your friend, emily

dear friend,

i signed up for cross country this year because i needed another p.e. credit. i had friends who did cross country and they swore it was so fun. so awesome. what my friends forgot to mention was that cross country is also really early and a lot of running. also that my coach is sort of an idiot.

i joined the team as you can see and it has been the biggest mistake of my high school career. even more than the dumb painting class i took (on a side note: the painting part was fun. the teacher part was definitely not fun)
anyways i went to practice a few times and i did run in two meets but now the season is over so i basically skip cross country everyday. luckily i am semi-friends with the manager who takes attendance so my absences have been reduced quite a bit. but still, there are enough absences to make me, dare i say, truent. i am not even sure what "being truent" entails, but the word makes me nervous and the possiblilty of not getting credit makes me even more nervous.

i'm contemplating just going back to class but i'm actually even more nervous about how my coach will react to my sudden reappearance.

well, i have two weeks to think it over. on account of it being christmas break now.

i guess that is all.

sincerely,
emily
