Third Time's a Charm

Scored my first try today against PJC! Not just my first try for AC, my first try.

Ever.

After 5 years in the game, on my third game for AC. Like I said, three's a charm!

Happened right after the first try in the second half. Keith caught the ball and burned his way through for 50 meters before going down a meter before the try line. Prentice got stopped half a meter before it. Someone kindly cleared the ruck before I finally plodded my way there from the halfway line.

So there the ball was, just exposed there. I ran totally on instincts I never knew I had. Grabbed ball, jumped over ruck without landing on too many people, put ball down.

I heard the referee blow a punctured sounding whistle, which could have meant various things

1. Try
2. No try
3. I need a new whistle
4. Hot damn, I'm tired...

I only got confirmation when Keith looked at me incredulously and said "Micro, did you just score?!?!". So, with the rest of the team staring at me with shock/amazement, I replied with my standard answer. "Huh?"

That was enough to keep me powered and moving at full speed until we hit 80-0.

It's a very good week. I scored for the first time *ever*, Prentice is happy again since he managed to come on in the second half just after me and score as well, Isa doesn't seem so pissed off at me since my scrum form improved.

I've picked up my class rep badge, PW teacher has OK'ed my PI ideas, and I have a B, possibly moving up to A for Physics.

Only bitch in the week so far is that I failed maths. Damn.
