Burn it Off

my self-inflicted panopticon failed.

100%

my my, it's all on the field man. first of all, last night i ended up staying at mudd well past 3am...i stayed 'tilla bout 5:30am, came back here, packed up some food and homework, and went to the bus at 6:30am. i didn't play today 'cause my back didn't feel good after NOT SLEEPING AT ALL. needless to say, i was rather tired.

so we show up at princeton, and our first matchup: Cornell.....the fuckin' #2 seed for regionals. we go into it with a fire (and a gimpy scorekeeper : ) and actually lead them at one point, tying a lot, and at their heels at any other given time. unfortunately, with all we gave, it wasn't enough and we were taken 12-15....a loss not to be ashamed of. the guys played their hearts out and got beat. we're also saying goodbye to 3/4 seniors (eytan, gil, matt), and will be seeing salty next year (ms program). gil, to my (and i'm sure others') surprise, broke down in tears. despite everything i hate about the guy, i never doubted that he loved the game. his departure will create a hole in our game, but i have confidence that our game is going to change a little and it will be taken care of. he brought a lot on the field i, personally, didn't like. his way was one way to do it, but definately not the only way and i'm looking forward to filling that hole. love'a the game, however, is something i'll always respect.

and i made it through the season without breaking my back again : ) that was the goal. i did think that playing today would be a bad idea because i hadn't slept....but i just didn't have the time. and i wanted to see them play nonetheless, and i'm glad i did, it was a great game.

congrats to the women, as well, for playing hard against swarthmore...but they, too, fell. ultimate's all pau. all that's left this year is all this fucking work.

and despite only sleeping on the bus ride there and back for TWO DAYS plus one hour friday night, and maybe another hour at princeton yesterday waiting through our buy....on top of all the running around....i'm wide awake. go figure!

insomniac music theater.
