I woke up at 8am and got ready for cheer practice. I stopped at Dunkin first and then drove me and my sister to the gym. We practiced until 11am. Practice was good, we are finally making progress and preparing for our first competition. Then we went straight from cheer to Wawa for lunch. I got a chicken caesar wrap and an energy drink. I took us straight to work where I was at until 10:30pm. It was a long day but very productive. I made money and was a hard worker. My legs ached. It was easy...
