Eventful

So this has been an eventful weekend.

First, Thursday night, the only night that I have off at my second job, I get roped into going to a middle school for a recruitment hit but instead, one of my teammates gets hit by a car right in front of our office. She is okay and is staying home now in a lot of pain, but it scared a crap load of people.

Saturday we had another service event with our students. The rain made everything very unsafe for our students so we had to call it early. It was hard as hell to get parents to come and pick up their kids. I ended up getting left at the park with one of our students whose mom wasn't picking up her phone at all. The mom ended up coming at the regular end time which was over two hours after we had ended the day. I had to bus back through Seattle to my house soaking wet, hungry, and angry. It was not fun.

Saturday night, however, I got to go to a club in Seattle called: R-Place. I like that place only because I like hip hop music. Some of my friends surprised me there and we ended up at Neighbors, another club in Seattle. I had never been to this one before but I was too drunk to really take it all in.

Sunday, I had my normal soccer game, but this one was our Over 30 vs. Under 30 game with my team, Ripple Effect, playing with another team called Savoire Faire. During this, I ended up getting two invites to play with more competitive teams that I am seriously thinking about doing. I will need to start up some training over the winter if I do decide to do it.

We also had a Thanksgiving shindig with all our players tonight on those two teams. I decided that I would bring something that I call "Amy's Fruit Salad" to the dinner. It's basically a watermelon hollowed out and filled with other types of fruit. It looks cool, and that's what I was going for. I made two out of mini watermelons and they were a huge hit.

I also found out today that I somehow was given the Alumni of the Year award from my fraternity. It's crazy. I had no idea I was even up for it. It's cool, I just wish I was back in Kville to celebrate with everyone for it.

For now, I am staying extremely busy and lamenting not being able to see mi madre for Thanksviging.
