Woohoo, we won our soccer/football game today 6-0 and we’re back into second place; albeit it’s a two-way tie for second place. We had pretty much our full team except for two regulars (captain and another D) but we did have a guest “star” striker who normally doesn’t play with us (he’s the boyfriend of one our female players). Mark scored three goals for us in amazing fashion.
I played mid-field again and fared pretty well I think, finished with one assist and three shots on goal. I even got a breakaway but fudged up; deked the goalie out but my shot was pretty weak (out of breath from running down the ball) so it was blocked by a trailing defender. DAMN! Next time… next time!! I accidently took out a guy who was trying to get by me… I ended up kneeing him in the groin. I felt pretty bad about that… but it was purely accidental contact. I swear!
Going to be a long night because I have a presentation tomorrow… lab meeting AGAIN. Oh well, my students have been working hard so there’s plenty of good data to present. Thanks Hayley and Rene, great job!
H, if you can only see me now and how a changed person I’ve become… meh, the past is the past I suppose. Time to move on.
EDIT: But it’s been very difficult to move on… especially when everything reminds me of her. I wish none of this was happening… or that it’s just one big bad dream… or that she will have a change of heart and come back. But frankly, I don’t think any of these three wishes will become a reality.
