ROWING DRAMA DOESNT END AND I GRADUATED R U JOKING I WANNA THROW UP THIS ISNT FAIR I AM VERY GOOD AND IT HURTS ME DEEPLY THAT NO ONE INVITED ME TO ROW AT OUR HOME REGATTA AND I AM SO SO BITTER ABOUT IT // obviously I'm taking the time to visit school that weekend if I can find someplace to stay because of Reasons and I'm a bitter asshole // but like I will not actually go to the race because I can make brag decision // yes I do still want to hang out with everyone drunk but like Y DID EVERYONE HATE ME WTF DID I DO

[thesaurus]

@ fellow rowers/humans/whatever-

my rib cartilage is torn, so I am LEGIT HURT AND WASN’T SUPPOSED TO ROW ONCE I HURT IT OOPS

ha 6 weeks more of no rowing 

but like IMAGINE IF I WEREN’T HURT THIS SEASON U KNOW ??

[thesaurus]

when boy rowers are shocked I'm on the women's team I'm usually

*flattered* because I take it to mean that I'm cute and I don't look cute @ practice, or whatever, and it's nice to know that I have an outside-of-rowing identity

but also

I'M IN THE FUCKING VARSITY BOAT

I AM WICKED FAST

HOW DO YOU NOT KNOW WHO I AM? LITERALLY THERE ARE 80 OF US ALL TOGETHER IN THE BOATHOUSE. THIS IS OBSCENE. I CAN NAME MOST OF YOUR CLASS. 

[thesaurus]

I just want to live in a world where I can wear my Henley blazer more often, ya feel?

IT FITS ME BEAUTIFULLY AND OUR CREST LOOKS CLUTCH AND UGH

matching it to cute cocktail dresses, tho? eh? 

[thesaurus]

IN WHICH THE DIVISION I TRANSFER GIRL IS WOW-ED BY THE FACT THAT THE COXSWAIN WON'T HOLD HER WATER BOTTLE

OR BY THE FACT THAT WE HAVE POST-ROWS

LIKE WOW WE TAKE THIS SHIT SERIOUSLY, OKAY, AND THE COXSWAIN DOESN'T HAVE TO CARRY ANY OF YOUR SHIT, OKAY. LIKE WOW STOP. 

[thesaurus]

nothing quite like the thrill of starting off my season going AS SLOW AS I WAS FRESHMAN YEAR

YA KNOW

BECAUSE LIKE

WOW GOOD JOB

(I'll be here crying and remembering when I was young and fast) 

[thesaurus]

tomorrow it's supposed to be cold and wonderful

and 

CITY

AND BOATS

and yes I'm waking up before 7 am

but the sky up there is clear
