Good Start

It sure does take some cold to know the sun. That's what I was missing so much today, the sun. It really sucked that we had to stay indoors the entire day of our soccer camp; even so, it was a lot of fun and sweat.

July kick started itself to a very awesome month so far. The first couple of days was loaded with Dany Heatley drama, so following it, and free agent frenzy, kept me busy for these days. Then the weekend arrived and it was time for the ECBC floor hockey tournament; it was NEAC's first time participating, but they do it every year, so I'll still refer to it as annual. Going into this tournament for the first time, we obviously did not know what to expect out of it. However, I, for one, knew that we would be in for a tough tournament because we are all skinny little small chinese kids from a north side that is too "ghetto" to be playing hockey. I entered this tournament expecting one win, for the team, and one goal, for myself. After the first day, the predictions, or expectations, were complete. I scored a goal, and we won our first game - barely. We got our butts handed to us for the second and fourth game, and the third game was a very disappointing loss, because we really should have won. Since we're all guaranteed at least one playoff game, I thought that we might be able to win one, should we be placed into a tiebreaker match. Then bring on Sunday.

So, after watching the first day, we KNEW that if we had won the first game, we would still get our asses handed to us right after because we were facing the defending champs. In the end, we did win the first game, and to add a cherry on top, I scored a hattrick and Jeff had a shutout. However, it was short lived, because we got beat 25-2 right after. Haha, I even mentioned the score!

After a fun and satisfying hockey tournament, we changed gears - well, shoes into cleats to be specific - and prepared for soccer camp with AIA. I was really happy to be able to help assist in coaching again after I missed last year's camp due to my internship with UP. The first day of camp was a load of fun, and very tiring. Today, was also new and fun, because we had to stay indoors due to the dumb rain. So now we're all praying for sun for the rest of the week, although the forecast is calling for thunderstorms for the next couple of days. Hopefully, all goes well and we get to at least go outside for tomorrow and Thursday.

I'm feeling like I'm in much better shape now, in case anyone was wondering (= and also, looking forward to a much more eventful rest of July!
