Winter Break

Here at EC we have the unique opportunity to not only have a spring break, but a winter break as well. This break ishappening this week and being on the lacrosse team I had expected to be here all week practicing and hopefully playing games. We ended up being able to have the opportunity to go home, and after hearing this I got extatic; my goalie, who lives a few towns over from me, and I would leave from our scrimmage at Kings College and head home from there. Having this supprise come about was awesome and being able to see my family really excited me.

The day before the scrimmages, however, fate called and the transmission on my goalies car went. It really sucked the wind out of me and was a real bummer. Being an athlete we do get a bit of a perk if we are here on campus. The athletes that have to stay on campus get meal cards that cover the meals that we have while we are here, and that is really nice considering my meal account balance is much lower than it is supposed to be.

Our scrimmages went okay, although, like any team early in the season, we have much work to do. It was very exciting being able to play in my first college lacrosse game. College athletics are a whole different ball game than high school and youth athletics, and being here at EC I am getting the opportunity to experience it. It is also the benefit of going to a small school and knowing that you don't get enveloped in the society of a 40,000 students school.
