Glory...

Finally finished Neuro today. Felt like forever. I really did learn a lot, and I think I can say this was the best-directed block in many ways. I'm going to miss our crazy brain surgeon of a professor who literally left someone on the table this afternoon to come ref our football game. He didn't even have to give us 5 downs, we killed them all by ourselves. I don't know if you understand how much I LOVE to play football. It always helps when you start off dressed in blue street camouflage and eye black, so you already look like a gang of thugs. Add our awesome cheerleaders who aren't afraid to don pink Target skirts and wigs, and a grand entrance courtesy of Geoff's limo (no, seriously), and there's no way we could have lost. Of course, we're also very good. And I love that I get to play every position except center (coach, QB, lineman, linebacker, wide receiver, corner back, punter), that I got a passing and receiving TD (and an almost safety, darn!), and that Jaime drew a late-hit to give us a key first down with under two minutes to play. Now that was a sweet thing to watch. I love play-calling from the sidelines and yelling out instructions and getting handed water by our wonderful water boys. The whole thing, I love it. And I love that I have another game on Sunday for ND Blue. Yay for football. I've said this before, but football is the sport of glory. Every play has the potential for highlight reel greatness, and you feel like you're on the jumbotron even if it's just powderpuff because that's how glorious it is.
