Thanksgiving weekend -- awesome.
Started it out with a volleyball trip down to the wonderful world of the US of A. First game, we stopped in Bemidji and played against a team that shouldn't touch a volleyball; it pains me to think that someone can actually ruin a sport (at the college level) that everyone says is "easy and lame" in the first place (it's awesome, by the way). Needless to say, beat them 3 straight WITHOUT our setter who sprained her ankle earlier. After the game, we continued on towards Minneapolis....but...not without any hitches...
DEER.
Hit one. Yep. Tumbled to it's death (not us, the deer). I ended up making copious amounts of phone calls (Minneapolis hotel, St. Cloud hotel, spoke to the NCU athletic director, etc. etc., oh, and my coaches mom). I'll be expecting a nice cheque from the school to cover roaming charges... It's difficult driving a car when the bearings are out of place. Took the driver (coach) and me to both yank on the wheel to turn the poor vehicle. Ended up pushing our games back and hour and a half cuz we had to stay in St. Cloud rather than Minnie for the night. We made it. Played our games. Beat NCU. Lost to Faith (damn).
Made it back to Canada in time to celebrate 50% of my Thanksgiving holiday weekend with my sisters (one who was out from...ironic...St. Paul/Minneapolis). Had too much pie and early Halloween candy (ow, my tummy). Saw my fam. Did some laundry.
Aaaaaand...weekend over.
But not before I watched "The Talented Mr. Rippley"....can you say bizarre?
Also, as a tribute to Thanksgiving, please watch this video. Too funny and true:
