it's the DALLAS CHEERLEADERS on cmt

I've been watching this reality show about the Dallas cheerleaders and how they are training for the football season. They go through tryouts, cuts, training, more cuts, boot camp, and more cuts- and it's intense!!! They're judged on their dance skills, teamwork, effort, focus,... all this stuff- and a ton of it is their appearance. The judges and coaches stress so much the girls' body mass, weight, and percentage of body fat. They're told to work out more, eat less, wear less make up, wear more make up, kick higher, run faster, smile bigger. They're yelled at and worn out and really stressed. It makes me miss competition and being an athlete so much! I've started working out (Turbo Jam DVD's in the basement- kickin and dancin with Chalene!), and I'm so proud of myself for just that :), but I do it alone, not with a team or anything. I miss that. Not that I'm dying to be a cheerleader, but I would so much love to get back on a team and play volleyball. Oh haha, something else I was thinking of while watching- all these cheerleaders are twig thin and so in shape, so, although I usually watch TV with a can of Pringles and a carton of Breyer's, there's no way I can do that while watching this show! .... and then the commercials so far are full of Pizza Hut, and Taco Bell, and scenes of families around the dinner table, attacking mashed potatoes and fried chicken. How extremely ironic! Chalene, here I come, let's go Turbo Jam!!!

I have a math exam tonight. It's the second one of the semester, and I really am terrible at trigonometry. I've been sick all week, and I'm really tired. I've been getting up a few hours earlier than my classes start to take Madam Adam to his classes- he sprained his ankle pretty bad playing football over the weekend and can't walk very fast.... he really can only hobble. My exam starts in less than half an hour and I don't feel ready for it. I am so nervous, and so tired, and feel so crappy. I can only pray that I will do well- I've gone to all the classes, done all but a couple of the homework assignments, take AMAZING notes, but still... I suck at math. Wish me luck, I'm off to Elliot.
