…That I started watching Game of Thrones! Real topical news, I know, but the trips I’ve taken to see where all they have filmed have inspired me to enhance my culture. Also, I have a decent break from school and coaching right now. In Sligo, we take our finals after Christmas and the new year starts. I just finished my four finals last week and now have a two week break from school, which is plenty of time to gather some articles for my dissertation while also binge watching GoT. Basketball for the Sligo boys is going well at the moment too [knocks on wood] and we have a game tonight vs. a team with another American on it with a lot of hype around him. It should be a good game and I plan on meeting him at the rim. As far as coaching, I coach the under 16’s team for my club and they have a tournament coming up that we have been preparing for. The practice with them can be frustrating in terms of participation because they have so much potential, which is why I’ve set up time with their school coach to coach them at their school and bother them even more! That will start when they are back in school in the coming weeks and Zack and I are excited to continue developing them with a little more detail and time.
But back to Game of Thrones! The Lannisters just rub me the wrong way. I’m nearing the end of season one, so I’m at the point where Joffrey thinks he’s king and Ned is in the dungeon. It’s completely diabolical on Cersei’s part and I cannot stand it!
Okay, back to regular updates. SCL is setting up a snapchat take over every day with the scholars so that they can show what they life is like over here. If you want to see that add them at Sport Changes Life on Snapchat. I have certain dates that I will take over the account and can let you know when they are when I know because lets be honest why wouldn’t you want to follow my extraordinary adventures?
That’s all I’ve got for you for now, and in honor of the new show, here’s a Game of Thrones joke:
Why doesn’t Cersei have kittens?
Because a Lannister always spays their pets
