![]() ![]() Here in Berkeley, as our school year starts to wind down, our polo season is really starting to heat up! This week has been our final week of classes for the 2018 Spring semester, and this weekend we will be hosting the MPSF conference tournament at our very own Spieker Aquatics Complex. It's a once in a lifetime experience that none of us will ever forget. Thank you so much for reading this blog over the semester, and thank you to everyone who has helped each and every one of us get to Cal. Each time we suit up this weekend, we will play with a love for water polo, a love for each other and pride to be a Golden Bear. The tone of this blog entry has come off as more of a good-bye than I had intended, but our team is far from done with the 2018 season. I hope that I have been able to convey that to whomever reads this blog. Writing this blog has been a privilege because it have provided me the opportunity to try and express to others just how great it is to be a member of this team. The gratitude I have for this team and this program is twofold from what I could ever put into words. This year we have actively tried to make Cal polo about playing in the moment, and as Carla would say - having fun. We have nothing to save up for or hold back until we only have the moment in front of us, and this weekend that is how we will all be playing. ![]() However, perhaps the short nature of our time together is what makes it so special. ![]() With so many lasts occurring in my life right now, it is challenging to think that this will be our final weekend playing together as a team. 5 of the Berkeley Fire Department, hosted MPSF and were given a tragic reminder of how precious life is. We went through a minor melodrama in Hawaii, discovered new life passions on Engine No. This year has certainly been one to remember with our team, with highs and lows and a lot of laughs along the way. This week marked my last practice as a player at Spieker, my last trip to National Championships as a Bear and my last week as a senior with our team. This blog entry will be sentimental in contrast to previous ones because this weekend marks more than a few "lasts" for me. and ready to play our final tournament together as a team. It's that time of year again, and that means the Bears are in L.A. Senior Kindred Paul gives fans an insiders look at the Cal women's water polo team throughout the 2018 season. ![]()
