Hello my lovely blog followers!!! Sorry I have been absent for a couple weeks from writing my blog. In the past couple weeks not much has gone on besides the start of our season officially =) The week before last I got sick and went to get some meds and found out I had streap throat. In Sweden they are a lot more careful when it comes to sicknesses and they want you to rest as much as you can so you fully recover and don't get even sicker. Me being the way I am I had about a days rest and was ready to go again. My coach would not let me practice all week however, but I talked him into letting me travel for our first regular season game on Saturday. The doctors put me on penicillin and my coach thought it wasn't a good idea to play when I was taking that and I needed to rest as much as possible. I got to play the last 30 minutes of our first game and we ended up tying 1-1. We played well, but we didn't finish some chances and we were the better team and should have won the game. After the game we had about a four bus ride back to Sunne. It was a very fun ride and I studied with one of the girls on our team who is in Chiropractic school in England, we tried to learn some more Swedish, and laughed a lot =)
This past week it was another normal week and I was working at the school this week. My coach still didn't let me practice the whole practice for the first couple days this week, but by Wednesday I was back in full swing. I had also been going to the gym on my own in the mornings and running on my own to get back to feeling normal. It was a great week of practice and the first time we practiced outdoors all week. It has still been very crappy, cold weather and I have not enjoyed that at all. It snowed a couple days this past week. We also had our first practice on our home field in Mallbacken. It is in very rough condition seeing as winter has gone on for so long. It is very bumpy and had divots all over. Today we had our second game of the season and it was suppose to be on our home field, but because of the snow we had to move it to a turf field close by. The weather actually ended up clearing up a little and being sunny for part of our game. Our team played a great game and we won 4-2 against a very strong team. We played the best we have yet since I have been here and it seemed as if everyone was "on". Our forwards did very well and finished most of the chances we had. Towards the end of the game the other team was getting very frustrating and started to get physical and they were taking some dirty shots at our players. Luckily we came away with the win and ended up getting three points. It was a very good game and our coach was very happy with us. After two games we are now sitting at first place in our league =)
Tonight Katie and I tried out a new chinese restaurant in town and went to check out a pub, but because we live in a very small town everything was already closed =) haha We ended up picking up some drinks at the store and coming back to our apartment to watch some movies!! Good ending to a great day and happy to get the win!!! Tomorrow will be a chill day and hopefully the weather starts warming up and feeling like Spring soon!!!
