This week was the week of our mid-semester break. I was unaware that any college gave students a random mid semester break, but I found it to come at the perfect time! College is a stressful place and it is helpful to have a break every once in awhile. If they had not given us this break, we wouldn't have one until Thanksgiving.
Since it was mid-semester break, campus was cleared out. Most people went home for the four days we had off. That is sometimes the strangest part of living so far away. You don't have anywhere to go on the weekend, like the rest of the people do. It is sometimes depressing because campus can get pretty boring over the weekend. That is when I am so thankful that I was able to get a roommate that is also from California. We are always stuck in the same boat.
I may not have been able to go home, but I stayed busy with soccer over the entire break. We traveled to Dallas and Houston over the break. Dallas was a good trip that turned ugly in the end. Our bus ended up running out of gas and we were stranded at University of Dallas for about five hours. We ended up having to call in favors to get us switched to a different bus that could get us home. Eventually, we started heading back around midnight and didn't get back to campus until five in the morning. It was quite a night and I am really thankful we had a good win over University of Dallas, otherwise being stranded with our coach for that long could have been a nightmare. Overall it was a rough night, but it will be a trip that I will always remember.
Luckily, our trip to Houston was a lot more pleasant. We ended up winning a huge game and came off of the weekend 2-0. It was definitely a weekend that will stick in my memory, that is for sure.
I was disappointed at first that soccer was going to consume my whole break, but then I realized I would have gotten bored over the break if it wasn't for soccer.
