I made soup

It's been a while, and I have lots of news. First and formost- I made soup...it's alright.(barley, carrot, potato, chicken, vegstock)

I am back to soccer practice tomorrow, which is exciting I have been running around a bit and my leg is feeling much better so lets hope it stays sound. We won the first game of the season on saturday so we're off to a good start. The girls team I coach had a trial game on sunday, and despite some very solid play we lost 1-0. It could be forgiven however as last night was the pubcrawl for the men's & women's teams, everyone (myself included) was feeling a bit slow today.
I had my first welcome(back) to college moment last week when I spent many, many, many hours studying for a finance maths test and I just felt I wasn't getting it. However, in the 50,000th hour of study it all started to make sense and I feel confident it went well... I find out my score tomorrow morning so finger crossed. This school stuff actually takes a dedicated amount of time and I have started treating it like a job- where I get up and put in x number of hours a day until it's done. Now I only have 1 paper, and one test before fall(spring) break when I get to see my parents and take a couple weeks away from class.
In addition to wrapping up the first half of the first semester I am hoping to get some training time in helping out with the swim teaching at university. It's the next step in becoming Austswim certified so that I can teach swimming and go back to work, sadly. I passed the written test last week and now I need to observe and help out until I feel confident to take my own class and get graded for that and my lesson plans.

Ok that's enough for now- I am going to post some pictures that i have stored up then get back to homework.. have a great week everyone.

Wow... 13 days

Sorry it's been 13 days everyone.. I am sure not a single person minded, but I was trying not to miss a day. So I will start again.
Leeeetsss seeee... We're comfortably moved in, I have figured out the train schedule to school and the weather is finally cooling enough that I am not getting heat-stroke on a daily basis.
I am on the Mac Uni super league team (go look up the divisions, i don't understand it myself), and I am coaching the 5th division women's team. The social team, which I am sure the girls thought it would be a lot more fun and less running... but we changed that last weekend. Those of you who have ever run for Coach Covell (senior) know about some of the brutal runs we did last week.
Then i (again) pulled my hip flexor and it looks like i am laid up for about 3-4 weeks... So no more running for a bit.
Other than that things are going swimmingly, I have realized how much time school actually takes, but it is nice to get assignments done. (and even better than a job where your boss takes all the credit)
Leah's still putting up with me, so that's a good sign. Paul came to the rescue about wifi internet- so while we still don't have a home based internet, but now I dont' have to beg borrow and steal the internets from around town (and school)
I will take some pictures of the house tomorrow for posts. But it's 10 and I am going to hit the bed.
G'night ya'll

Almost 5 weeks

Time has been flying by! Some good news today, I was able to get into the upperlevel law class... I just need to talk to the professor to make sure I am going to be up to speed.
Additionally I have been asked to play for another team as well - so mu schedule is filling up. OK good night.

Bring on the pain

Training is getting intense. It takes me back to 2-a-days in high school, not as hot out but much more humid. There is a new american guy trying out for the team... from fort collins so that's pretty interesting. The American guys are all under 21, so they are really loving the workouts after drinking all night. And leah ran 10.5k's at the gym tonight, so we're both hurting.
Additionally we're headed to a very bonding night, as we both have stomach aches... maybe.
I got some new shoes in the mail for my bday from the parents! So thanks guys.
We are slated to move on friday! I am excited for many reasons, also very ready to get out of this house!
Ok talk to everyone tomorrow

I Say, NO to pilates

At least, that's what i say to Leah when she tries to get me to go to pilates.

Had the first practice with the team i am coaching. They need lots of work, mostly in the form of conditioning training- so running time. Also- I am apparently 'Jonny' again thanks to some of the guys I coach with... grrr

Good night.
