It was another great week... besides the fact that I took the hardest test I have ever taken in my college career. As a Chemistry major, I have taken my fair share of difficult exams. However, I have never felt so unsure of every single question on an exam as I was on my Physical Chemistry exam this past week. Other than that though I had an amazing week! I went to my normal classes, practices, and research per usual but there were a few fun twists.


We had a midweek game away at Gardner Webb University this past Wednesday. Luckily, we were able to fit the game in before lightening got too close. Even more exciting was that we won the game 2-0 against two of my old teammates who I had played with since I was 5 years old. I loved seeing them because we will always be like sisters, but as siblings know there are always rivalries. The picture on the right is of them and I after the game. Winning was great, not only for me, but our center back grew up across the street from the University. Her parents work there as well, so winning was exciting for her too. We even got to celebrate her birthday after the game with some delicious key lime flavored cake. (don't knock it till you try it it was super yummy)

The weekend brought even more excitement, as it was family weekend and we had a bunch of family and alumni come to campus to hang out and watch our first conference home game on Saturday. Joaquin was nice enough to not get out game cancelled. It was also our breast cancer awareness game, so we sported our pink jerseys to honor all of those who have fought, are currently fighting, or have lost their battle to cancer. It is always a little emotional for me because my grandfather died of cancer, and my cousin just recently defeated cancer after a long hard fight. It was great to be able to play in their honor, and win the game 2-0. Then all of our family, friends, and alumni gathered with us after the game to enjoy a delicious dinner together. It was a memorable night for sure. I have another crazy week coming up, so be sure to check out my blog again next week!
