football.

it is homecoming week, each day with some new event going on. last night was the homecoming banquet dinner and dance. tomorrow is the ground breaking for the new women's dorm, and mr. panther. friday is "gc fest." saturday is the panther 5k run/walk (this year titled run with a purpose), and of course the big football game. it is also parent's weekend, so i'm sure that there's stuff going on with that. today however was the powder puff game. last year it was juniors v seniors, but this year everyone played. i had, of course, signed up to play on the seniors team, and it was a tough day. we played the freshman first and that was actually pretty fun. we crushed them. the second game was the sophomores v juniors. it was a pretty good game. good but rough. really rough, and that sent the tone for the next game. now mind you this is flag football. in overtime the juniors won, which made for an interesting match up of juniors v seniors, just as it should be. like i said already, but this point it had gotten really rough. we ended up losing the game, but i think that we were the better team, and overall had better attitudes about the game. there were a couple of girls from the other team who were so over the top with stuff that it wasn't even funny. one of our girls shorts almost got ripped off while this other girl was "grabbing for the flags." my friend, who almost got her shorts ripped off, is an army staff sergeant in the army reserves, and has spent a year in iraq, and this other girl was lucky that she knows how to keep her temper, because what she really wanted to do was hit this girl. really great community building things going on here at our christian institution. my body is now sore and i did something to my left elbow so now it's bothering me. that was my final experience in playing powder puff football. i don't get why people can't just play for fun, because in all honesty, it wasn't that much fun playing the juniors, and some of them have made impressions on me that will last for a long time.

footballed out.
