So, went to the beach last weekend with some people from my dorm; it was a lot of fun. It always kills me, though, how industrialized the beaches are here in California. I like it here a lot, don't get me wrong, but there's just that green Oregonian inside of me that cries out when I see so much commerce around such a natural environment...hehe. But yeah, was fun. Played some soccer, went swimming.
Sunday was kind of interesting....mainly because I realized I locked my keys in my car after church got out. Doh! What made it even more dynamic is that my phone cell phone is broken. So, I had to borrow someone's cell phone to call AAA. They got my car open in minutes, so it's all good. After I got back to Biola, I played soccer...once at 2:30, another time right after at 4:00....was pretty tired.
Monday, Labor Day, was spent doing a lot of reading...well, with breaks for meals.
Tomorrow I am going to practice with the Men's Soccer Team. I talked to the coach about tryouts, and he said I could just come this week to train with them. I'm nervous and excited. Nervous because I very well know that I am not in prime game-shape, and don't want to embarass myself by puking on the field :p but I am excited because I really have been missing soccer...plus, it would be so cool if the coach at least red shirted me (in case you don't know, to "red shirt" a player is to train him with the team until he is ready and/or a spot opens up on the team).
So, everyone just pray for me. For endurance, confidence, and perseverance.
So that's about it. I just got back from Big 5 Sporting Store to buy some shinguards and soccer socks...brought with me a guy from my floor who wanted to get some cleats (he is training w/ the team this week too). He's a nice guy...actually is from Washington but lived in Korea for a while.
Oh, I didn't mention...last Saturday I played ultimate frisby--a lot of fun. I was diving everywhere and have turf scuffs all over my leg now. No prob, though, not nearly as bad as the ones I had during playoffs last soccer season.
See Ya All! Enjoy the Oregon weather as the Fall kicks in :) :) :)

Good luck on the "Red Shirt". Sounds like you are having a great time there in the land of never ending sunshine. I had to walk your mom through sending me the link to your blog.
