The other day at practice the local newspaper from Hammelinna did a story about me playing for the team. They took a few pictures and a guy interviewed me, and thankfully he spoke english very well! Although I do not like doing interviews and stuff this time I did not really mind because I have no idea what the article would say since it was all in Finnish! ha! He asked me typical questions like how am I liking it here, what was my first impression of the team, how do you think the league is here in Finland, what kind of player am I, how do I like living in a small town and if I was excited to start playing. So I hope I answered everything so that he could understand and translate it into his article easily and correctly! Maybe I will have to spend a day on the internet using google language tool to translate the article so I know what it says!
But everything has been going good here. We practice everyday except for the weekends but preseason is about to start and then it will get pretty busy traveling and playing in tournaments. We will play a few tournaments here in Finland and then one in France. It will be fun to go to France again. We do weights on Monday, Wednesday and Friday morning and then practice at night and then on Tuesdays and Thursdays we practice both in the morning and night. Im excited to be doing the weights again with the team, so much easier and better to work out with a team then all alone! I will finally move into my apartment on Sept 1st! Im so excited! I can finally unpack my stuff and settle in and no more sleeping on an air mattress! yessssss! So I will post some pics of my new place when I move in a few days!!
