We do it every week. We make our way to the Purple Palace, or tune in to watch the Lions play on the road. Last season, that meant a lot of heartache. So far though, this season is setting me on fire with a record of 1-1-2. After last weekend’s win on the road against the New York Red Bulls (yes, I know you already knew which win, it’s just too fun to type), I feel unlike myself. I’m typically pretty cynical, anxious, and overwhelmed, but not this week.
This is my busiest time of year, with yearbook deadlines, library inventory, state testing, and end-of-year preparations and I’m usually a ball of tears and yelling, but this week I’m just bopping along, checking things off my to-do lists.
