Day 39

Today was good. I woke up early ish, like 9:45..my ankle was throbbing..ugh..so i took some painkillers and started my day. Tina came over with chicken salads and candy and we watched movies all day:) We watched the Devil wears Prada (one of my favs) and studio 54, which I hadnt seen before..it was good. So it was a fun day. She really helped me keep my mind off my foot. Later, she even took me grocery shopping:) After that, Tomas, the coach of the second team, came over to look at my ankle. He was on the phone with Anders the whole time so I couldnt understad what the hell they were saying..so it was kind of frustrating..but basically they dont think that its broken, or fractured..but it definetely seemed like i knew more about my ankle and how to take care of it..they said if its not feeling better by Monday..Ill go to Skelleftea to see the doctor and get an xray (which i would have rather had done today)..but thats the way it goes..Just very different over here the way that injuries are handled. Just makes me nervous a little bit. Anyway, tommorow i am going to try and flex it back and forth and get some flexibility back..and just hope its not too soon:) So now im watching this show with Bill Gates and Warren Buffet discussing strategies for success..so im taking notes:) Warren Buffet just said something that I completely agree with and is the way I want to live my life. He said "You really want to be excited every morning you get out of bed." (in terms of choosing your career path) He said you need to follow your passion..do something that really turns you on. Which is cliche but makes sense. Its like this : You choose to do something you love, become passionate about it, if youre passionate about your career you have a strong work ethic, and if you have a strong work ethic you WILL be successful..no matter what you want to do. Hearing that quote by Buffet about getting out of bed excited, got me excited about working in the future..I just have to find the right job. I know my Mom and sister are probably laughing if theyre reading this.."What, Kerri excited about working?" haha because i havent been too excited in the past..volleyball has always been my job..and i love it so much..but eventually i want to explore other areas and reach my potentail mentally as well as physically. Buffet also said that it's sad how many people go through their whole lives only using so much of their brains and only reaching a certain level of their potential..and that is sad. I want to live my life continuously striving to reach my full potential..learning and growing each and every day:) Well i think thats enough for tonight..More later!
