I keep meaning to, but then I get too busy. I’ve had no available time at all recently. Soccer try- outs have been keeping me pretty busy. I’ve had no time to do anything except practice, practice, practice all day long. The weather is a little rainy and it keeps the grass wet. That makes it very di#cult to run and stop well. A lot of the players get their soccer boots stuck in the mud. I’d really like to get another pair of soccer boots because mine are ruined from the mud, but I don’t have any money at the moment. I wanted to get a part-time job to make some money to buy boots, but I don’t have the time. So for now, a new pair of boots is just a dream. I think I have a good chance of being selected for the team. They need to get rid of two more players, and I think that I am better than they are. You know how badly I have always wanted to play professional soccer. If I get chosen for the team, I’ll send you free tickets to every game I play! Well, gotta go practice some more.
