The List of My Terrible Day

The sixth day of training was depressing and literally the worst day of my life for several reasons.

For most of the day, I was Coach Hobgood's personal chaperone.

The careers watched me throughout my training period like I was fresh meat.

I almost became the dummy in many of Erica's futile attempts at knife throwing.

I got my foot caught in-between the crisscrossing ropes of climbing and dangled for over an hour until Taylor came to my rescue.

I had to explain, pretty much defend, Hanna's obsession with giraffes to a curious Capitol sponsor, who in turn called me a lunatic girl and dumped his water on me.

Destiny gave me food poisoning, slipping a medicine she concocted into my supper.

I did not come up with a single strategy during that terrible day.

At the moment, I guess I could care less. I'm just ready to sleep and get this day over with. I welcome the darkness of sleep with open arms the moment it came.
