soccer, sailing, cycling, and cash

we lost our soccer game again this morning by a score of 3-2, but played well, and almost tied it at the last minute. though we still aren't winning, it's hard to be frustrated when i see the improvement we've made since we started in the fall. just playing together for six months has helped us a lot. we make better passes, play our positions with more confidence, and i feel like our lack of wins is just a fluke of bad luck, not due to a lack of skill.

anyway. last night i had my first of three sailing classes, and it went well. last night was a bit boring because we were just sitting in a classroom learning the names of all the parts of a sail and a boat and being taught the basics of sailing maneuvers and such. but i'm excited for next week, when we get to mess around with a sailboat in the parking lot, and then the following week, when we actually go out on the water. ever since i went sailing on the pamlico sound on the bike trip i took at the end of 9th grade, i've thought it would be great to learn how to sail, and now i'm finally doing it! hooray!

i'm off to sun & ski to check out their road bikes, and hoping to find one that's reasonably affordable.

oh!! i can't believe i almost forgot to mention this! incredibly, i won another $500 yesterday from t-mobile for a picture of jason and debbie. check it out. that's $1100 and counting... i am so in love with my phone it's not even funny, and am on a great lucky streak. i think i should go to vegas.
