Yesterday was a packed day. Freshman Convocation was in the morning which got us out of class from 9 to 11. It was quite boring to be honest, but I guess everyone has to do it. After that I had Calculus class from 12 to 1 and then we left on the bus to head to Mary Washington at 1:30. I'm just glad I didn't have to miss Calc class again. I was running from my dorm with my boxed lunch and soccer gear to get to the bus on time in khaki pants and polo. At least I didn't get left behind.
Mary Washington has a pretty nice campus. It reminded me a lot of CNU with the similar building style and nice organization. Their fields were Bermuda grass and very nice as well.
Game time was at 5 pm. To say the least, we came out very, very slow. We seemed to just be getting out worked to everything. I got in with about 23 minutes in the half and made a good run down the sideline and had a nice meg on the defender and a cross but the forward hit the post. I feel like that could've changed the game a lot. Instead we entered half time down 2-0. The second half was no better and it seemed like we were just chasing the ball around while they passed around us. It was pitiful. The game ended 3-0. We were supposed to win that game, but it made us realize that we can't just show up and win.
Messiah beat UMW 4-1 recently and now we play Messiah on Saturday. We're really going to have to rally for that game. It will be interesting to see what happens.
Today I have Calc class followed by an Engineering lab and then practice. I'll be ready for this week to be over and hopefully school work will ease up a bit. I'm also excited to see Mom who flies in tomorrow for a weekend visit and the game against Messiah. I also hope Nelson has a good time on his last middle school retreat!
Now I have to go write some English paper.. What a blast!
For now,
