Hello everyone!
So, I've officially been here for over a month! Whoooo hoooo! And things are still going great! I still love my teammates, still having a great time with my host family, and have met some cool people along the way.
So, since the last time I've written, I've had two games. We've won both =). The first was against Mohringen. We won 66-36. The game was really physical and there were a lot of foul calls, and a lot of no calls. At some points it was just really ugly basketball. Needless to say, I was happy when the game was over. Oh, and I fouled out. I played most of the first half, and basically none of the second half. Our second game was this last Saturday. We played Linkenheim at home. We won 80-65. So, I'm happy to report that we are still undefeated and atop the league. Our next game is against Ludwigsburg, at their place. It is about an hour and a half from here, so another little road trip =).
I have been going to German lessons for a couple weeks now =). I'm working with a family friend of one of my teammates. She is very nice and we clicked from the first time we met. I've had a few sessions so far, and I've picked up a few things along the way =). It is cool cause I have been starting to understand a few words and phrases here and there when my host family talks, or my teammates/coach. The progress has been nice =).
We have next weekend off from ball, so I've been trying to figure out what I will do. It also is the weekend before my birthday, so I think it would be nice to do something other than stay in Heidelberg, not that I don't love it here ;). I have an idea of what I'm going to do, but I'll just wait to share details and pictures after it all happens, hehe.
Well, I think that's it from me for now.
I hope all is well back in the states =)
Smiles and hugs,
Serena
