just got back from Besancon and the national collegiate ultimate frisbee tournament. in summary of the event, i'd say that we did pretty well! more specifically, we had a (1) nice solid victory and gave it 110% all eight games. furthermore, i'd say the optimistic wording i use hear pretty accurately reflects the attitude of everyone on the team (though i must admit i personally was discouraged at moments), which is what counts anyway.
either way, we all got along incredibly well and had a blast. one of the girls on the team, Lola, recorded a bunch with her video camera, so i look forward to revisiting the good times, maybe even in a form i can share with you people.
on the bad news side: i just got word from Pomona about the research proposal i sent in last month, and it was rejected. so suddenly i don't know what i'm going to do for work this summer, and am thinking i may need to leave europe earlier than planned to find a job, which is a crying shame because i have been starting to put together some really exciting travel plans. either way, i'm just really disappointed to not get the grant, as i felt pretty eager to do that research.
to end on a good note, i was appreciating today where my french has been these days. i feel completely comfortable with it now, to the point actually where i struggle sometimes turning it off when i talk to anglophones. but my comprehension is quicker than ever, and i'm feeling pretty comfortable with humor, which is tough, and i feel like i'm absorbing new vocabulary more quickly than before. so anyway. that's a good thing that's happening.
thanks for reading and have a good day.
