's a yearly process that has gotten more regular, but it doesn't mean it's any easier. Throughout life, you meet all kinds of people in all kinds of settings and my students always become a big part of my life. The rest of the day was all about that, meeting people. My stomach wasn't settled and maybe it was because I wasn't the most comfortable going to a social setting. The introvert in me came forward and so I knew I had to dress the part to help myself get out of the box. Of course, it was a lot easier to have your friend introduce you to everyone in the world since she knows everyone. That made it a lot easier and I survived the night with a handful of friends made by night's end. Before going home, I stopped off at Caffe Bene and relaxed a bit so that I could recover. I became one of the worst types of customers as I heard my drink called, but in reality, I heard it wrong and I don't think it was my drink. They fixed it all, but I felt bad for awhile that I made that mistake. One of our alumni at our school helped open this place up and while I didn't run into her, as I was hoping to schedule an interview for our 50th anniversary film, there is that hope that it will happen if I keep stopping by here. I doubt it, but you never know. In any case, by night's end, I felt good about the day as through my students, my athletes and friends, I found comfort in a little conversation, something that doesn't come easy for everyone. However, being surrounded by such amazing people, it makes life a lot easier. How am I so lucky?
