Soccer

So I had an itching the past few months to get back into playing soccer. I played most of my life but quit after an injury my junior year in high school. I wanted to play all the time but I was really worried that I would play terribly and I don't really enjoy being terrible... so I avoided it. So finally this spring term I enrolled in BYU's beginning soccer class. (I would have taken intermediate soccer except it wasn't offered) I wanted to test out my skills and see how terrible I was.
Despite the fact that the class is labelled "beginning soccer" only one person in the class had never played soccer. So the games we played were actually quite interesting. I was one of only five girls in the class which also made things interesting. I know I should be all gung ho about girl power and say that girls can be just as good as boys... but after my many years studying anatomy and physiology I know that boys are just more athletic than girls. It was definitely intimidating trying to defend some of the 6'2", 200lb boys coming full speed at me. I managed to make it through the class with only one injury on my knee from tackling a guy, Haha.
I guess I impressed some of the boys in my class and I was actually invited to play on their BYU intramural soccer team. We started the season late and only got to play in two games before playoffs started. We lost in the first round. It was such a frustrating game. After palying organized soccer for over 10 years playing boot ball like 2nd graders is no fun. We ended up losing in the last 30 secs of overtime due to the fact that the other team got the ball when they were offsides and scored (BYU intramural refs don't know what offsides is... retards). But I am still glad I took the class and played on the team. I am also signed up to take intermediate soccer in the fall. Party!
Oh and my only fan Brian came to all of my games and took some pictures of the playoff game. :-)

I am the one in the gray shorts and black socks...

I got tripped here and I was way mad
