Official Start to the School Year

I had basically this whole blog post typed up and then I hit close on the internet screen.. The whole thing was erased.  Now I have to do the whole thing all over again... #firstworldproblems

So today classes were cancelled between 12 and 3 due to the Mass of the Holy Spirit in the Basilica of the National Shrine.  I got to wake up late and write a paper and then head to Mass.  It also signified the start of the school year at CUA.  Cardinal Wuerl the Archbishop of Washington presided and it was pretty neat.  I forgot how big that church was and the organ resonated through the whole thing.  Pretty neat.

I had my first Engineering 102 class today at 3.30.  The professor started off saying the class should be a lot of fun and everyone should be getting A's... I'm a fan!  It's basically an introductory class for engineering that explores all disciplines and will help everyone decide exactly what major they want to go into.  I look forward to having that class this semester.

Practice started at 6 again today.  We did alot of shooting and attacking stuff which we do need to work on.  We need to start scoring more goals.  I played solid today and I think I am in the running for the second man at left mid.  I really hope to secure that spot.

On the way home from practice I got to catch up with Nelson which was nice.  He had his first ICS season game and they won while he scored two of their goals.  Not bad! He is captain and it will be interesting to see how the team of rag-tag soccer players can come together to be successful.  I wish him luck in the season.

Tomorrow I have three classes (two of which I dread) but I'm just looking forward to Saturday to get to see the fam for our season opener and then a four day weekend!  One more day...

10/4 over and out,
