Groceries and Football
I tried a new method today! I packed my ipod and a book and took a 45 min bus ride outside the city to a big grocery store called Tesco. I brought with me one of those huge blue bags from IKEA and put all my groceries in that for the bus ride home. This Tesco was a full size store (unlike the condensed versions in the city) so it had more variety and better sales.
It may have taken 3 hours from start to finish, but next time (if I don't get on the wrong bus--twice), I think I can get it down to 2 or so...and lucky Dave doesn't have to go with me! :)
I have my first program meeting for Uni tomorrow, and soccer tryouts are on Friday...! I don't know if I'll play or not, just thought it might be a good way to meet people and get some mid-week exercise. Apparently athletics are not nearly as big a priority for Universities here compared to the States. At BSU we practiced everyday for 2 hours, lifted weights 3 days a week and traveled every weekend. Here, the "First" team (the best team) practices once a week (Wednesday nights) and plays a game on Saturday...which isn't to say that I will by any means make the First team, but that would be the most commitment I would have to give...anyway, we'll see how it goes Friday...I'm already nervous.

kate,
you should do this. you will make the first team. and you will eventually lead scotland to its first world cup championship.
i'm so proud of you already.

I fondly recall being on the sidelines during those exciting NNHS State Playoff Finals. You the one. Go for it.
Kate, I truly hope you make the team. That would be sweet! That will be an awesome opportunity to meet some poeple. Also by the way... i have your soccer ball and i love to kick it around with my dogs. we get alot of use out of it!
ha ha, i forgot you have my soccer ball J! glad it's going to good use! we just went and got a cheap one a couple days ago (along with a frisbee)...
thanks for the support All! I'm not sure what to expect tomorrow, but I figure even if I make the fourth team, it's all about relationships, right? :)
