aboot 6 pm here. i'm catching myself turning all my ou's into oo's. 6 to 1 atvantage canada. we had weights today and that was cool. being the strongest guy on a volleyball team is like being the coolest kid on the little bus. "big whoop" as grama hall would say, then knock back a vodka-fresca (fresky?) and start up the breath machine. after weights we ate schnitzel or something. that's pretty much been my day. i've attempted two naps, 2 pages about continental axis's, and two trips to the only place of interest within walking distance. my left calf is strained and we have practice in a half hour. i'm gonna stretch it out and try to play on it, but it's kinda swollen. again no ice. i've actually been really bored all day. without a car or anyone who cares to show me around town i'm kinda stranded. there is a really nice lake west of here that i want to check out, but it's too far on bike and i'd hate to miss practice because i couldn't figure out the bus system in time. the canadians seem content with watching movies and the canada games all day, but i really want to get out and see somethings. our coach left today on a weekend trip with his wife so i'm guessing there won't be any runs tomorrow. this is good.
it's been a weird last 24 hours here. i have been feeling really uneasy about this place. i'm surrounded by cornfields and have nothing to really do besides put goldbond in my shoes and check facebook. i was told i could get a job to kill some time between practices, but no one else works and i haven't heard back from the team manager. i'm noticing that nobody really speaks english either. i've learned to approach people in spanish if i have a question or need directions. i guess spanish is better than american. it's getting late in the month and i really need to finalize everything here and set everything up. i guess most of my uneasyness comes from not having all my needs met yet.
more later. gotta get ready for practice now...
