We won our region easily a few weeks ago down in Minneapolis. This gave us the opportunity to head down to Florida for NATIONALS! It was an awesome time and if I went into detail this entry would easily be my longest. Anyways, to make a long story much shorter (if I would have said the usual saying it would have been hardcore cliche), we went down ranked as 1st (plus we were the only Canadian team) and came out of the tournament 4th. Not bad, considering we represent a school of ~400 students and lost to Southeastern University which has 3500! Plus we just got run down by them because they used 4 subs a minute, I swear! Soccer is like fast break basketball to those Floridans. We had no chance to get out of our defensive end and build up an attack. In the third place game we hit about 4 posts and missed a penalty kick, then fell a part and lost in the second half! So we should have really gotten 3rd. Whatevs, I don't want to get worked up about our losses, so I'll move on.
It felt like we were down there for ages, especially since we had a couple days to kick back and relax when we arrived. OH, funny story: when we (the last group - Freshmen) arrived in the Orlando airport, some guy on the PA decided to be hilarious for 5 seconds. He came on with a high squeaky voice and then proceeded to say, "Hello, hello... 1,2,3, penis; 1,2,3, penis..." in a quick sneaky voice. That's all that came from the PA and everyone was stunned, but then of course we burst out in laughter. It was unreal.
Since we lost on Saturday in the Semis, we had Sunday to relax and do whatever we felt like. I had the privilege to head out to Universal Studios with my fam (check out my pictures on my facebook, we had some fun with the T-Rex in the Jurassic Park area). All the rides were awesome, there were no line-ups and it was a sunny beautiful day!! That's the best.
Tuesday we came back and I had a serious spillage incident on the plane. It was ridiculous. Here's how it went: I had just poured my recently received orange juice and was holding it trying to pull down the window shutter. It would not budge so I put a little bit of extra force into pushing it... all of a sudden it gave way with a jolt, resulting in me jolting as well. My whole glass of orange juice ended up on my lap, my shirt, and my seat. Who knew one glass could soak one half of your boxers, half your shirt, half your sweats, and your seat! What's worse is that the flight attendant asked me if I needed a blanket to sit on... I thankfully accepted. How embarrassing! Good thing my friend lent me some clothes.

Since the Freshmen had a lay over in Minneapolis for ~12 hours a bunch of us decided to hit up the Mall of America. We hopped on the train at the airport and arrived in under 10 mins, it was very convenient. We ate some McDons for breakfast and some Chipotle for lunch! Here's a fact for all you Chipotle lovers: I now appreciate Chipotle after eating it for the second time. Now that's a life lesson; if at first you don't succeed, try, try again (talk about cliche, plus I'm not even entirely sure if it fits my example... meh, sure it does). And here's a little snippet of the day's events, Thom and I had a mini Lego soap box derby; check it:
