First Week of Classes

by Deena Levey '13 (nursing major from Bexley, Ohio)

Up until this week my life at Case consisted of eating, sleeping, and playing soccer. I was perfectly happy with this schedule and getting in the groove of things, but it had to come to an end. Unfortunately, my months of freedom from homework and classes were over. All week, before and after practice, the topics of discussion were schedules and professors and how many hours of work we had to do that night. Apparently, the weather is just as upset about this turn of events as I am (it has been raining all week).

Thursday the team was very excited for a break from studying. We scrimmaged Ohio Wesleyan and played very well. There were three 30-minute games. They scored in the first game off a free kick, and I have to say it was a very nice shot. We then tied it up in the second thanks to a perfect pass by Devo and a great finish by Cicy. The third 30 minutes we had a couple really good chances and played very well however, the scrimmage ended in a 1-1 tie. Many of our lovely parents came to watch the scrimmage (Thank you!) and I'm pretty sure my mom has already made a couple of new best friends.

The weather (still upset about school starting) did not allow us to practice on Friday, so Saturday we had a captain's practice. We all had a good time playing World Cup (Go China!) and Knockout, in addition to a couple other games and drills.

Our first game is coming up this Tuesday against Ashland! Can't Wait!
