It was another great week! I had all my normal classes, research, and practices and all seemed to go smoothly. Wednesday was jam packed with lots of exciting activities. It started with a physics exam at 7:50am that I think went really well, but I won't find out for sure until tomorrow morning. Wish me luck! Then I went to all my classes, and finally our home game against Coastal Carolina. It was a hard fought game that ended in a 0-0 tie after two overtimes. Similar to the game against Gardner Webb, I got to see one of my old teammates who I had played with since I was 5 years old. It was great to catch up with her after the game and have a few laughs. We also made the joint decision that our old team has to get together over winter break to catch up. That will for sure be a fun time! The men's soccer team played after us too, so we all stayed to watch and cheer them on for a while. Overall it was a great hump day!

Thursday and Friday were just normal days of classes, except on Friday night we all went as a team to do community service helping out 3 and 4 year old local kids learn to play soccer for the first time. It was an amazing experience! They were all so excited yet scared at the same time. It really brought me back to my childhood. It is hard to believe that I was once that little playing on my team named the Red Lobsters. I will be going back for sure to help those adorable kids any chance I get!

Saturday we had an away game at Liberty University. It was a chilly, but beautiful day for soccer. We unfortunately lost the game 1-0, but the team fought hard and played well overall. Now it is officially the last busy week before fall break, and I am confident we can bounce back on Wednesday against a tough UNC Asheville team.

Speaking of fall break, on a completely new note, fall is my favorite time of the year with the temperatures fit for comfy sweaters, the leaves changing colors, and the pumpkin carving for halloween. I can't wait till break so I can carve a pumpkin, go hiking, and maybe go to the haunted trail again for some fun. Don't worry I'll be sure to tell you all about that fun stuff! (maybe even with some funny pictures to match)
