1st Team!

I just got back from rugby training and got spectacular news ... I made the 1st team for the game this Wednesday. I'm on the 1st team roster as a fresher who has never played rugby before, and this is a serious varsity university sport. I'm so excited I can't even explain it. I don't know how I did it, but the captains and coach agree I'm a natural at the game. I'll be the first substitute for hooker, but I'm sure to get some playing time since I'm the first sub on the roster and the only one who plays hooker. I was doing really well at training today, so everything is looking great. The game on Wednesday is in Lancaster, so we leave here at 9:30am, play all afternoon, shower and change on the bus and go straight to the social outing. Basically, I'll be with the rugby team for 20 hours straight. Free travel through England, good sports, extreme fun ... life can't get better than this!
