Downs and Ups

The weekend started out not-so-great with a rough loss against Cincinnati on Thursday night. It was a dissappointing game not only because we lost, but our crowd was basically silent and most of the fans left towards the end of the third quarter. We had a record number of student attendees (over 14,000) but that doesn't mean much if we aren't into the game. But, that's over now, and hopefully the team willl pull it together for a win against Pitt this Saturday. Our season certainly isn't over!

On a better note, yesterday I got to spend the day playing outside with friends at the Ropes Course at Riverfront Park. We spent the morning doing team building acitivities on the ground-we played Alaskan Baseball, group juggle, and other fun games. For one of the games I had to be blindfolded and wasn't allowed to talk...it was difficult, lol.
After our lunch break, we all got harnessed up and hit the High Ropes Course, which is basically a giant jungle gym, but 50 feet in the air. It takes a good bit of physical effort, and a lot of trust in your equipment, but it's so much fun. Then, when we finished playing around, we all got to zip line back to the ground!

Swinging across the "toxic river" during low ropes.

All set to climb!

To top it off, I got to sleep for 11 hours last night, so I'm rested for the week ahead!

Now off to hang out with the roommies!
