The last free week

This past week has been my last free week before work starts. I have to be at my school at 9 am on Wednesday to check in and figure out what im going to be doing this year and what classes im going to be working with.

Rewind.

This weekend was the first frisbee tournament with the team I'm playing for here in Madrid, Los Quijotes. It was a small tournament so the squad (Co-Ed) split into two teams. My team was balling out of control all weekend and we ended up winning all of our games and winning the gold. Not that huge of an accomplishment but definitely better than not winning. It felt great to play ultimate again but ultimate in Europe is totally different from ultimate in the states. After every game, rather than just shaking hands in a line, you have to get in a circle with the other team and the captains talk about the game and about the strengths of the other team. Then you play a game with the other team (like in womens ultimate!). plus you have to shake all the dudes hands and give all the chicks two cheek kisses and they are all sweaty and shit (sometimes this happens twice which is the worst). In the states, ultimate is way more intense and way more about winning. It will definitely take some time for me to adjust to that. The Spanish national frisbee championship is in November so get ready for me to win that too.

We finally signed the leased on our apartment. The new furniture is almost all moved in, all except for Chris' bed which makes sleeping there a problem. However, we did start moving our stuff from my grandmother's apartment because we will be sleeping in the new apartment for the first time tomorrow night. Exciting, I know. I'll take pictures once we get everything moved in.

Another update for sure once i start work.
