In Between

The team and coach are really pumped after our win yesterday against Shenandoah.  Even though there were times that we just did not look solid, we came out with a convincing 4 to 1 win.  Today's practice was relatively light due to our tournament this weekend in New Jersey.  We play Vassar tomorrow evening and then another team on Saturday depending on how we do against Vassar.  Today's practice personally was decent.  Nothing too special and nothing too awful.  I just hope to get some more chances and get on the field this weekend.  I just keep working my butt off.  That's all I can do.

Classes are going well.  I got an 87 on my first philosophy paper which I am some what disappointed about.  My goal is to get all A's this first semester.  The professor keeps saying that everyone should be getting A's this semesster so I'm hoping to pull that up some.  I spend a lot of my studying time on Calculus which goes really fast and it's pretty complicated.  It's not going to help that I am missing that class tomorrow for our bus ride but I'll just have to catch up sometime.  I'm just trying to stay on top of everything and not fall behind.

Now I have to pack all my stuff for the road trip tomorrow and try and get some solid sleep.  There probably won't be any blog updates for the next few days but I'll try and update it upon returning.

Peace,

Shenandoah

Yesterday we had our first mid-week game.  I had class from nine to one and then I had to head over to the field to get ready for our four pm game.  Shenandoah was coming to play and we had a full scouting meeting to go over their style of play.  We ended up winning 4 to 1 which is great to get our first team win, but I had somewhat of a bad day.  From the beginning I just felt like I couldn't really get going.  It was kind of weird.  I don't know if I was tired or what, but I just really wasn't feeling it.  I got in the first half with like 20 minutes left and played very average.  Definitely not as good as I played on Saturday and I was kind of disappointed.  In the second half the other competitor for left mid entered before me and he played well.  He scored our third goal as well.  I got in with like five minutes left in the game at attacking center mid.  I'm really going to have to battle for that second left mid spot now.  I know that I can't always compare myself to others but if I'm not better than him, then I'm not going to see as much time.  Everyone keeps saying I need to look forward so I'm just going to put that game behind me and look forward to our two more games this weekend in New Jersey.
