Hello all,
After one month of living in Sligo with the always focused and cordial Zack Yonda I can say were finally getting into the swing of things. These past two weeks we started our outreach to the youth in the community by spreading information about basketball camps for the Sligo Allstars Club team. We also visited a primary school this past week to coach and share some of our basketball knowledge with the students. It is nice to see so many kids learning and having fun with a sport they do not have much connection to. I know that all of the Victory Scholars are making in impact like this all over Ireland. I have to say too, we feel like celebrities when we go to schools and children flock us to compare hand and shoe sizes.
Everyone in moved into the student village Zack and I live at but being overly social can be a challenge at times because of our schedule and online heavy masters program. Still though, we have made friends and get into town often for groceries or watch an occasional movie. I have slowed down on the hiking adventures until my boots arrive from home (thanks for finding them again mom). Basketball is all well and good too. we have practice every other day for our club team and the university team is starting practice and games in a week or two as well.
In other news, spiders that are a bit larger than I’m used to think it is okay to crash at my house and more specifically in Zack’s bathroom. These guys are always shocking to find, but after we name and train them the family dynamic in our house gets so much better. It is almost October and I think I can pull together some sort of spider related costume for my favorite holiday. Just you wait I’ll have a Halloween specific post for you all.
I’m going to try and find a joke every time I post from here on out, so to christen the matter, here you go…
My dad was very upset to find out the pet bunnies escaped. It was his worst fear growing up too… hare loss.
(not expecting any laughs)
Until next time y’all!
