Coaching Debut = A Win !!!!

So I was really nervous- yes even for 6-8 year olds. But I made it through the game, and my team came up with a 14-10 win. It was awesome. The kids did really good. We had a lot of turnovers, but it was still fun. I think most of the boys would say they enjoyed everything but their mandatory 1 quarter sit on the bench. Anyways, later that day we had a 6-6 tie. All the boys were tire as they all playeed in 2 games that day. After the first overtime went scoreless, we went to a sudden death overtime, like NFL football, the first team to score wins. With about :30 to go one of my players (who also hadn't scored yet) made a 8 foot jumper to win the game. But the ref wiped it out because the youngster took 6 steps to line up the shot. (He really did take 6 steps too). Anyways it was a lot of fun, and we gave the ref a lot of crap afterwards in good jest. I look forward to our next game on Friday.


I have spent several days recently at the library preparing for my comprehensive history exam to become a teacher. A few days ago as I was gathering my study materials to enter the library, I saw two cars back out at the same time, and rear-end each other. Both people got out, and assessed the damage, since they were going a combine 7 MPH they both shook there heads at the other person and left. Seconds later, I noticed a red pick-up truck rolling slowly out of its parking space. It had nobody inside, and rolled across the parking lot and smashed into an SUV. It was pretty funny, seconds later a chubby guy sprinted out of the library door, jumped in his truck, and re-parked. He glanced at the SUV, that had a small dent in the bumper, and then went back inside. I thought it was pretty funny.

Later.
