Oh, no, God...

There's nothing really that new on the hearing aid front.  It's still really difficult to hear people talking if there is any type of background noise happening.  Even on the phone!  It's frustrating because I thought that hearing aids were going to be a quick overnight fix to my, "Huh?" and "What?" 's on the phone, but I've been let down.  Pisses me off.

Today was practice and I got my ass kicked by the endurance drills.

Warm-Up Drill:

- Sprint from one end of the rink to the other, when you reach the end do a four-point (Superman) slide, get back up, sprint to the other end of rink, do the same thing.
- This went on for about 10 minutes I guess?

I had to modify after the first couple of falls.  I was really shaky getting up, and very slow, so Hollywood told me to just touch the walls on both ends after sprinting.  She believes that with a couple weeks of conditioning that my endurance will be up and that I'll be able to keep up with the rest of the skaters.

Jammer Hell Drill:

- Sprint for 2 minutes, roll it out for 30 seconds.
- I'm not sure how long this went on for.

The Angel and the Asshole Drill:

- The Angel puts on the Jammer panty.
- The Asshole puts on the Pivot panty.
- The Blockers move in pack formation.
- The Angel gets through the pack by communication, no illegal hits, nobody should hit her because she is the "angel".
- The Asshole gets through the pack by any means necessary.  Illegal moves are allowed and encouraged.
- I was both the Angel and the Asshole, and they were awesome!  I loved being the Asshole more though.  I skated the opposite direction on the track and fell in the middle of the pack, I skated behind the pack and dove into them.  I skated behind them and yanked Squishy back causing him and a couple other people to fall?

Eeyore Drill:

- We were split into 2 teams (red and blue).
- We were given a stuffed Eeyore toy that we had to pass amongst our teammates after 5 seconds. 
- If we were knocked down, or knocked out of bounds, the Eeyore toy was given to the opposite team.

Hit Somebody! Drill:

- While skating in a pack, Hollywood, Mr. Hollywood, and Sonic Wave called our names, and told us what to do (fall, throw a hit, and who to throw it to).

During the Eeyore Drill, a few girls tripped, and I took 3 skates (that's 12 wheels) to the back of my left ass cheek and thigh.  I am in SO much pain right now.  Plus I have to work tomorrow, which I am not happy about because it was unexpected.  I won't get another day off until Wednesday.  :(

My new body and paychecks better be worth this shit.
