we played so WELL. like so well. we were expecting to get SMACKED. and we only lost 9-14 with 7 different goal scorers. defense played phenomenally. i am so proud of us! i got absolutely trucked at some point and the film is actually so funny so if i find it i will include it. my family friend came to watch me play!! and my friend from school : ) no one like comes to our games so it was really cute. also my roommates parents were cheering us on the whole time (they’re the cutest).
after the game i grabbed my chipotle and headed homesies to call my parents for a post game recap. my dad was supposed to come for this game but i told him not to and now i feel badly cause this game was fun to watch.
after the game my suitemates and i had a debrief on our floor before i started my shower and working on my homework for the night. our other teammates came over to join us and we talked about our failed/failing relationships. i finished my psychology work and debated not doing my us history assignment because it’s only 1 point off if i turned it in late. i forced myself to finish it because i am on my p’s and q’s this semester. and then i fell asleep. as i should.
Wednesday: happy v day
happy valentines day, my lovelies! i really tried to be positive about this day but oh my goodness it was so incredibly difficult. last year my boyfriend sent flowers to my assistant coaches house the night before and i got a bouquet at 6 am. this year we didn’t have practice so i mean it’s like a little gift? we had film around 7 am and then i went to breakfast and celebrated valentines day with the free chocolate the dining hall was giving out. delish.
i facetimed my parents on my way home and my dad was buying my mom fresh flowers, how sweet. he forgor about me though (not really i’m just being dramatic). when i got home i showered and got ready for class. i decided last minute to wear a pink sweater and my heart earrings, how festive.
my classical mythology class was pretty calm and i left for history pretty close to on time. during class we split for group assignments. almost everyone in my group was wearing pink or hearts of some kind, it was very cutie. our topic was on the federal reserve and the gold standard because we’re discussing the great depression.
after class i headed to the athletic support building and worked on the creative side of ken’s bars. i always leave it for sunday and it consumes my entire day because sometimes my brain is so fried that i can’t think of any good ideas. my teammates were helping me brainstorm and gave me some very sweet compliments that i will cherish for the rest of my life.
i walked home after psychology and tried to think of what i wanted for valentines day but ultimately i couldn’t think of anything so i just helped my suitemate get ready for her valentines day dinner with her boyfriend. we went through a good 6 shoe options before landing on docs. once she left i started a load of laundry that was well overdue. in my new laundry hamper! it is quite literally massive, but it’s on wheels and i produce a ridiculous amount of laundry. i only did one because i needed to make it to dinner with the freshies on time. i called date boy to give him a little life update because i have been so so so bad at texting people back. like the absolute worst. it’s kinda nice cause i’m on my phone less but it occasionally it slips my mind completely and days pass without a text back…
i made it to dinner and back in the worst wind ever. but there was such a pleasant surprise when we got back. MY SUITEMATE’S BOYFRIEND GOT US (me and my roommate) FLOWERS AGAIN! ugh : ( i actually could cry thinking about it because it is the sweetest gesture ever. what a good ending to v day.
Thursday: gustavo the sexy clown
hello no practice day part 2. today we had lift around 8 but my roommate and i have 9 ams so we scheduled lift for later in the day. we got ready for our classes together and still miraculously with no practice, were still a little bit late. it was hot and cold at the same time so i showed up to class like hot because i dressed for the cold… it was very annoying. we started a new unit in accounting and this one made sense so that’s always a bonus.
my business problem solving class got cancelled which is good and bad because i haven’t been in a hot minute… soerrr let’s just pray that i’m not too far behind. i might have to show up to office hours.
after accounting i went to lift and i was out of breath the whole time? idk what is going on? 2 days no practice and i’m already out of shape? my roommate and i ran into our soccer friend and dragged her along with us for soul food thursday. it was very mid… the cornbread was salty, greens were good, public opinion of the mac and cheese was pretty split, and no chicken? odd. we headed back to towers to chill because i didn’t have any homework due! i picked up my package from the mailroom (it has been many many weeks). NOW I CAN GET MY DIGITAL PICS OFF MY CAMERA YAY!
my suitemate really wanted canes and who am i to turn down fried food and a lil suite adventure. we took the metro and then my roommate got mildly verbally assaulted by someone who smelled like pee… but luckily we were at our stop so it wasn’t that big of a deal. union station is the only place in dc with a canes and the last time we went it was absolutely packed because it was the weekend after open. this time the line was relatively short and we got our food pretty quickly. i hate eating in food courts because everything feels greasy and it ends up making me a little nauseous, so i did not finish my food. but i bagged it up for home.
we called an uber home and it was the best decision we could’ve ever made. our uber driver was from bolivia and invited us to his birthday party next month… all expenses paid for?? hello?? so obviously we will be in attendance.
