Starting the Lasts

Today was the last day I will play in a college tournament in the states (unless I go to grad school, which isn't looking like a great option quite yet). The guys team played and is playing at Lewis University, quite near Valpo. Normally, the guys have been fielding about 20-deep for players, but this semester, they are good if they can get 15, and today there were 10 guys who decided to celebrate Frisbee in this tournament. Sad for them but good for us ladies! Speaks and I stepped up (eagerly) and said we would play if they needed players. And they did, so we played. Today I played pretty well. Playing with mostly guys makes me play really aggressive, which makes me feel really great about the game. But is also makes me really nervous, because every missed catch and missed throw makes me feel about 10 times more inadequate as a player, but then I have to look at the whole field, and no one was making perfect catches or throws. Everyone messed up.

This starts the end of things at Valpo. I am somewhat looking forward to bowing out of Valpo frisbee, I think that I brought something to the team, and if I stayed any longer, it would just make me upset. In front of me is something unknown, and sticking with the Frisbee theme, will I get to play much next year. That I am unsure about, there are a few tournaments I want to hit, but actually train? Hopefully, but I have no say in the matter. Now I just sit and wait, which is really ok, not planning on what I am doing is somewhat refreshing.

But thank you Valpo Ultimate, while there are still many things to do, it is time for me to move on.
