going for the bakers dozen


i know it only says 11 but i swear it's 12 i just couldn't find a picture!

fun little fact about trinity: our men's squash team has won the national (national!) championship 12 years in a row! not only that, but they haven't even lost a single match in 12 years! unbelievable!! and for those of you who know about sports being divided up into divisions, trinity is a d3 college, however since there are so few squash teams in the nation, they are all at a d1 level. overall, our men's squash team is the bomb. our women's squash team also usually falls within the top three teams in the nation every year. where am i going with this? well as a senior at trinity, i've never played squash, i don't know the rules, and when i watch the matches i usually have no idea what's going on. this semester i decided to change things up, so i joined a squash class at my school (and it's for credit, how cool!). it's AWESOME! i've had three days of it so far and i love being out there. it's so different from any other sport: it's totally contained, you stand directly next to your opponent, and really it's just awesome. even when the class is over i hope i play all the time. it's a great sport to get into and as long as there are facilities around you it's a sport that you can play for a LONG time after college. anyone game?
