sad night

Tonight is a sad night.

Sporting Pi Kapp's season, once filled with great promise, came crashing down tonight. We lost our first round intramural soccer game to The Bombsquad, 3-2.

I'm truly disappointed about the result. I grew very attached to this team throughout the season because our games gave me something to look forward to at the end of every long, hard week.

Intramural soccer was my "carrot" to look forward to throughout this quarter. 

Academics can be overwhelming. Me being the space cadet that I am, I can become especially overwhelmed at times. And there was just something about the way this quarter started too... It's probably related to the Forbidden Trip to the Sugar Bowl that I took (parents still don't know I went). That, along with the horrible car crash I witnessed on an Alabama highway. It was really, like, the worst start to a marking period you could imagine actually. But I always had Friday night and intramural soccer to look forward to.

There were many light-hearted moments and that list of moments begins and ends with goals. I can honestly say that I made the most of the chances I took during the season and I scored a couple marvelous goals. I tried to, as the Brazilians say, "play with joy in my heart." I think that by scoring some nice goals and enjoying the hell out of my goal celebrations, I brought the joy. 


Best of all was that the team won.

Sporting Pi Kapp finished the regular season with a 2-0-2 record. I guess our final record would stand at 2-1-2. But we went undefeated in our group and even though we only finished in second place in the group, we emerged with the higher seed of the team that was ahead of us. We ended up being No. 3-seed in the playoffs... the team that won our group was 8 or 9 seed. Something dumb. We really killed it though.

Intramural soccer was a perfect diversion for me this quarter.

I just took a one hour+ break to play FIFA, my new diversion. I'll need to resume this stream of consciousness later.
