"Anything smaller?"

In recent weeks, football has been quite stagnant in regards to material I can throw on here. There have been wins, there have been losses, and there hasn't been much else to speak of.

I've been getting quite fatigued lately, so right now I'm in the middle of a self-imposed break that should last until Saturday, with two more games being missed.

The importance of this break should also be evaluated on Saturday, when the University has their tryout.

I'm stressing pretty bad about the tryout, so in a game last night, I played quite hard to prove my worth to myself - and fortunately, it showed with a two goal haul, a few assists, and a few runs through three people. It took a load off my mind that I had the ability to do these things, and the two goals were quite nice too - the first was a full turn and shoot from a tight angle that received hatfuls of praise from my peers, and the second was a volley off my left foot that I couldn't see until it trickled behind the keeper off the post then his back. I came close at other times, but my style in that game was to score from close range, and often the front of the net was packed. It didn't help that I was playing mid, there was a lot of running to do.

We'll just have to wait on this stiff knee to see what's going on for the weekend - I'm hoping I can be fit and ready to go.
