Dear Unannounced Mission Bowl Date,

You are putting my life to a complete standstill and frankly it’s been getting very frustrating.  =

I’m trying to go to Vegas with my friends but I can’t because I need to hold practices and prepare the team.

I’m trying to go to Taiwan with my family but the plans are sort of up in the air because I’m invested in the team and it doesn’t seem right to lead the team up to the tournament date only to say, “hey I’m going on vacation.”  Plus, I actually want to play too.

I signed up for a half marathon at the end of April – please don’t be that weekend.  I already had a hard time picking one because of how “up in the air” the date is.

People are getting married.  R&J, T&K.  I need to be at those.

I need to get commitments.  I need to order jerseys.  I need to finalize things.  I don’t want to have wasted everyone’s time in the past few months.

I know it’s hard to find a field.  My advice for next year would be to look a year in advance.

But please just announce the date – even if it’s way later.  At least, I can go on with my life.

Yes, the announced date is really putting my life at a standstill.

Please.

Also, that will keep everyone from asking me and asking me and asking me when it is – because I obviously don’t know.

Thanks.
