Wow
Yesterday was the biggest mix of emotions I think I have ever felt. I really don't know how to put everything into words at all, maybe once forensics is completely over I'll be able to express myself more eloquently, but right now I'm kind of at a loss for words.
Although things for me did not turn out like I would have hoped, I am so incredibly proud of everyone on the team. Joe is friggen amazing, I don't think there was a single person on the team who wasn't at least somewhat close to tears when he double broke 1st place. Damn Marlboro took the pf title away from township, but watching Katie and Locke, two of the nicest people you'll meet, debating in a final round was definitely memorable. Legitimately taking 3rd place as a team was awesome.
Spending so much of the day with kids and coaches from different schools, cheering for them and congratulating them after the breaks were announced, really made me extremely satisfied because it shows that our school is no longer as isolated and hated as it was when I came on the team freshman year. If we accomplished anything this year, we've made our team a part of the greater whole that is the NJFL.
I think my favorite part had to be the bus ride home though. I really didn't expect to get nearly as upset as I got. I never cry at things like that. I feel like I didn't say half of what I had to say and I didn't mention and thank nearly enough people. Forgive me, I couldn't think clearly. But what everyone else said was just so good and sincere and its just reflective of how we've gotten as a group. Everyone has been so open and close with each other this year and I love that. I just love this team.
Well, I don't really have anything else to write. Congratulations to everyone for this weekend! Oh...and like my new icon?
