Well, it has been a little while since my last post; exams and the holiday rush have been keeping me really busy! I spent a nice, relaxing week at home but it is time to start up again. I am getting pretty antsy to get back on the court, and I am certain I am not the only one who is. Tomorrow, our team will be traveling to Toronto to play in a tournament and some exhibition, and of course practice in between. Other than the extremely early departure time for the Fredericton girls tomorrow morning (5:30 takeoff :S), we are all very excited to see each other again and play some good volleyball.
We will have the chance to play against Toronto, Ryerson, Sherbrooke and many other teams. I believe that the fact that we will be able to play against new teams will make us a much better team and prepare us adequately for the second half of our season. We have some tough games coming up in the new year and I think we will be able to do very well.
One other important thing happening in the near future: THINK PINK !!! As you may have heard, assistant coach, Erin Crossland, and I will both be cutting our ponytails off to then donate them to Locks of Love. In December, we held a bake sale and we raised 500$ !! Our goal is 200$, so we are a quarter of the way there. We will be working at a men's/women's basketball game and hosting a coed intramural volleyball tournament. We are also looking into make Think Pink bracelets made. As you can see we have tons of fundraising to do in the next month if we want to reach our goal. The Think Pink game itself will be held on February 2nd so I encourage you all to mark your calendars :)
I will try and catch up if I have time in Toronto, if not it will be as soon as I return!
HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR !! Be safe :)
Jodie
