Hi!

Just wrote my first two midterms in this quest for a higher education. I think I did very well on one, but am not positive on the other. Either way I know I passed.

We've had some weird weather here of late. We actually had a funnel cloud (a tornado/waterspout that doesn't touch the ground)! Of course it had to happen on my shift so that was a bit chaotic. Although it did go away rather quickly.

On the soccer front, it seems that we have managed to join a league where refereeing is sub-par at best and where our competitors seem to have missed the title of the league "Recreational"! It's really rather ridiculous. Since I've played soccer I haven't seen this many cheap shots and illegal or unsportsmanlike plays ever. I had a ball kicked in my face from a high kick last Thursday and am still feeling the effects of it. Oh, and the guy didn't even get a yellow card. Our captain, who was playing in goal last game, had a guy jump at him and jab his forearm into our captain's throat and he didn't get ejected from the game! Needless to say we're filing a grievance. My team has never won a game and other teams are still attacking us?!! We just want to have a good time and still be able to work the next day. (no more bitching here)

On my final note, my mom is back in the hospital. Apparently she wasn't doing well and Ken forced her to go. The doctors were glad she went so she can be properly cared for. It seems she's just there so they can monitor and make sure she's getting what she needs for now. The doctors don't know if she'll be in there for a few more days or if it'll be weeks.

That's the latest for me...hope you are all well!!
