Apology
This is an apology for treating my elders with no respect. I am sorry that I back talked some people on here because I did not appreciate what they said and did even after I had already fixed the problem. I shouldn't have done anything and should have just let it go.

Oh my...
Yesterday was probably the worst games practice we have ever had, at least on the guys side.
We practice basketball and we actually did well on that. I am getting slightly better on my bounce passes, but I really need to practice them. Then we switched to balloon and.... I can't tell you how large a disaster it was. We were AWFUL. A couple of people were pretty much perfect, with one, maybe two mistakes. But some people were ramming balloons into the ground, throwing them up in the air, not getting them far enough back, not in position, dropping the balloon when it was passed to them. It was just embarrassing. I think at one point, we were at 18 seconds. Our best time was 11.02 and even that is not good... it is better than I had hoped for, but not nearly good enough. After we couldn't get it perfect three times in a row, I said "We have to stop, this is going no where fast." So we did tug. I actually did pretty well. Ben and I won the first round against Andy and Brian and Jonathan and Jeff. Then I lost the second time because someone slid half way to the other person's side and gave them an easy win. After this, we did bean bag and I couldn't do what I had been hoping despite doing it perfectly the first time. I was really disappointed in myself.
When I got there, I was expecting to get mad easily because I was having a really bad day. Then I decided to hope that practice would help block it out, which it did somewhat, but it was still affecting my play a little.
I don't know... things, from my perspective, don't look so good

Tryout day!
It took long enough, but the day finally came and we had tryouts.
So we only have six guys, but we had nine girls, so the girls were really the ones trying out. Everyone was completely nervous, and the only ones who did well were the ones who knew they were on the team, whether by default or by the fact that they know they are better athletes.
Because you have all been faithful reader (more or less?), I have decided to post the names of the people who made it onto the Summit team. I'm not going to post who didn't make it to save them from any embarrassment they might feel.
Girls
Arielle
Rose
Shannon
Shaney
Rachel W
Rachel B
Rebecca
So there is your 2008 Grace Covenant Summit Games Team.
In other news, last night was the worst I have ever played. I'm not discounting the fact that I was having and off night in general, but if you were watching me, it is safe to blame the majority of my failures on my footwear. I was on tug. I was on the outside of the circle, I sit down. I SLIDE forward like I was wearing rollerblades on asphalt, as opposed to rubber on carpet. I looked like I was watersking the second time in tug. My feet started slipping out from under me and I reached my hand back to get my balance and the rope left my hand. In agility, I keep slipping around the corners. I really want some running shoes.
That's all I've got fro now
