Today was a very exercised filled day! I woke up a little before 10 this morning and had my usual bowl of cereal... then I laid around a little longer reading my kindle. Around 11 I texted Kelsey to see if she was awake and she rode her bike over here and then we rode our bikes to a discount store in downtown called ÖoB where I bought some conditioner, tweezers, and a 3-pack of juice. I was looking for a loofah but they didn't have one. After the store we rode our bikes down to the harbor and took some pictures. When we parked our bikes to walk a little, a couple men started speaking to us in Swedish so we just kind of acted like we didn't hear them... but then when we came back to get our bikes they started talking again so we just got on our bikes and pedaled away fast.
We got back to the house around 1:15... we ended up biking a little over 6 miles. I then made myself a lunch consisting of an apple and a salad. I then read my book some more and uploaded more pictures to Facebook. Then around 2:45 I decided to go for a run, which was a little over 3.5 miles. After that I changed into my practice clothes and then helped cut up all the vegetables for the salad to go with dinner. We had swedish meatballs which I thought were really good with plain macaroni noodles and then some brown gravy. I watched them put the gravy over their noodles so that's what I did, although some of them put ketchup on their noodles.
We had to eat fast because we didn't sit down for dinner until 5:30 and our practice was at 6, so once we finished we biked down to the field for practice. I explained an outfield drill to them that Coach Majeski told me would work good for practicing the drop step. We spent awhile working on those drills in groups of 2, and then we split into 2 big groups and hit pop ups. Everyone looked so much better catching the fly balls after working on those drills, so thanks Coach Majeski! :) We then split into infield and outfield and they are still so shocked when I "throw myself" at the ball (that's what they call it when I dive for balls). Practice ended up ending around 8:15, and then we had to stay and help pry open some rusted shut doors to a shed over by the old baseball field and then empty out the contents into the dugout. I'm pretty sure we were all standing in poison ivy the whole time, so now I'm all itchy from that and the mosquitoes.
During practice I learned some more Swedish. I don't know how to spell them but I can spell how it sounds: Excuse me = eshecta may; you're welcome = vasha good; bye = heyduor; please = snella; good job = bra yobot; good eye = bra erga; one = et; two = tvuor; three = trea; four = fida; five = fem; six = sex; game = much; ice cream = glos.... I'm working on becoming fluent in Swedish by the time my 4 months are up!
Anywho, I'm in for the night now... will probably shower soon and then just relax. Instead of putting pictures on my blog I am uploading them to Facebook so don't forget to check those out either! :)
