goings-on

This was a good weekend. No, really. I came away with a couple new bruises (nothing new there), a really nasty sunburn (due to sitting in the soccer field, in the sun, reading a book for my Lit class), and a lost voice (remedied by fruity cough drops and the eight - no, literally eight - different kinds of tea that Stephen brought to me this morning before my 9:00 class), but it was a great weekend.

Friday night I had conditioning practice with my team, which was great, and then I had the night off. I hung out with Stephen and we watched a scary movie and then I got to go to bed at a decent hour since we had two games on Saturday. 

Saturday games were good. We tied one and won one. The tied game we should have won. We were a better team than the team we played but our defense was lazy starting off. I had a couple of really good saves in that game and also a couple of really close, really frustrating misses. We killed the second team we played 11-0. Ridiculous. We played them two men down, left-handed, and made our offense play defense and vice versa. And STILL we shut them out. 

We came back and had dinner as a team and then went down to the football field to cheer on the boys' team. They're doing okay. In past seasons they've been pretty bad but they're actually doing alright now.

Sunday was church of course (Father only asked for money once yesterday - I think he's learning) and then brunch. And because it was so incredibly beautiful outside, Jenn, Stephen, and I all went down to the bleachers on the soccer field and sat there studying all day long (thus the sunburn). Then I had to work from 5-7:30 and then I watched some of a movie and took a break to go play some soccer before bed. So yeah...good weekend.

Today we FINALLY have our Spanish professor back. Apparently she's been cleared to teach her morning classes but not her afternoon ones, so I'll be having her for Phonetics but not Verbs. Ironically, the lesson she taught in Phonetics today was information that was not taught but included on the LAST exam. Grr. My friend Austin was sitting next to me shaking his head nearly the whole class. I'll admit it was pretty frustrating. 

We have our last two lacrosse games this week. We play CMU tomorrow (hopefully), which is a really big game, since if we lose we don't get to go to the playoffs. If we DO win, we're seeded first in the league. Then on Saturday we play Slippery Rock again. We'll win. Slippery Rock is really pretty bad, plus even in the off chance that we don't win, we've already played Slippery Rock and the league officials only count the first game you play against a team. 

So things are going okay around here. Last week was incredibly frustrating, but things are looking up, mostly because of the sunshine and such. 

Hopefully we'll get to do lots of outside-ish things this week. Also hopefully, I'll remember sunscreen this time. :)
