As a forewarning, I would just like to say that this post is just about apathy, the rest was just a play on a somewhat popular album (Smashing Pumpkins).
District is tomorrow. That means that tomorrow, I get to skip school, sit in the delco center, and have a chance at progressing to Regionals. woot. The worst part? I don't want to win. No one wants to even go to District. Ever since Coach Hopkins was replaced by Coach Padilla, the team has come to the conclusion that wrestling isn't fun anymore. (I guess I should give some insight):
First off, I just want to say that Coach Hopkins was a terrible coach. She was really quiet and would often just show up to practice so we wouldn't be practicing illegally. Yet, she was somehow better a coach than Padilla. Padilla is a short, devilish, near-senile man in the shape of an armadillo that will yell at you if you even speak during one of your teammates match (slight exaggeration but that has actually happened to me before). He gets angry. It's almost as if he is getting more worked up from watching his team wrestle than anyone else in the frickin' gym is. Scratch that, he does get more worked up than everyone else. That's not all. He's also a terrible coach. On multiple occasions, he's "taught" us a move, and then we'd practice it. The bad part to this? He has gotten mad at people for messing up a move that they're practicing. There are other examples I can think of to demonstrate that he is a bad coach, but I feel a tad under the weather and have been stressed most all day.
This rant isn't a very productive rant because I haven't gotten all of my honest thoughts out, nor have I used these let-out thoughts to come to any sort of solution. I can still try though, I have 20 minutes until class is over. I lost all resemblance to a train of thought, darn. For some reason, I'm not very good at paying attention in this class. It's odd, but I assume there are fairly obvious reasons. Okay, I can't remember what I was going to talk about.
SUMMATION: District is tomorrow but the team might just fall apart before we even get there. only about 10 people showed up to practice on Monday, and our regular attendance has been closer to 20. No one wants to wrestle because our coach isn't making it fun anymore. The end.
