Sioux City

As of Monday at around nine o'clock, TUBB's high hopes of going to nationals were desecrated...but at two o'clock today they came shining through again. We found out that we received the tenth at large bid for the National Tournament in Sioux City :) I still don't think that I am completely grasping the whole concept of nationals and everything that it entails. I've been to nationals at a younger age, but to go in college, with the team that I absolutely adore and am sooo blessed to be on, will be such an amazing experience. I cannot put into words what I am feeling right now. In my world lit class we are learning about Dante's The Purgatorio. We just read the part where he saw Beatrice's divine face and she made him completely speechless because he never could have fathomed such beauty. This is kind of extreme but I can completely relate. I never thought that I could be so excited to work my butt off for one more week of my life. To push my body until it wants to break down and die. All of it is for the glory of God and no one else. This feeling is brand new and, in my opinion, more than welcome.
