Yesterday I left my home on Long Island and ventured down to Baltimore to spend the remainder of my summer training with Loyola women's soccer during our preseason camp. It's amazing how fast the summer flew by; it feels like yesterday I was packing up my stuff to go home. I hate having to say good bye to my family and friends, and I hate leaving work and the beach, but it's always nice to reconnect with my Loyola friends after some time apart. After a grueling ride full of tons of traffic, I moved all of my belongings into my new dorm last night, but still have not completely unpacked...it's such a tedious process. This morning I reunited with all of my teammates and friends and met our incoming freshman...all 11 of them! Preseason kicked off with our fitness test (the dreaded YBMI (You Better Make It)) at 5 o'clock tonight and although I was a little nervous, I passed with flying colors :) We concluded our day with a team dinner at Strapazza in Towson (which I would argue has the best pizza around, obviously not as good as New york pizza, though). Tomorrow we begin our two-a-day practices, so needless to say the ice bath and I will be best friends!
Preseason sucks kell but glad your back on campus and hope you girls do great this year
