Blog Five: Four Days!

February 27, 2010

Four days! That’s all that’s left until we meet Manhattanville at SUNY Purchase.  To be cliché, “it’s coming down to the wire.”  Words will never describe what this feels like.  It’s like a melting pot of emotion—there’s a lot of anticipation, plenty of enthusiasm, some wonder, and a dash of courage.

Over the weekend, I was feeling a bit homesick.  After stocking up on Lactaid milk and laundry detergent at Stop-n-Shop, Kassy and I got busy cooking for the night.  I treated her, Callie, and Jackee to one of my favorite foods—cheesesteak.  Meanwhile, Kassy made some amazing chocolate-chip cookies from scratch.  The home-cooked food definitely filled a little void and put me at ease. 

Thursday’s classes past 1 p.m. and all of Friday’s classes were canceled.  Of course, both times would be when I don’t have class!  Although I really love snow, it’s slowly becoming a pest.  With it, our outside practices transform into fitness room cardio workouts and gym stick skill sessions.  While it’s great to emphasize the basics of lacrosse, practices like this mirror the beginning of pre-season.  Everyone’s eager to make passes in the midfield and take free position shots. 

Whether it's outside on the field or in the gym, I’m sure we’re going to have some intense practices over the next few days in order to prep for our first ever game on March 3.
