Keeping up with dani

So things have been pretty busy on the home front. school started, ALREADY at midterms, which i think is insane, we just started! i guess i better get my act together! We moved into our new house, its such an amazing feeling to be home again even if it is still under construction (see previous blog).

And since Italy didn't happen ( i WILL study abroad...someday), i decided that i didn't want to sit at home all the time, and since i'm not a super social person, i knew that would be exactly what happened if i did. So, on a whim, i signed up to coach a u6 girls soccer team. I remember when my dad coached me and how much fun i had with him, and i wanted to make him proud. So, for three days every week, i spend an afternoon with six rambuncious girls who have the attention span of a goldfish, but i wouldn't trade it for anything. Our team name is the 'red sparkles' how cute is that?! I think this is something i want to do again, plus, it's good practice for my major (and really, really good birth control!)

And in my attempts to be more social, i have been trying to get out more and do things with people my own age. I still feel extremely uncomfortable sometimes, because i just don't understand why they do half the things they do, but i sit back and watch as they partake in whatever it is they are doing, in order to show that i am making the effort.
