I am on the JV soccer team, and have become really close with all of the girls on the team. We have this thing where we say "JV problems" because we also seem to get into the strangest of situations, and have the strangest of problems. Yesterday, our last game, was no exception to this common occurrence. In fact, since it was our last game, just our luck, our problems were the strangest they have ever been.
It all started when we arrived in Mandeville (an hour and a half away from home) and the girls restroom was very, very crowded. We all had to use the bathroom badly, so we were forced to go in the men's bathroom. This was our JV problem #1.
Next, my teammate Julia forgot her fleece on the bus, and she was very cold. So me and 2 of my other friends agreed to go with her to get it. Julia asked our coach for the key to the bus, and she gave her a keychain with about 7 different keys on it. About halfway back to the bus (a long walk), we realized that our coach did not tell Julia which key it was that opened the bus. JV problem #2.
So we arrive at the bus, already having decided that we were just going to have to try every key until we found one that worked. Little did we know, there were not one but two locks we had to get through. JV problem #3.
After finding the key for the first lock, we are attempting to open the second one. The bus number was 38D, and we found a key labeled 38D, so naturally we figured that it was the winner. After trying that key every which way, upside down, inside out, for 10 minutes, we decided to try the others. No luck. We try the original key for about 10 more minutes, and finally just gave up. JV problem #4.
Right when we were about to give up for good, my friend Lauren remembered that she left her window open. So we walk around to the window, and decide to form a cheer-squad type formation and lift Lauren (the smallest) up through the window. After much struggling, we finally get her enough into the window to where we can let go of her feet and she will not fall. Just when we think she is through and all of our problems are solved... her feet get stuck. Yes, she gets stuck in the window. JV problem #5.
After she gets unstuck, we get the jacket, and we get the bus all locked up again, we return to the field. Everything is good to go now, but since we have to wait until the varsity game is over before we can play, we all start to get a little hungry. The parents had supplied us with snacks-galore, so we ask our coaches where they put all of the snacks. They reply with, "They're on the bus." J.V. PROBLEMS.
