All I need for tomorrow at 8 AM. And my brain, of course.

Man oh man I hope my brain cooperates with my exam tomorrow.

Election Day 2008
This is a pretty big day if you’re an American.. and I’m kind of upset that after years of seeing my self vote on this day, I didn’t get to. Although I’m 18 and of legal age, I started my voter registration a little late than expected.. causing my whole process to be postponed. In the end, my absentee ballot didn’t show up in the mail in time, but that’s ok, it’s the thought that counts right? No. O well. Four years from now I will definitely be voting.
Winthrop closed for the day in honor of election day. A day without classes was quite nice. I had weight training at 11, followed by practice from twelve to two. I came back to my dorm after eating some lunch and literally passed out. I thoroughly enjoyed my day off though. I felt that I was very patriotic in my actions… not so much. But hey, since I did take a two hour nap today, that means that I will be up very late tonight, that’s just the way my body works. Since I’ll be up, I’ll get to watch all of the election results flow in, it’s going to be an exciting night.
Tomorrow night will be even more exciting— don’t get me wrong, the election of our new president is very important— but the regular season conference championship is on the line against Coastal Carolina tomorrow at 7 P.M. Because Coastal doesn’t have a press box, there is no where to film the game from an elevated spot. My coach told me that I don’t get to go with team. Luckily though, Winthrop has a fan bus going to the game, so all of us that are injured or redshirted on the team are going on that bus, all expenses paid, to go see the game. It’s going to be a good one.. but realistically speaking, it’s not as important of a game as it sounds. Winning tomorrow will give us the regular season championship crown and another gold banner around our stadium that says, “2008 Big South Conference Regular Season Champions.” This title also would give us the #1 seed in the conference tournament, but that’s only half the battle. To get to the “real” big dance, we have to win the conference tournament, giving us a bid to the NCAA tournament. Although I will be excited to watch this game tomorrow, I will be even more excited this time next week, when we start our run for a conference tournament championship, a bid to to the NCAA tournament, and two more gold banners around our stadium.
Recovery
I’m on the road to recovery, and its going to be a long two or so months. I still have to sleep in this huge boot, and the pain medicine doesn’t really have a nice effect. It’s supposed to take the pain away and make you really drowsy… but it just makes me really loopy and dizzy. I’ll stick to three advils every four hours. Sleeping has been tough the past two nights in the hotel but I’m back in my dorm room tonight. I’m praying for a good night’s sleep because I have a pretty busy day lined up tomorrow.
We finally start our season tomorrow night at the University of South Carolina, I’m so excited for that. Although I don’t get to play, I still get to experience it just like all my other teammates. This is probably the only away game that I’ll get to travel with the team this season because I’m a medical redshirt, so I will definitely enjoy myself. Our team has looked pretty good our last two weeks of preseason. South Carolina will definitely be a good test to see how prepared we are. Hopefully we can pull out a good result and then shift our minds towards hosting Clemson on the 24th.
Meanwhile, it’s pretty lonely up here at Winthrop with only the men’s and women’s soccer teams, the volleyball team, and the random RA’s on campus. I’m looking forward to move-in day sometime next week. The second floor of our dorm consists of my roommate and me, and our RA.. it’s rather quiet for a college dorm floor. I’m sure that will change for the worst soon enough.
