This week I started takeing drivers ed at one of the local driveing schools. After today, I have 4 of my 6 hours of driveing that is required to pass the class. Today we worked on parallel parking, it really wasn't as bad as I was expecting. I was expecting a lot of elaborate steps to the process but it was actually really easy. Before I can get my drivers license I need to get 20 hours of driveing with 4 of them being at night. I have 10 hours and 1 hour and 5 mins are at night.

Swimming Lessons
Starting yesterday, I started takeing swimming lessons from a guy at my church named Rick Loeffelholz. I got there and he had me swim across the pool with the little knowledge of swimming that I had. Then we had some lessons and he taught me how to different strokes, by the end even I could tell that there had been improvement on my part. Then at the end he taught me how to dive in to the water and that was a lot of fun.

Soccer Tournament in Kalamazoo MI
Last weekend I guest played for a soccer team that is based in Iowa City. I have played against them before but this was my first time playing with them.
After a 6 or 7 hour drive, of which I drove 2 hours, we arrived in Kalamazoo with plenty of time to warmup before our first game. The first game didn't go to well, we lost 5-2. The other team scored the first goal and held on to the lead to finish the first half. At the start of the second half we came out strong and scored a goal. The goal was very good, I got the ball and passed it to another player in the middle, he turned and shot from probably 30 yards out and chipped the goalkeeper. After that the other team scored two more goals. We answered with a goal off of a penalty. But it wasn't enough to keep us in the game. They scored a couple more goals and the game was over.
The following day we had our second game which was much better all around. We started really well and went up a goal quickly in to the game. Despite controlling practically the entire half, we went in to half time with the score 1-1. In the second half we agian controlled the run of play but weren't able to come out on top. The game ended 3-2.
Our third and final game was by far our best game of the tournament. We played really well and domintaed the entire game. The final score was 6-1.

More sitting for long periods of time.
The other day I tried again to go sit outside for a while and just think/do nothing. The only difference was that my mother wanted me to try and define contentment..... so, here we go. I think contentment is a state of being, where you are happy and content with what you have at the moment. And that is basicly what I came up with.

I am back!!
It has been a long time since I last wrote on this blog, but I am planning to start up again over the summer.
Today my mother and I had a sort of experiment. We went outside, chose a spot, and sat for about 20 minutes just basicly doing nothing. No music, no books, no nothing. It was a good start I would say, but it wasn't great. I almost fell asleep at least once. So, I didn't get much of the reflective part. I will try again and update.
