The crown jewel

Today was a success. Even though I was so tired during school, and I skipped 2 classes and its only the 2nd week of the semester, that doesn't even matter because today, I accomplished something of extreme significance.

First, some background. In the French house, there is a foosball table, however in french its called babyfoot. Anyways, So, in uh maybe November, me and Christina have started to play. Never played before. Abraham finally insisted we learn. He's been teaching us/playing with us even when we were absolutely horrible. The first game we played with him, it was me and Christina on a team, against Abe, who was only allowed to use one arm. He beat us. bad. 10 to 1. Yeah.

But we've been getting a lot better. It's very encouraging. But the thing is that well, we've been doing pretty well, me and Christina, but we usually can't play on the same team, and win. We play on opposite teams, usually with either David, or Abe, or some other people.

But not tonight.

Tonight, me and Christina played on the same team. I was defense, she was offense. We played against Gab and Gina, who are both very good fussball players. The first part of the game, we were trailing by just a few points. But then, we tied up at 7 points. Then we were up 9-7. Then they scored, so it was 9-8. By this point, I was so excited that I was shaking. Christina scored the winning goal. Yeaaaaaahhhhh!!!!! FREAK OUT. David and Abe were watching, so there were witnesses.

Suffice it to say, I am very proud of what I have accomplished today. We have come a long way.

Now I we need to switch positions, both me and Christina have only played our one position. I am nothing at offense, and Christina is nothing at defense.

But that's for another day. Today I am soooo excited!!! woot.
