Tuesday Posts: Not Really Focused on Frisbee Anymore

The thing is, there’s just not that much to say about your average game. So I think I’ll be writing the equivalent of a highlight reel, and then moving on to another topic, starting this Tuesday. Come to think of it, that’s basically how last Tuesday went also.

Today I had what might be my best game of the season to date. Lots of playing time, no critical fumbles… and ironically, we lost. I described the difficulty of playing with only two subs last week; this week we discovered what it is like to play with only one sub. And that one person could well be the difference between victory and defeat, since last week we won, and this time, we lost. The final score was only 15-13, so it wasn’t a blow-out, but sometimes being that close to victory only makes defeat more bitter. Alright, I’m done.

Let’s also talk about fireworks this week. I will say this about Lawrence’s display: definitely respectable for a city of its size. For better or for worse, living in Chicago last summer forever skewed my perspective on the issue of fireworks. There they have fireworks twice a week throughout the summer, and the extravaganzas for Independence Day and Venetian Night (at the end of July) outshines small stars. Plus, all this happens over Lake Michigan, so private boats, often lit-up and decorated themselves, are cruising around trying to get a good view, adding to the spectacle. All that said, Lawrence’s fireworks were still a good time. I also got to eat a delicious grilled pork tenderloin dinner with my grandparents, so good food was also had last weekend.

I am still amazed at how packed my days are, even though I’m not occupied with engineering homework. It seems I managed to allocate and divide up that free time pretty early on in the summer.

And coming this Friday: the Stephenson Hall Alumni Barbeque!
