circus clowns or soccer players?

Today is Saturday. We are leaving for a retreat up to a cabin Bear Lake in a few hours, USU owns a cabin up there for awesome people like us to use to bond! So just an update from yesterday, we didnt end up having our afternoon practice because we worked really hard in the morning practice- it was way nice to have some extra time to somewhat recover. Also, last night we went to the rodeo as a team! We were all excited that our second practice got canceled so we could all go have showers and get all dolled up for the rodeo! (of course it didnt make any difference to me, I wasnt planning on dressing up, doing my hair, or wearing any makeup) So most of the girls got all cute and presentable for the rodeo...right about when we were supposed to be leaving the rest of the team came to our dorm and gathered all the freshmen into one room and told us that as is tradition the seniors bought the freshmen a present and we had to go in twos up to the third floor to get them....so Shantel and Marissa went first and soon after I went with Britt-- and to our dismay it was NOT the type of presents we wanted. They had aweful outfits/costumes for us to wear and they did our hair all CRAZY with ugly makeup. Let's just say that when I was done everyone said I looked like the joker. So we all had to go to the rodeo looking like rodeo clowns! We even had some people ask us if we were working the rodeo!! It was the ultimate freshman initiation and humilation, at least there were 10 of us doing it together. I just felt bad for the girls that spent all day picking out their outfit and flat-ironing their hair and fixing their makeup. haha

So back to the present...today we had our 5 v. 5 tournament. My team was actually really good! We got second place to the undefeated team, which was pretty good! And it was for conditioning! bleh. The winners had to do two 120's, second place had to do three 120's, third place had to do four 120's, and last place had to do five 120's. When we all finished and were about to fall over dead our coach pulled a fast one on us and told us we had to do another one if we didnt make any of our times, so it was on our honor, which is pretty much like a guilt trip-so as a team we did one more 120. It sucked, but we've gotta push ourselves if we're going to get this WAC title this year! Anyway, so that's how camp is going so far.. OH YA! So after our practice we went to dip in the whirlpool to help revive our legs, and afterwards when we were driving back (Lexi was driving) The stupid football players shot us with a paintball! They hit Mugs and got all over her back and the inside of Lexi's car! We were not very happy about their obnoxious way of flirting with the new freshmen, but lucky for THEM it all came out of lexi's seats (beacause if it didnt, they would be regretting that) Well that's it for now! Soccer rocks. Go Aggies!

Chan,

Nice to be able to keep up on your soccer/college life. I am a little concerned however about your frequent comments about the boys up there. And yes, even though I now live in Canada, any boy who wants to take you on a date still needs to be screened by me.
