Intramurals

I joined 2 intramural teams so that I could meet people... and boy was that a good idea!

We had both a soccer and a broomball game on Sunday. It was an ugly day. It was humid and rainy.

We walked to our broomball game which was at 5. Our team name is "Freshman Fifteen". I had to turn in the form for the broomball team when it was due because I was on that side of campus and I offered to take it for Julie, however, we did not fill in a team name so the lady made me think of one on the spot!!!

I was cracking under pressure. Plus I had a ton of homework to do and I didn't want to be wasting time sitting around Goggin Ice Arena trying to think up a good broomball team... I'm sorry, but it just wasn't on the top of my list of "things to do."

I counted the number of the kids on our team... 11... I decided was close enough to 15 so I put down "Freshman Fifteen" and bolted to the library.

Luckily, Julie got a couple new recruits which added up to 15, so my team name fit perfectly for us! I guess you can say I'm a genius!

Anyways, we won the broomball game!!! So we have a winning record. It was hilarious to watch our team play, and it was even more hilarious to be playing! One of my teammates, Kristen, nailed some kid in the face mask with her broomball stick, and I got whacked in the leg with the ball (it left a bruise!)

We won because some girl illegally tripped a kid on our team when he was trying to shoot and so she had to go in the penalty box!!!

Our soccer game was also lots of fun! Our team name is "The Dobacks," and I am proud to admit that I made that one up... it comes from one of the funniest movies of all times "Stepbrothers."

Our team dominated the other team. I played full time defense... let me remind you that I am TERRIBLE at soccer. I haven't played since I was in 2nd grade, and even when I was little I used to stand there and watch people. (I believe I used to color my entire arm with dandelions) On Sunday it started raining during our game, but it was surprisingly fun playing in it!

I played defense, but at one point I got the ball and had a sweet breakaway! I even dribbled it in between some big guys who were trying to steal it back!

Needless to say, I was very impressed with myself.

For all you incoming freshman out there... join as many intramurals as possible... they're a blast (even speaking from someone with zero athleticism like me!)
