The End of Another Chapter...

I should be reading right now...

I should be studying for the GRE's...

I should be writing my 15 page paper for Econ...

I should be working on my senior project...

I should be working on my Algebra take-home midterm...



I should be doing a lot of things....



Instead, I am just sitting here, staring at the computer screen. I'm thinking about the past three months and everything that they have meant to me.


I went into the field hockey season at a very fragile time in my life. I was searching for happiness, and asking God all types of questions everyday. I was longing for closure and self forgiveness. I was in need of something special.

And boy did I find it.

My field hockey team, all 21 of them, have a special place in my heart. They made me into a better person.

I will never forget looking across the locker room and seeing Lauriann's leg shake in unison with mine before every game. I will never forget the helmet kisses that Brooke gave me every time I went onto the field. I will never forget the Fierce Five, and our domination of corners this season. I will never forget Gabby and J-Rey doing my hair before every game. I'll never forget team goalie. I will never forget when both the twins come and give me a giant hug at the same time.

I will never forget the past three months, and everything they have done for me.

Today marked the end of the 2010 St. Mary's College Varsity Field Hockey season. We lost to Mary Washington, 1-0, during the semi-final game of the CAC conference playoffs. It was a heartbreaking loss that had a lot of tears.

But that's OK...or at least it will be.

The experiences and friendships that field hockey has given me will last for a lifetime, not just a season. So while it's going to suck tomorrow at 4 when I want to go to practice, I'm proud of my team, and myself, for the fantastic season that we've had.

I love you girls, with everything I have. Thank you for reminding me what it's like to put your heart and soul into something.
