And no, I'm not talking about our national team. I've joined a coed house team at Ultimate Soccer which was incidentally named Team USA and is made up of germans, serbians, and then some americans, of course. (I seem to be the only person that thinks our team name is hilarious.) When I first arrived and noticed that most of them were european, all I could think of was how much bigger soccer is over there and that they would all probably be really amazing. Well, so far our whole team is pretty amazing and we've been slaughtering everyone we play. It's just been crazy. Part of the time I go from feeling somewhat pathetic (like getting hit square in the face by the ball) to feeling like maybe I'm doing pretty good.

To give a little perspective, I played soccer from when I was 5 years old to a varsity soccer team in high school. At our first game one of the guys were complaining about having not played in eight weeks... That's when it really hit me that it has been over a decade since I've last played. (!!!) So with that in mind, I think I'm actually doing great!

Last night we won out third game 11-3.
