End of a year

I'm an hour and a half away from my last final for my junior year (not including one other big paper that I have yet to finish). I know I haven't posted anything in a while, so I'll fill you in on what's been happening in my life...

This last weekend was regionals, which was a huge disappointment as always. It was 90 degrees and sunny on Saturday, which usually means big trouble. We won our first two games and then lost to Pitt in the semis.. but the heat, combined with the fact that I was drinking water primarily (instead of gatorade, which replenishes bodily salts) gave me severe cramps. It was awful - it seemed like every possible muscle on both legs took turns cramping up. Eventually I was taken to the medical center at Princeton, where they stuck IV fluids in me. Yikes. I ended up having to take an exam the next morning (on a Sunday - fucked up, I know), and en route to Princeton I learned that we had lost our first game - meaning my season was over without me having any say in it. And so ended eight months of hard work.

Anyways, I'm soon to be a senior. Got elected captain of the Ultimate team here at Penn for next year, so I'm super excited for that. Major pwnage to be had all over the place. It's weird, I feel like I've gotten so much better at Ultimate while in college - I feel like I had no idea what I was doing out on the field for most of high school, until fall of senior year. Then my game really took off here in college, when I was put in a handler position.

I have a girlfriend, her name's Evan. We actually met at a party only a week into the spring semester (and no, it didn't begin as just some sketchy hookup). Since I'll be coming home in a few days, I'll definitely be disappointed to not see her for a while. But I would love for some of you guys to meet her eventually.

As for summer plans, I come home in a few days (like I just wrote), and I'll be studying for my MCAT for over a month. I take that exam in mid-June, and then I'm headed out to Spain for a summer-abroad program! From there I think I will be flying straight to Korea for a few weeks, and I'll be back in Eugene (at least for a few days) in late August.

Wish me luck on my ochem exam! And I'll see you all soon.
