pre-move-in-day

So I'm really supposed to be sleeping right now, but I just finished putting up my RA boards and now it is time for sleep. I wanted to post something in response to my first post this morning though.
First of all, these days have been so ungodly long, I can't believe that I created this blog this morning.
Secondly, I'm not sure what triggered my mood this morning. Something probably from a combination of undersleeping, not eating very much, RA training all week, and a mixture of things including the conversation this morning just set me into a very contemplative mood for some reason or another. All in all, it was a very good conversation this morning. I learned new things about my fellow staff members and my new RD, and I was able to delve into my own feelings about the subject and actually say them out loud, instead of just thinking them to myself. In all actuality I would not have spoken up about my feelings on the subject except for the fact that my RD asked me what my feelings on the subject were. That's one thing that I really appreciate about Chanel, she's really into allowing everyone a chance to speak, and it honestly seems like she really wants to know what everyone has to say about particular subjects. Go Chanel.
Thirdly, I really wanted this to become my frisbee blog. And it will become my frisbee blog especially once the season starts to get into the full swing of things. Amped to see new freshman tomorrow and hopefully indoctrinate the really tall ones.
I've actually been thinking about frisbee a lot and discussing it randomly with a few friends. More importantly, I have begun perusing the website www dot the-huddle dot org. Definitely a site to check out if you want to learn more about how to improve your game, which is my main goal. Granted I have a team to think about and I shouldn't just be worried about making my own game better, but that's what I do as my particular role in being a captain. From what I've heard from other people, I am who most people watch to learn more about how to play the game well. I'm not saying that I should or should not be watched, but if people are going to watch me to learn how to play better then that means that I really need to step my game up and show people exactly what they need to be doing on the field. Also, just to say, we have many other players on the field that also should be watched including my fellow male captain, Ben, without his help on the field I wouldn't be anywhere near as good of a player as I am now. Him being better then me when we first arrived freshman year pushed me to better myself faster then I would have if I didn't have someone who I could compete with. Granted we did have Mitch, which again I'm super happy about, but Mitch was not looking to take over the main handler position on the team, which was put up to a fight between Benny-Boi and myself.
I've also been trying to figure out what to do when I'm not on the field. Mainly the only reason I get taken off the field right now is because I've either just run cup for a couple points in a row, or I become furious with myself for letting myself get scored on by doing something stupid. But in both of these situations I'm not doing anything productive for the team. That really needs to stop. Now.
Can't really think of anything else for tonight, wake up in under 6 hours. Time for bed. Super pumped to see everyone coming back to school soon.