Friday: back to our regularly scheduled program
today was our first practice since monday? that’s so weird. we did a little scouting and practiced pretty good except everyone was very very sore from lift… like my hamstrings were locked up, people were grabbing at their butt like it was going to fall off. there was a lot going on.
after practice i went to breakfast and got an omelette! i haven’t had one since like beginning of first semester but it was delicious. will be ordering omelettes more often.
when i got home i picked out my outfit, showered, put on makeup, changed my entire outfit and went to the athletic support building. i spent classical mythology there and then went to history.
you guys i answered a question about inflation and the professor made everyone clap for me? hello? also y’all need to stop saying that only women ask the “why can’t we just print more money?” question because i very much responded to a man who asked that. thank you very much.
i went back to the athletic support building and worked on my resume until 3ish. while i was there i ate my trader joes harvest salad for lunch and it was… fine. i suppose. not my first choice but i finished it.
i went home and laid down and called my bestfriend when i really should’ve been studying or doing work but i’m just a girl.
we had a full suite that night, my suitemate came in to lay in my bed, the freshies came over, and 4 more of my teammates came over after dinner. i was completing work while chatting and engaging in whatever shenanigans everyone decided to cook up. also got the cutest pic on my camera. i finished my homework kinda late but still on time. everyone left around 11 and my roommate isn’t feeling well so she was easily asleep by 9:45. my suitemate helped my talk through my frustrations of moving on. i appreciate her so very much. i think i’m going to start doing one kind deed a week (like a letter and maybe a bracelet) for someone i want to extend my gratitude towards. i think that would be nice?
Saturday: when i catch that lil groundhog. we are going to have some words.
real lacrosse players have practice on saturdays. unfortunately. i walked in a category 8 blizzard (not even close… i think i’ve been away from ohio for too long) to get to practice while on the phone with my mother and father. BECAUSE IT WAS MY DAD’S BIRTHDAY! he’s turning really old so i just rounded up to 87.
attack and middies started inside with film while the -3 defenders who were there suffered outside in the cold. the weather actually was improving but still, is this not the definition of cruel and unusual punishment? it was hailing and snowing, sideways, the wind was on one, and the field was covered in ice.
practice was really good. i felt really energized afterwards. we played survivor style which is 7’s (essentially half court basketball for people who don’t know lacrosse) but if you make a mistake you’re pulled out and replaced. defense played really well for literally not having subs.
after practice my roommate and i went to breakfast and devoured the last of that food. some of the freshmen came to join us and my roommate accidentally spilled orange juice all over the floor… so that was our sign to leave.
we trotted back to our dorm in the now sunny, but still windy, weather. when we got back home i started on my laundry and offered to blow dry my teammates hair. i actually did a pretty good job for someone who only blowdries her own hair…
i was so incredibly tired while doing laundry? i think it was the rest of the week catching up to me. so i napped before i had to get ready to leave for babysitting. i managed to convince one of my teammates to come with me to watch my family friend’s son. he’s the absolute cutest thing ever. and he did SO well! i babysat him last year too and he always cried when he realized that his mom was leaving and he was stuck with some stranger for an unknown amount of time, but no tears at all this time around! we watched an entire series of the spirit rangers while coloring and talking about his adventures on the metro. he also ate some of my chipotle sides and said thank you : ( i love him. i wish i brought my camera cause he’s so precious. we got ready for bed and i helped him brush his teeth, which he was not too thrilled about. i put him to bed and struggled to stay awake for the next hour and a half. we got home around 10:45 and went straight to sleep after my night time routine.
