Last night, I scrimmaged for the very first time. It was a total blur of nerves, excitement and chaos. There was one brief moment when something just clicked inside me and I knew what I had to do. I ended up blocked the opposing jammer quite successfully. Afterwards, she even complimented me on my block. The encouragement made me feel like a million bucks. I also fell on my ass a couple times, but I was able to get back up and return to play. It was exhillirating.
In other news, I've made the B travel team. Of course, that's not much of an accomplishment because the only requirements are that you've pass minimum skills (check), you are available the weekend of the 1st game (check), you are willing (check), and you raised your hand when asked if who'd like to be on the team (check.) Still, its very exciting. This means that I will not have to wait until the beginning of the season (which starts in April) to play my first ever bout. I'll be playing a real live out of town exhibition game in just over a month. Booya! I'm totally psyched and totally terrified. Its going to be awesome.
