Chasing the cow
Hey,
in the last 2 weeks some cool things happened. First of all I'll tell about my basketball training and the games. We had 4 games and we're 2/2 right now. I'm not the on who makes many points, but I get about 8 assists and 6 rebounds every game. But I have an average of just 3 Points per game.Training is going pretty good and I learn many new things, especally defense. I never played zone defense in Germany although I'm pretty good at it now. A bad thing is, that I lost my starting 5 position, because one guy in our team quit, so we needed an other player. After one week a varsity player joined us, and of course he's better then me. An other things is that I'm one step closer to dunk a basketball on a 10ft hoop :D
Now I'm able to grab the rim every time i try...almost every time :) no just a few more inches and I'm good :D
Last practce we had a little contest with the C team. We played them, we had a shoot out and a dunk contest on an 8ft hoop. I was dunking for the GV Team. And I won. I went under the hoop, and made a "reverse up and down dunk" or whatever. I think this name describes it the best :D
Well, tomorrow is another game and I hope I will score more points this time.
And after waiting so long (about 4 weeks) my parents package arrived here. After I saw it I was happy that It even made it here, because it looked soo bad. The sides were ripped open, everything was scratched and dirty. But the content of the box was fine. My parents sent me some "Adventskalender" for me and my family, and a bunch of sweets. They also sent me my snowboarding outfit: snow goggles, snow pants, a scarf, and some long underwear. Some of the underwear was new, and I think you aren't supposed to send new thinks, so the guy from the custom check (Zollkontrolle) wrote a little note, that he should have taken the new things out, but he saw the sweets and figured it was for christmas, so he didn't take them out. I thought that was pretty cool :D
Ok, the next thing I'll tell you explains the heading. Last sunday, I was watching the Packers game. They played the Vkings and won !! While me and the other family members were watching the game, a woman asked us to come out and help them catching two cows.
Two cows from a farm nxt to our house (well.. about 600m away) escaped and ran across the highway, peoples yards and right through the woods. So we tried to make the one cow (we split our group because one cow ran across the highway, the other in the woods) which was in the woods to walk away from the roads and then to the farm. We had a hard time doing that. I took us about an hour and a half to bring the cow back to the farm, but when I think about it it was fun! A neighbour gave me a ride home with his fourwheeler. We just went through the field. That was pretty cool, too.
Next week is midterm and in just 19 days Christmas is here.
