basketball
School has been going pretty well recently. I haven´t had too much school work to do, but I have started to have more extracurricular things going on. Brian and I have been coaching the men´s basketball team for the last two weeks and we had our first game yesterday. We ended up having to forfeit because we didn´t have all matching uniforms (the uniforms didn´t arrive in time), so the guys were pretty disappointed. We have a couple of good players on the team and the rest aren´t so good- they haven´t played organized basketball before and they all have short attention spans. Hopefully they will learn more as the year goes on. I also agreed to be the girl´s basketball coach and tomorrow is our first practice. I will probably have to stop doing as much with the boy´s team and just work with the girls, but I am not sure how long the girl´s team will be around. They only have six girls and they are not very experienced. So it should be interesting coaching them...Tonight I am playing guitar in the mid-week service and then tomorrow I am in charge of our weekly chapel. I am having some guys from a local ministry, called the Micah Project, come and talk. It is a ministry that pulls guys from the streets and then disciples them as they live in a house together and are homeschooled. They also have formed a Christian reggaeton group (a type of music that blends rap with a latin beat) and they are going to play tomorrow too.
The Seniors have started raising money for our haircuts now. They have two big jugs with our pictures on them that they carry around and solicit donations from the rest of the school. They raised a good amount of money so far, so it looks like they might reach their goal. Brian will probably be the first to have to cut his hair because they are focusing on him first (most of the kids would rather see him cut his hair than me for whatever reason).
Not much else has really been going on... we went to the movies last week- Tuesday is half-price day and so you can see 1st-run movies for a $1, a pretty good deal. We are looking forward to next week and Thanksgiving. We have school for two and a half days and then we haven´t quite decided what we are going to be doing after that- either cooking ourselves or going over to Erin Sheehy´s for a big get together.
