  HOLLA Yeah I'm not sure what's going on, but I think there's a spider that lives in my bed or something. I have had five spider bites on my left knee...that's the only place too, my left knee. You know how it is statistically thought that the average human swallows approximately seven spiders in his or her lifetime? Well I think in the past week I've probably swallowed twenty. Hey, it's free food. Maybe there's a spider family in my room.
Anyway... I've been having really weird dreams lately. Well not that many, but I had one where I was drowning and I knew I was in a dream and I was trying to wake up but I couldn't. So I was just suffocating until finally I woke up. Perhaps I have sleep apnea. One time I had a dream that my assistant coach, Nicky, was wearing this hilarious chicken suit and she was handing out chicken hats to people on our team.
That dream ruled. Sue, that's better. So tell us about the hook up! Shawna where the hell are you? School schmool. I had practice today.
Soccer is fun. I love taking two or three week breaks from soccer and doing something else like swimming b/c when you come back to soccer, you remember how much fun it is. Right now Rice is debating on whether to keep athletics or not. There are different options: 1. Totally get rid of athletics. 2.
Move us down to D-3. 3. Get rid of the football team. 4. I don't remember the other option. This is the annoying thing about Rice.
Every year--and it never fails--some asshole bitches complain about how we need to get rid of athletics b/c it wastes money and it brings down the academic level at Rice. Now I understand their frustration to a degree, and I could go on and on with arguments but I don't feel like it. It's just annoying as hell b/c no matter what we accomplish, they'll never leave us alone. Shit, the baseball team just won a national championship. The Barker twins (tennis) just won a national championship. We have people in track who are going to the olympics.
Shit, our team, in only three years of existence, managed to come within fifty-six seconds of beating a team that is frequently nationally ranked to win the conference championship, and we will certainly win it next year. We rank as some of the most academically sound student athletes in the country. We are the smallest D1 school in the country yet we consistently produce results on and off the field. And every fucking year, we still get terrorized. Whatever they decide won't affect me, or my class, but if they take away soccer or move it down to D3 for future classes, I'll be devastated. Belonging to the first class for women's soccer makes my relationship to the program really deep.
It's seriously everything to me. Christ, I haven't taken almost every recruit since freshman year and shamelessly kissed their asses for the hell of it. I want to have the best players come here so when I leave the team will be better, and not remain stagnant or get worse. Anyway, I know all the girls have put so much of themselves into our team...it would really be a shame if it was taken away, or moved down to D3. Ok enough about that... I'm starving.
I ate some pistachios but I'm still hungry. But I'm also tired and I don't feel like going anywhere. Pistachios make me gassy. I'm gonna go to bed now and get bit by some more spiders. Goodnight everyone! Oh and Heather, the older brother is cute...but his trucker hat is douchey.
