playing volleyball, having good grades, getting enough sleep, getting enough to eat is way hard to do. my life has been all about volleyball for the past 2 months. It has probably been the hardest and funnest thing i've ever done. but there are good things and bad things about playing for a highschool team. i'm gone from 7:20 am till 6:00 pm. It's a very long and hard day. I wake up at 6:00 get ready for school leave my house at 7:20 for the bus. then i go to school from 8:00-2:50 or whatever time i have to check out. then at 2:50 i go and change into my volleyball stuff. at 3:00 i meet all the girls outside and we drive over to alta. from then on till 6 it's alta volleyball. (thats just a practice day) for a game day its the same but i usually get to check out a little earlier. then we go to alta and either ride a bus to an away game or go to alta and start setting up. when we get on the court we all say a cheer and then we start warming up. then we get to play! the order goes first sophomore team, second varsity, third jv. we get to stay for that whole time. it's so long. right when we get done playing our game we get to go shag for the varsity team while they are warming up. when they are getting ready to play we get to eat some food that we packed or our parents brought us then we get to cheer the whole rest of the time. if we don't cheer.... i don't think we wanna know what will happen:) but its so fun making up new cheers and having fun. then when varsity game is over we get to do a little bit of our homework. but we still have to cheer while we do that. and in volleyball the games are best 3games out of 5. so it could go on forever. first 2 games are to 25 last 3 are to 15. We love beating the team in three because we get out earlier. so on game days i don't get home until like 8 and on practice days i get home at 6. when i get home i eat dinner, take a shower, do my homework and go to bed. its way hard keeping up your grades. i have a ton of homework everynight. but i stay up and do it anyway. for alta volleyball you have to have good grades. if not......punishments will come physically and i don't think i wanna go there. ha ha but its not that bad it just takes a lot of time and effort. i love playing volleyball i think i've improved so much and i love all the girls there. here are some lists and things.
