So the weather has been really bipolar here lately, as I'm sure those who live in SLO know. We've gone from hot, summery, sunshine days to cold, overcast, foggy, rainy days within 24 hours at least a few times by now. It's been slowly becoming colder and colder and last night was surely the COLDEST.
My brother, Troy, played his last senior varsity football game last night....in the raining, freezing, windy weather. If the wind was just a few degrees colder, I'll bet it would have hailed! The plan was to meet at the field at 530 and the game started at 615ish. Well, somehow I got the information wrong and was standing out in the cold for 45 minutes before my family showed up. By the way, it was only sprinkling in San Luis, the game was in Nipomo and it was POURING rain. By the time my family arrived, my shoes were soaking wet and I was losing feeling in my feet.
Since it was the last game for the seniors, its traditional for the family to walk out on the field with the senior while the announcer says a few good words about the player. Ha, it was crazy walking out there, and the football team is HUGE so we were standing out in the middle of muddy football field in the rainy weather. By then my feet felt like blocks of ice. Really.
The game was fantastic! Seriously one of the best games I've seen them play, especially against our biggest rivalry, AG Eagles. Lets just say, my throat kindof hurts this morning from all the cheering and shouting I was doing, but man...I was so proud of Troy! I'm happy I was finally able to make it to his game, it's been a rough semester with two jobs and full time school, but I wouldn't have missed it for the world. And I gotta hand it to the players for being such good sports out there in the rain...it was literally pouring like this \\\\\, on a complete diagonal. We won 12- 0. BOOya! It wasn't until 3 hours later that I finally got feeling back in my feet, to be completely honest I thought I was gonna lose a toe or something if I didn't keep moving my feet around...ha but I didn't want to miss a play. Happy I didn't lose any toes.
On a side note, the semester is quickly coming to an end thankfully. I'm getting though tests, reviews and projects that are on the bottom of my syllabuses which is inspiring....at the bottom, yes! I feel like this semester has been hard, almost too hard but for many reasons other than just being academically challenged. It's weird because it can easily become overwhelming if one thing is thrown off (among all the things that I am juggling). I've never been through such a crazy time and I feel good about coming out at the end of this with flying colors. I just hope its all worth it in the end, but I know that this will be the last semester I have set up like this.... haha never again.
