I finally made good on my promise to go see the AAU women's volleyball team play tonight. They're not bad for an art school. I came in with skewed expectations, though. There was a lot of hype about how good they were, and tonight I thought they played kind of sloppy (but managed the win). Also of interest was our cheer team, which literally chanted their way for two hours to an unresponsive audience. Go Urban Nights!

Sidenote - I was wondering why we call ourselves the "Urban" Knights? I think "Knights" sounds catchier to me. I guess we could be worse - like a banana slug or anteater (don't hate me!).

I know why I'm an urbanite, though. This past weekend it was a bunch of us city kids hiking what was labeled a "moderate" hike. We managed to weather a bee sting, bouts of hunger, 90+ degree weather, a 500 foot incline, and a successful crawfish capture (with my empty dried mango bag). I love nature and the outdoors, but crave the big city. Someone puhleese tell me this makes me one step closer to ghetto...
