After PE, I had to go to detention and stay sitting for 40 minutes doing nothing while my body ached to be cooled off. I was wearing a long-sleeved shirt, along with a long-sleeved pair of yoga pants. The heat was almost unbearable, lucky I had the chance to cool down a bit before I had to sit down. After that, I went to the volleyball game at four. I didn't really think that I'd be playing a lot, but I was expecting a decent amount of playing time. Instead, I was put in during the second set, played for a total of five minutes, and then the whole team (who were currently on the court replacing the starters) were asked to be subbed out. It was ridiculous. It was degrading! We had to stand next to the people who were replacing us on the court, because the referee had to note who was replacing who, which gave everyone time to look at the people who were being subbed out. It makes us look like we're the bad players. I honestly tried to keep a smile on, and act like everything was okay, but it wasn't. It really wasn't. There's no point in playing if I'm not actually playing.
On the bright side--indeed, there were a few bright sides to this horrible day--I got to eat lunch. People pitched in and gave me fragments of their lunches. My detention wasn't all that bad because MinJoo sat in front of me giving me a good view of her computer screen while she looked up funny things on the internet. I also did yoga. I know I'm becoming more flexible because we did a couple exercises that I wasn't able to do a few months before. I'm getting there. Hopefully, I'll be able to look at things more positively, and not sweat the little things. I'm getting there. I'm getting there.
