Fall Break

Hello.

I was just sitting in my room enjoying a little but of Monday Night Football when I decided that I could procrastinate on my homework a little longer and write another blog. I have a paper due tomorrow and a worksheet that is also due tomorrow that I am avoiding like the plague for as long as I can so I thought I'd fill you in on what's new and exciting in my life.

Well....not a whole lot is new with me actually... I can't remember if I talked about the Edgewood soccer game in my last blog; if I did bear with me, if I didn't- here you go. (: We played Edgewood University last week Tuesday and we won 2-1 in overtime. It was a good game, both teams close in the conference standings, and we were trailing 1-0 for majority of the game. With about 1 minute left in the 2nd half I played a corner kick in and Jeremy Hardy headed it past the keeper to tie the game up at 1-1. Heading into overtime all the momentum was on our side and with about 2 minutes left in the 10 minute overtime period, I cut past a defender and played a shot into the bottom right hand corner from about 20 yards out. I'm not sure how many of you are "up-to-date" with your hip-hop songs and dances, but if you are familiar with the song "Teach me how to Dougie" then you'll understand the dance I did for my celebration. It was a lot of fun.

We play again this Wednesday against Marian University...should be another good game. We are currently sitting in 5th place in the conference standings, good enough for a spot in the conference tourney, but Marian isn't far behind us. A win will almost guarantee us a place in the conference tourney so we need this game badly. Also, with my recent outbreak of goals I moved into 7th place in Lakeland College's Career goals list, with 14.

You are probably sick of reading about soccer so let's see if I can mix it up a little bit for you... Fall Break is coming up. For those of you who are unaware, Fall Break is a short break (Thursday-Sunday) during October to give us a small time away from classes before Thanksgiving break at the end of November. It is a much needed break for me and I'm sure for many other students on campus. I plan on doing a whole lot of nothing over break; sleeping and catching up on some homework. Throw in a few soccer practices in there, but that's nothing out of the ordinary.

Well, I think that's about all I have for you tonight. I'm considering getting back to my paper since I've noticed it isn't going to write itself... Hope to have good news for you come Wednesday night!!
