Monday and Tuesday were normal days, busy with school and work but on Wednesday I got to travel to Ann Arbor with volleyball for their match against University of Michigan. UM is currently ranked first in the conference and #15 in the country. This is just the second day trip I've taken with volleyball and it's always fun to see how different teams travel.
Our football team won yesterday 26-6 and are now 7-0. It's the first time since 1966 apparently that they've been 7-0 so it's an awesome time to be in East Lansing! Saturday night Mikel had to work and I went to the MSU volleyball game. They had a great win over #20 Northwestern and are now 11-8. This was their first win over a ranked team this season and they won handily 3-0!
Whew! Now it's Sunday and I should be getting school stuff in order, Mikel's at work, and I'm going to be playing intramural volleyball this afternoon with some of my ex-students. Then we're going out to dinner with some friends for Mikel's birthday!
This is at the UM gym for practice Wednesday morning. Their gym is built in what used to be a swimming pool and only seats 1,800 but it makes for a great atmosphere!
This is what it looks like filled up for the match. All the yellow shirts on the opposite side of the floor are members of their student section who are CRAZY hecklers! MSU played well but lost 3-1.
Unfortunately, on the way home we figured out that Mikel's phone had finally died (he's had it FOREVER) so we had to get him a new phone on Thursday. Two hours later, we walked out of the Verizon store with a sweet new phone so he's excited.
On Friday, Mikel worked in the afternoon and I went to volleyball practice. Friday night I worked Midnight Madness for the men's and women's basketball programs in the Breslin Center. It truly was madness as we hit capacity and had to turn away thousands of people who showed up too late! The doors didn't open until 9:30 but when I showed up to work at 7:45 there were huge crowds outside already.
Not to mention there was a hockey game going on as well on campus and the homecoming parade which shut down the main street in town! It took Mikel soooo long to get home after he dropped me off at work.
Luckily, I got off of work fairly early because I also worked the homecoming football game on Saturday morning. It was a beautiful day so with my layers of clothes, I was actually warm!
You can see the tiny corner of orange in the stadium where the University of Illinois fans were sitting but the rest of it was all green!
Whew! Now it's Sunday and I should be getting school stuff in order, Mikel's at work, and I'm going to be playing intramural volleyball this afternoon with some of my ex-students. Then we're going out to dinner with some friends for Mikel's birthday!
