Hej Hej!!! Not much has been going lately, it's been a pretty slow week. I have mostly just been trying to get on the proper sleep schedule and that has a been a challenge. lol Tuesday was our first "real practice" with the team and it went very well. However, it was freezing and Wednesdays practice it was snowing almost the entire time. After practice it snowed all night and the entire next day. Practice on Thursday was cancelled due to the snow, which was a disappointment for us. Thursday night Katie and I went over to our teammate Sandra's house to watch the Manchester United game. Katie, Sandra, Malin, and Sofie (other teammates) are all Manchester United fans. It was a lot of fun and they were trying to teach us so many Swedish words, it was funny!!! Friday we were off from practice and we were able to get our apartment organized and go to the grocery store, which is always an interesting experience in another country. Friday night I made penna vodka for dinner and it was very delicious. It was our "pre-game" meal for our game today. After that we watched the movie Apollo 13 and went to sleep to rest up for our game. It is funny how most of the TV channels here are all in English with Swedish subtitles and the music is mostly American music also.
Today we had our first scrimmage game and we played against a boys team. We tied 0-0, but it was a great match. Our team played hard and passed the ball around very well overall. I wasn't very satisfied with the way I played because I felt like I wasn't involved in the play as much as I would have liked to have been. However, my performance wasn't too bad and I kept the ball when I got it and passed well. I think that it can only get better from here and things will improve each day in practice and each game. The team is very nice and they always makes sure to tell you good job and they are good at making us feel welcome. Katie and I have been working on our Swedish this week and we will soon be fluent in no time =) We will be able to communicate with the girls easier and we will also be able to teach them English. They are obviously way better at speaking English then we are at Swedish! haha The game today got me very excited for the season and I can't wait to see what is in store for us this year.
Next week we will be getting our passes to the gym and I am very excited for that. We will also be discussing possibilities for job options and possible classes so we can stay busy during the day. Today it was about 50 degrees and sunny out, so it was a pretty nice day. All we keep hearing about is how beautiful Sunne is in the summer and how much stuff there is to do then. Needless to say I am very excited for the weather to start warming up and summer to come!! =))
That is all for now =) More updates to follow! I will try to get some pictures up next week!!
