This morning I woke up in a ton of pain. It wasn’t a
surprise because I have been hurting really bad. But today I had to push
through it because it was the family beach day thing. I slept the whole way
there and really didn’t want to go. When we got there I still wanted to go
home. But I started hanging out with my friends and things started to get
better. There was one specific friend that I really connect with. And the whole
day was ok when I was hanging out with her and my other friends. The best part
of the day was that I won the best-dressed contest. I also got second place in
a watermelon-eating contest. I ended up doing sooooooo much and now I’m in even
more pain. After the fun though I still feel terrible. But remember your
friends make everything better.
