The End of a Hiatus

I skirted my responsibility at the start of summer to write my blog, and I really wanted to get back on track this whole time. There probably wasn't a better time to do this than now, so I figure, why not now? Here are a few good reasons:

1. It's four in the morning.
2. I have classes starting at 9:30 tomorrow.
3. It's four in the morning.

The reason I'm up at this hour is because ofxams. Fortunately, my midterms are over, however, only recently. They ended up turning me nocturnal, somewhat.

Alright, so here's the extremely truncated lowdown of the summer:

1. The St. James Hurricanes avoided relegation. Barely. I played in every position at different parts of the season, and ended up being most effective as a sweeper. Now, you may be making a strange face at your monitor at this point, but apparently, it worked. We were in a HUGE relegation scrap near the end of the season, and ended up winning out last game to stay up.
2. I forgot what happened to my co-ed teams.

The new season has started up, and I'm playing on three teams at the Coverall and four with WRL. A mens team is in the brewery, so to speak, and I'm not sure what's going to happen with that.

Two of the Coverall teams are with Team Gigantic. We had one team play Saturday (twice), and another play Monday. We creamed and then were creamed on Saturday - We played a D side then a B side. I scored a hattrick in the 7-2 win. Apparently, my finishing is better. All three were breakaways thanks to good passing, good footwork, or a combination of the two. I felt somewhat tired in spite of trying to keep my fitness levels up over the break. In the second game, our pulverization was partially due to our fatigue, and partially the fact that they shut our counterattack system down wholly and completely. It doesn't help that we're a one-trick pony kind of team.

Yesterday, we played friendly rivals "Superfriends". We opened the scoring with two goals, but then got smarted pretty well by a 4-goal bounce back before half. No goals were scored in the second half. We played much better at that point. I almost bicycle kicked a ball goalwards, but I had enough time to not do it, because the ref was singling me out pretty well today. I asked him later, and he said it would have been alright to do it, had nobody been near and been kicked in the face. Next time, I suppose.

Tuesday (today..?) I played three games at work, and thus, I'm pretty bagged.Three games, three loses: 7-4 (The Soccer Team), 3-2 (Wannabees), 6-1 (Off in the woods). I scored two, a tap in for the Soccer Team, and a Messi-esque run through literally an entire team, to cap it with a shelved left-footer. It was brilliant, and that's me being modest.

I suppose it's bedtime. And don't worry, more in-depth summaries are coming next post - I had to catch up, first.

Tomorrow, it's tuxedo time.
