So forgot to mention, last weekend was our state Ultimate tournament.
I missed the first half of our first day and our first three games due to SAT testing, so I wasn't nearly as wiped as some of the other girls. This is only the second year we've had a girls team, and our numbers are low - so low, that between me and the four other girls who couldn't be there from the beginning, our team only had one sub! So props to all of them for not dying. Also, no surprise, we lost all our games that day.
The second day we had way more people, but it was so much hotter. No breeze at all. We managed to win one (of two) games that day, so yay, not last! That's about how well we did last year too, and considering we have significantly less people on our team compared to most of the other girls teams (meaning less subs), I think we did okay.
We got to watch the open teams' final championship game after we were all done, and it was amazing. Those guys throw super far, make the sickest catches, and can run the entire field length in no time at all. Most of them played nearly the entire game, and yet they still were so fast. Also: one guy's arm was popped out of his socket and he was back on the field two points later. Seriously, it's such a fun sport to watch when the teams are that good.
Um, other news? We're almost done with school. THANK THE LORD. The first two days of this week were especially god-awful as well, because there's no air conditioning in the classrooms in the building, and it was at least 100 degress F on Tuesday.
Graduation's tonight. I actually hate graduation with a passion. We (the band) have to be there to play Pomp and Circumstance on repeat for honest-to-god, I kid you not, at least 30 minutes. Probably more, I just don't want to get overzealous in my estimate. (Don't worry, I'll count tonight). The tuba part of that piece has no rest after the first four measures. We play some other stuff too, listen to some amazingly boring speeches, and then have to sit while the ENTIRE senior class is handed their diplomas, just so we can play the Recessional at the end. There's over 500 of them!
On a happier note, I finished Driving Lessons today! I love Rupert Grint, he's adorable.
