So last weekend was fall break, and luckily I got the opportunity to spend it back home in C-town.

It was wonderful to relax and sit around watching the Buckeyes and Browns with the ‘rents. 

This past week back however, was not an easy transition. I had a huge behavioral neuroscience test Friday and since I (of course) got 0 work accomplished at home, I had to make up for THAT in addition to having a big game vs. Earlham (which we won 3-1) and multiple practices.  Just yet another friendly lesson on time management.  

Friday we traveled to Allegheny (for our Saturday game) and had quite a chaotic roadtrip.  Leaving at 3:30 we figured we would reach Meadville in plenty of time, but weather and our bus driver proved us otherwise.  After we stopped at our coach’s favorite Mexican restaurant at the point of near starvation, things got ugly.  We overshot our hotel and our bus driver took it upon himself to try and turn around in muddy wet grass. Needless to say we got stuck in the mud, 5 minutes away from our hotel.  The 2 parents that were already in Meadville had to transport us from the bus to our hotel at 11:30pm.  Finally we all got to the hotel, and we were in bed by midnight. Yes. Our fantastic roadtrip. We battled through adversity (and the mud) on Sautrday and pulled out of Allegheny with a tie which was enough to secure us a place in the playoffs.

Other than that, I am trying desperately to push aside the fact that Wednesday is our last regular game of the season, of my (and 5 others) senior season.  Yeah definitely not going down that road. 

Well thats all for now. Tiger up.

So, homecoming weekend came and went (A sure sign that this year is going way too fast).

The weekend was a success, although I think I had too many expectations on what it would entail exactly.  Our house was quickly transformed into a small hotel for alumni and that actually turned out to be quite fun.  It was nice to see and spend time with the soccer alumni who graduated both last year and when I was a freshman because some of them I have not seen in a small decade.  Once they got back however, it felt like they had never left and I found myself wondering how I will feel on my first homecoming experience.  Anyways, arriving home Saturday night was extremely humorous as our number of alumni tenants had basically tripled and seemed to include some that neither I nor my housemates had ever seen in our lives.

Saturday was also a bittersweet day… the soccer team beat Hiram 2-0 and it was also senior night for myself and the other 5 seniors.  It was an out of body experience to walk across the field with my parents because I honestly still do not feel like it is my senior year of college.  Clearly I’m still in denial and will remain here for quite a long time.  All in all, it was a very nice weekend. Got to spend time my family as well as my friends: old and new.

We have a big game on Wednesday against Kenyon, and then on Saturday we travel to Oberlin where I will depart thereafter for good old Solon, Ohio.  I am very excited to go home.  Little changes of scenery here and there make returning to Wittenberg even more refreshing.  That is all for now
