Tough, tough week!

My computer broke again... but it's back now so I'm happy.

Annnnnd I lost another teammate. He wasn't even here for two weeks! It's been rough constantly changing teammates; I feel like as soon as I start really getting close to them they leave.

We are 0-4 now, by a total of 12 points!!! We've been so close every game, hopefully this week we break through.

On Friday I had my first double double this season and we lost by one point! But let's back up to before the game. My name. You remember last week I put tape over my away jersey. I came to the gym fully prepared to do the same to my home jersey. I pick up my jersey, and to my surprise they fixed it!...or at least tried...

Close... but no cigar

Mucho mejor!

I mean I would give them an 'A' for effort, but that's the letter they messed up on!


After I corrected my name - again - we went out there and lost a tough game. After the game, I was named the player of the game and they gave me a bottle of white wine! My goal is to open a winery by the end of the season :)


Sunday we had a game against our rivals! It would be like UVA playing Hokies (it took a lot for me not to insert a degrading comment here). As you would expect, the game was tough and fierce. But before the game I had a little surprise...

I left this picture large on purpose :)

 Third time is a charm! The game came down to the last possession. We were down 3 with 9 seconds left. We missed the 3 to tie the game but I got the offensive rebound. I ran as fast as I could to the 3-point line and got off a decent shot...missed just short. Man that would have been a great first career three pointer!

Understandably, I was upset about the game. I was eating with a couple teammates after the game thinking about how close we were. I got the urge to use the restroom so I stood up, looked around, saw an 'M' on the bathroom and headed straight for it... In my preoccupied state, I forgot that I was in Argentina, and not the US... and the 'M' stands for Mujeres not Male...

Luckily no one was in there, however, a waiter came and told me that I was in the wrong bathroom! Quite embarrassing. My teammates and I got a good laugh out of that one; it was just what we needed too.

On to the next game!!!
