Weekend Ramblings

I finally started cleaning out my office on Friday and when I arrived at work this morning I was shocked at how clean my office was, however after 4 hours of organizing today I am not sure I am going to have it all cleaned out by tomorrow afternoon. It is amazing how much stuff one can accumulate in 19 months. I am very grateful that movers will be dealing with all my junk in my condo.

This weekend was full of fun stuff! I went out briefly Friday night to the Science Club. Yes I am that much of a geek, I am a scientist and I hang out at the Science Club. I might as well embrace my geekiness. Saturday I played in my very last football game and we lost. It poured in DC on Saturday and I don’t think I have ever been so wet and muddy in my entire life. I did not play my best on my last game but I can’t help but feel good about the entire experience. A year ago I had never played football and this season I was recruited by an A league team. I know if I was staying in DC and continued to play football I would improve even more.

Saturday night I went out on the town! I started the evening early (6 pm) and finished very late (4 am), and I was not hung over on Sunday. I was tired but not hung over. We went dancing and the club was a riot. They played old Bon Jovi and Foreigner music and dated myself by knowing all the lyrics to the songs. I am surprised I did not lose my voice screaming the lyrics that night.

Sunday night was my last hockey game. It was a playoff game and we won. I won’t be here for the Championship game next week but I am confident our team will win. It has been great playing for the best team in the league; we have not lost a game all season. Unfortunately my new place of residence does not have hockey or football, but I have signed up for softball and basketball. It is going to be a true test of my athletic ability, because I actually have played both sports before. I won’t have the excuse of not knowing what I am doing to hide my lack of ability.
