Hey everyone! I apologize for the month long hiatus but I had late start classes this semester and am just n
ow getting into the swing of things
Putting classes aside there have been a lot of events going on around campus. This has included everything from a comedy show called “Sex Signals”, a night at the foam pit and KICKBALL.
Last year while working at The Steaming Bean I covered shifts for one of my co-workers while she competed in a weekend kickball tournament. Now to most peo
ple Kickball is just a middle school sport that kids play during recess. However I am not the most athletic person in the world and kickball is one of the few sports where I feel I have a fair chance at competing. Needless to say when I heard there was a kickball league in town the next two words out of my mouth were “Where and when?”
Unfortunately I couldn’t play last year because I was working, but when my friend Mark told me he was starting a CMC team I immediately told him to sign me up.
Since CMC sponsored our team we made an agreement not to participate in the drinking, which is a small price to pay for a weekend of competitive kickball. Not to mention it gave us a pretty clear playing advantage.
I did let my temper get the best of me during our second game against a group of drunk hooligans. We began losing when the ref started making unfair c
alls and the team started making unnecessary comments in an attempt to intimidate us. We wound up losing after a horrible inning where they gained ten runs, but they didn’t last long in the competition and one of their players was barred from the tournament.
All in all it was a great was a great way to spend the weekend. The weather was perfect and a lot of people were there to compete and cheer each other on. We were eliminated in our forth game with an 0-2 loss. We walked away knowing we played a fair game and tried our hardest.
Upcoming events include a CMC Coffee House from 6-8pm this Wednesday and broom ball.
