Swine Flu and other news.....

I am finally back and i apologize for taking such an extended sabbatical from blog posting. Since it was so long since I last posted I have many events and happenings to catch you up on!

Let's go back a couple weeks to Homecoming... For all of you who have not attended Georgetown, Homecoming weekend is a huge event in the fall where a bunch of alumni come back and there is a football game and tons of parties. Luckily my coach gave us Thursday to Sunday off from practice, which was a much needed break! I had a somewhat nontraditional Homecoming weekend, which included amazing sightseeing on Friday with Demetria and Jordan. After that we went to a Nationals baseball game (I actually find it hard to call the game that the Nationals play "baseball")... We didn't really watch the game. We just enjoyed each others company, including Tina who came down for the weekend. On Saturday I attended a community tour of DC, which was mandatory for two of my classes, put on by the Center for Social Justice. Our tour guide was Father Kemp and he knew so much about DC, so it was a very interesting and informative tour. The rest of the weekend was spent making sure Jordan had seen necessary classic movies (aka Wizard of Oz and Meet the Parents) and just hanging out with my great friends!





This last weekend my team had games on Saturday against GW and Mount St. Mary's. Two games= two wins! Yeah baby! I didn't have my best game against GW but my team supported me with enough runs to leave us on top at the end! That'a way Hoyas! And Jillian Stanley one of my best friends is on GW so that was a sweet victory to say the least. After the games on Saturday, my team had our banquet for last year's season on Sunday. It was so fun to see all the parents and to get to celebrate our inaugural Big East season! Congrats to Jen who won MVP, Kelsie who won Most Improved, and Suria, Sam, and Kelsie for being named captains for this season.




Soooooo I don't want to be all dramatic and say that I am the next victim of the swine flu but.... I am sick in bed, which is noooo fun! Ugh I hate being sick... and missing the games today! Just got a text from Demi saying that they won the first game, which is awesome! I wish I was there..... So we have a three day weekend so hopefully I feel better by tomorrow. I actually feel better already so hopefully it stays that way. Until next time!
