.....and then we lost.....

So as the title of this blog so subtly hints at, we lost our first water polo game in the liga yesterday. Up by 4 at the end of the first, and with a 2 goal lead most of the game we let up and got beat in the last 3 minutes of the game...very disappointing as this team was the second placed team and a win over them would be huge. I however am not all that upset as I think that losing every once-in-awhile is good for a team and will hopefully motivate my teamates and coaches a bit more. Still not really happy with practice as we can go 2 - 3 days a week without touching a ball, which I think is ridiculous, and the extent of our "Strategic" practices are scrimmages against other teams. Learn by doing is great, but sometimes you need to take baby steps in that direction.
This was my first game in almost a month as I had to sit 1 out due to my pinched nerve, and we had 2 weekends off. I felt pretty shitty but played really well scoring 2, and stopping their primary offensive player, the 2 meter man, from scoring any goals...

Anywho, had a good college friend Debbie visiting this weekend with 4 of her friends from LSE. They had a lot of fun and while I didnt get to hang out with Debbie as much as I liked, due to the polo game as well as not wanting to go do the same touristy thing's ive already done twice or three times now, I think they had a lot of fun.

I've found a new website to download movies and tv shows. Which is good and bad. Good cause its almost free and my itunes bill was getting LARGE. Bad cause now I have tons of access to shit that I dont need to watch as I should be doing something else during....eh such is life.

Had my HBS interview this week in Madrid, dominated, so everyone cross your fingers for me

aight just that quick update...happy holidays and new years to everyone. I'm looking forward to spending a few days in manchester with the rents, hope everyone has a good crisis free holiday season.
