Nothing like a weekend back in the good ole college town to take your mind off the stress of being a gainfully employed member of society. And like every good Wartburg Knight would do, Darrell and I had to make a stop at the local college bar, Joe's Knighthawk, in addition to stops at both of the other bars in Waverly. Go big or go home!
If you look closely at the sign, you'll see the real reason why Darrell and I went down to Waverly. Wartburg Soccer has always prided itself in being a "family", and there's no better way to celebrate that family than to host an event for the alumni (and, of course, buy them a free keg--guaranteed way to get people to show up). We spent a gorgeous afternoon at the soccer games, during which the alumni in attendance were introduced at halftime (women's alumni during the women's game, men during the men's game).
I should also mentioned that this was the first year that they've done this event, so things were a little unorganized. Hence the awkward standing around in the middle of the field after being announced. And unfortunately, one of the 2007 female grads got married this same weekend, so a lot of alumni who would have been in attendance were at the wedding. But, it was still good to see everyone who was there (and fewer people meant more free beer for the ones who were there--oofta!), plus we got to see both teams come away with wins (although the women took a nail-biting game into overtime, only to score the golden goal a mere 40 seconds in!), so all in all it was a great weekend. A much-needed great weekend.
Now, I'm off to enjoy my day off (the perfect end to the weekend)! Happy Columbus/Native American Day!
