Whats up everyone,

I thought my blogging session was over on Sunday but apparently that wasn't the case since I still see my face smack dab on the homepage. 

This week we are free from games which normally is terrible feeling because for one we seem to practice extra hard when we have a 10 day break, second we run for 30 minutes outside after a 2 hour practice to get rid of lactid acid, and third we have to wait so long to get our game faces back on.  This morning we had a short practice where we got the opportunity to individually fine tune our game and work on some of the things that we could get better at in games.  Me and Toni work as a team in these sessions and we work on a lot of shooting, passing and defense.  After morning practice we all went over to Andreas for lunch...STILL NO MEAT PATTIES!!!!!  LOL.  I know that makes Kingma angry because he always raves about how delicious they are and how it gives him a full days worth of protein.

 I recently started a new book called "Them" by Nathan McCall.  So far this book has been really interesting.  The word "Them" referrs to the opposite race.  From one perspective there is a black man who wants to fit into a society that is dominated by white people and on the other hand there is a white couple who moves into a majority black neighborhood and they are finding it hard to fit in.  Its kind of like two books in one.  This book is especially interesting to me because I have lived both of these situations.  I know through experience how hard it is to be in a situation when it seems like no one is like you.  I have lived in places where it is rare to see African Americans and often felt like the whole room was starring at me.   So at times when I'm reading this book I feel like someone is actually writing about me.  Overall, a very interesting and eye opening book so far. I will let you guys know how it ends. The back of the book says that there is a dramatic and surprising ending so I'm looking forward to that.

Well thats all for today.  Tomorrow we have a day off so hopefully I will get lost in this book and get about 100 pages in.  Thanks for checking out my blog...I guess I'll be here all week...Chao!!
