Away at Albany

This past weekend myself and the Delaware Lacrosse team travled to the bitter clod and snow pilled campus of Albany New York. The game was one that did not go in our favor, but I writing this blog to give a bit of insight of what goes on in the 2 days of beign away from campus and the 5 hour bus ride. The start of the trip begins at the crack of dawn, bus leave at 7:15 and according to coach fi you don't make it there at that time we will leave without you. So wake up at 6:30, get your roomate up, drive down, grab your oversized bag full of everything you will need for the next two days, pop in the i pod, and snuggle up with your neighbor on the bus with your favorite pillow. The drive starts and you struggle to fall back asleep because of the chatter in th background from guys telling stories and the uncomfortable position you are in because you are sharing a row of seats with your buddy that is 6-2 200 lbs. Once you dose off hours go by like minutes, and 20 or 30 songs on suffle latter your already up at Albany and getting ready for a mid day pregame practice. The practice is one that is quick and easy, coach doesn't want to kill you the day before a big game. After practice hop back on the bus in your gear and ride 20 mins to the hotel. Pull up and its your favorite a marriot, most comfortable beds I have ever slept in, the things are so comfrtable you wake up and cant tell which way is up or down, your caught in a cloud of pillows and down comforters. Get into the hotel room, I'm sharing a room with my fellow defnesive midfileder Brett Manney, we tend to stay with players who share the same position. Luckly for me that is one of the funnest and most entertaining people I know in Brett, a 6-3 goofy trip from outside of philidelphia. Our newest instalment to our room is a freshmen named Curtis Dickson, a midfileder from the other side of North America, Bristish Columbia Canada. There is much more to the trip but as for now I'm just going to leave it at this, a long bus ride and a comftorable night sleep with teamates you truley appreciate.
