D1 did not make her sportsball team, so I guess I dodged a bullet there.   That means a LOT fewer trips, pickups, and weekends that are not our own.   Last year she was a walk on, but this year there were 40 girls trying for 20 spots.  She&#8217;s not exactly heartbroken, as she is pretty ambivalent about sports anyway.<\/p>\n<p>Life is what happens while you are waiting for other stuff&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t forget to live your life while waiting for the zombies to come.
