Convincing Win

Tuesday flew by.  Only one class (a long lab) and practice.  I got a lab back from last week and did worse than I thought I had done.  My TA graded much harder than all the other TA's as well which I don't know how to confront the situation.  Especially since I've done all these labs before in high school, this lab should be very easy and an easy A for me.  It's disappointing.  

On to Wednesday.  I got a solid nap in between my classes and our game vs. Marymount.  Always good to get extra rest.  We left school around 5pm to play Marymount in nearby Arlington, VA.  Due to traffic it took like an hour to get there when it only took like 20 minutes to get back without any traffic.  Anyway we played in some park off-campus from Marymount with a nice turf field.  I started right mid, which is different from my usual spot of left mid.  It took some getting used to, but its not all that different.  I played solid and I was pleased.  We ended up scoring three goals in the last five minutes of the first half which really just put the momentum in our hands.  We ended up winning the game 6-0 and convincing and confidence-boosting win.  We now turn our attention to a big game this saturday vs. #16 Susquehanna.  Home game, family is coming, I'm looking forward to it.  

I keep sending mom things to add to her list to bring me.  It's so nice that she spends the time to bring all this stuff up for me.  It's really convenient that I don't have to go shopping in the city; it just shows up whenever mom comes to visit!  Tomorrow Mom, Dad, and Nelson come up to the city.  It will be nice to spend some time with them this weekend.  

Today is just another daily grind, but always looking to improve.
