Took some getting used to, playing as a Beater. I'm fine with it now, but I still prefer playing Chaser over Beater. Always have, to be honest.

spontaneous unofficial beater practice :DDDD
i am on the BEST runner's high right now!!!! (except that i'm at work D:)
anyways, enough beaters showed up during the time mika and i usually run so we did some conditioning and played kickball! it was AWESOME :D
i am so proud of my catching skills, because although i still suck, i have a few awesome moments :3
my aim needs a bit of work but i'm getting there :D
MORE SPRINTING :D
who knew beater practice would be devoted to sprints, aka my favorite kind of running ;D
i felt really good today, especially since lyds ran with me. we warmed up with 4 laps, which was an 800, stretched, did some warm up exercises, then jogged the curves, sprinted the straightaways over and over.. i can't remember how many laps we did but it was great.
then we took a 2 minute break
and jogged 3/4s of the track and sprinted a curve then repeated that over and over... felt like barfing at the end but that's a good thing XD
then we did alphabets and some push ups and stretched together!
i def loved it xD
my goal is to run a mile everyday... although i feel that's too easy. we'll see how it goes... getting out of my room is the hardest part >.>
i talked to the snitch cap about snitch requirements...she doesn't know -.- no offense, that's kind of important. i'm not even sure if i want to devote the time to train for ld because heck, i love sprinting. but at the same time, i bet i'd make a kickass snitch ;P
UMD Quidditch Spring 2012 Practices
Sundays: 3:00-5:00 = full practice on McKeldin Mall. House Cup games. [ "At least no one on the Gryffindor team had to buy their way in. They got in on pure talent."]
Mondays: 7:00-8:15 = conditioning at Cole Field House. ["I spent the summer devising a whole new Quidditch program."]
Tuesdays: 5:45-7:15 = beater practice on McKeldin Mall. All players welcome to attend regardless of position. ["Our job is to make sure that you don't get bloodied up too bad. Can't make any promises, of course. Rough game, Quidditch."]
Wednesdays: 5:30-7:30 = full practice on McKeldin Mall. ["Get back in position, she's fine! But as you're passing to a teammate, do try not to knock her off her broom, won't you? We've got Bludgers for that!"]
Thursdays: 5:00-7:00 = full practice on McKeldin Mall. ["I think we'd better check with Puddlemere United whether Oliver Wood's been killed during a training session, because Angelina seems to be channelling his spirit."]
Fridays: 4:00-5:15 = conditioning at Cole Field House. ["He can move faster than Severus Snape confronted with shampoo."]
Saturdays: Off! ["We've been at it for hours. If I could just rest!"]
Quemories? Does that work?
Hrm... I can't tell stories very well, but I'll mention a few awesome/fun things that happened this semester, according to me anyway:
Watching Mean Girls and then going to Plato's at like 1-2am... my first time really hanging out with Quidditch people, realizing that all events with the team last about 2x longer than any normal event...
The really, really muddy beater practice... the one where we went to eat in Stamp (the Student Union for anyone not at UMD reading this) afterwards and it was extremely amusing.
Going to JHU to play Quidditch on Halloweekend and it was sooo cold and sleeting and I ended up lending people my gloves/hugging everyone/generally invading people's personal space. And I was in the awesome car! Just noticed that 4/5 people in that car have tumblr. Wow. And after playing in the freezing-ness there, Halloween funtimes. Some really great costumes.
Ninja. Ninja everywhere. In the fountain, at every tournament. No matter the weather or the time.
Club McKeldin vs. Club 2309: dueling study places. Except they were not dueling and of course only a small amount of studying got done at either... but much fun was had by all.
SO MUCH DODGEBALL
ALL THE FACEBOOK... basically when we're not on FB/Twitter/Tumblr we occasionally make time for Quidditch
Spending part of almost every day with the team, and being sad when you spend more than a day apart from them...
Going to practice even when I felt like crap and wasn't going to play just so I could see everyone because so much quove <3
The World Cup, obviously. Great times, even though I was feeling a bit off for some of it. Dinner in Chinatown, watching the team play, just feeling all this great nerdy energy...
Girl's night... enough said.
Secret Snitch: sweet and bittersweet. I know that people have to graduate but whyyyy? The finale of A Very Potter Sequel was running through my head... [unabashed cheesiness]
There's probably more, but I'm sure someone else will submit those..
