John Mayer Taking Over Summer!

Hey everyone! Hope you're all having an amazing summer, as I am.

Okay so as some of you might not have known, John Mayer was in the tristate area, doing some concerts for his summer tour. My friend Catie won tickets through Z100 to go see him, upclose and personal, at Spotlight Live (or the ZLounge) in New York City last Tuesday and asked me if I wanted to go. Of course I said yes, just because I love him, and it was my birthday. :D I came prepared, with a birthday crown on my head and a sign in my hand. So after 6 hours of waiting, John finally came out on stage. It was one of the greatest moments of my life; my favorite singer, 5 feet away from me. As the show went on, some of the audience, along with my friend Catie, got to ask him questions. He sang 4 songs: Say, Belief, (my favorite song by him :]), Free Fallin', and Waiting on the World to Change. In between songs, he sang "happy bithday" to me, and at the end of his show, reached over the girls in front of me, and gave me his guitar pic; I nearly died. Definately the best birthday present ever. Hahaha.

Then, this week on Tuesday, I went to his concert with 4 of my friends at PNC Bank Art Center for the second time. It was such a great concert. I knew almost every one of his songs and sang them loud and clear. It was such an amazing night. I hope some of you freshman are huge John Mayer fans like I am!! :]

SUMMER & UC SOCCER

Hi everyone, I hope your summer is going well. Summer has been so busy for me. I'm anxious about the upcoming soccer try outs in august. Tryouts are always nerve racking and really put you on the edge of your seat. I heard a lot of freshman are coming and ready to start playing. I'm starting to run and get in the game again. Every Thursday at 6:30 the varsity team has captain practices and invites everyone to join them. Its a great way to start meeting the rest of the team. As an incoming freshman last year I was very scared to meet the other girls, so I never went. But now you have a friend ~ so come. I'm amazed at how quick summers going! Sophomore year here
I come! Freshman year was one of the best years of my life, I know your all going to love it, and I'm excited to see you all in September, or at soccer practice.

July

Hey everyone. Hope you are all enjoying your summer! So far, the weather over all has been great and hot; perfect for the beach!

So just last week, open gyms started for incoming freshman and current students of Union Catholic who plan to try out and play basketball in the winter season. It is a great opportunity to work on your skills and just start to get to know the other players. The next open gym is on July 10th from 6:00-8:00. Future dates will be posted, or you can find them on Coach Matthew's school notes page. (click on parents at top of page; go to academics and click on school notes; go to educator and click on school notes; click on Kathy Matthews)

I hope you all are not being too busy, because there is enough time during the school year for busy. Lay back and relax; there is still much more summer to go!
