7.7.10 - 7.11.10 v. 2.19.11 - 2.23.11



Going to the All-Star Practice reminds me of a day in England, after a week and more of hard-searching:

Today I found a basketball court in Cambridge.

There, I played for two some hours with Alex, Caitlin, and Jas. It looks like we will be making more trips here in the very near future.
I guarded Caitlin most of the time. No knock on that though. She plays for Harvard: http://thecrimson.harvard.edu/blog/the-back-page/article/2010/7/26/play-game-team-harvard/
Later went to eat some Korean food, passed by Parker’s Piece since Day 1 and saw many restaurants that I have never seen before, including some tempting pubs.

But then it was back to King's College to watch the Spain-Germany game. All the Englishmen were out in full force to root against the Germans, who had previously ousted their homeland by an embarrassing 4-1 margin.

Watching it in the floor of the King's College Bar was something that I had to remember, but the game was less than that. It was a slow paced game, with both teams measuring their potential opportunities to score.

Puyol put the ball in the back of the net. Done. Spain against Netherlands for it all on Sunday..too bad we had to go to London for Arts Journalism otherwise we definitely would have gone to Amsterdam for the weekend.

During the final championship match, I had my laptop with me to decide to either embark on a journey to Amsterdam or Barcelona. I decided to book Amsterdam half-way in, and Spain closed the deal. I guess Amsterdam would have to do.

Now, I think back on that and reflect on that summer as a whole. Added to all the decisions that I have made up to this point, just tells me again, to live with no regret.
