I have some really exciting news.  Once I confirm it I'll come back and edit this and tell you all what this is about.  It might take a day or two, though.

Oh my God I'm excited!

P.S.  My leg didn't bother me when I rode today.  Whee!  The doctor said, "I think you should take the weekend off."  And I called Nancy and said, "I'm not supposed to do any exercising this weekend.  Including riding.  But you know what?  I don't really trust doctors.  Does 10:00 on Sunday sound good to you?"

Upper leg contusion.

DAMNIT.

Quadriceps contusion:
Contusions will form as a result of a direct blow to the muscle, in this case the quadriceps muscle. A contusion is a severe bruise, with symptoms including pain and swelling which increases overnight. Pain will also increase with muscle contraction and stretching. Pain and swelling will tend to decrease with extended pressure, elevation and icing. This injury is common in contact sports such as football and rugby.

I have an Australian girl staying at my house for two nights.  Their accents are awesome.  She's come with her school and last night UHS played her school's hockey team.  She's with thirty-two other girls and she plays netball, which apparently is big in Australia but does not exist on this side of the pond.  Last night we watched "The Lizzie McGuire Movie," which was hilarous.  The big SI-SH game was last night, too, and I wish we had gone.

The dean of students made the announcement at ASM that "Australian field hockey players are coming to San Francisco and need host families" and half the guys in the auditorium raised their hands.

My friend and I hid our faces in embarassment.

Tonight there was a party at one of the girl's houses.  It was fun, spent a lot of time talking to the freshmen.  Allegra is crazy hyper, it's hard to keep up with her, she's insane.  I like all the freshmen a lot.  One friend explained her current love life with me and it's pretty complicated.

Giants beat the Dodgers 9-4.  It's going to be tricky getting to the playoffs but I'm crossing my fingers!  Pedro Feliz hit a grand slam... I love him.  In English, his name is Peter Happy.  That's too cool.
