The commute to practice is exactly 30 mins. So I've been able to polish off entire novels, meeting my 1 book a month goal that I set for myself even before Hannah was born. Tonight was my last practice as a new skater and I find out in a mere few hours if I will be drafted to join Texas Rollergirls. The book played, but I don't remember a single event that happened. My mind was just replaying moments from practice, really throughout the whole process.
If I don't make it, I totally would understand. There's other opportunities for derby in Austin and I can grow there.
But if I do make it, holly cow! To be able to skate with and learn from the best in the world, would totally knock my socks off. Every practice I see these athletic women doing amazing things with their bodies and it's always so inspiring!
All day my stomach has been doing flips the moment I think any derby thoughts. As I left practice, knowing that my derby career for the next few month was already predetermined (apparently the draft happened before tonight's practice) I sighed a breath of relief.
