IU Soccer Camp Adventure

     This week I went to IU soccer camp with some Cutter's teammates. I haven't been able to see the dogs in a while. I went to Bradford Woods last week and this week I was at the soccer camp. I arrived Wednesday and unpacked. We then scrimmaged some and the coaches decided what team we were on. I was in division 1, team four. For our World Cup we were team Brazil. Everyday, each division would get together and go to the fields. In the morning, we trained and in the afternoon and evening we played 9 against 9. It was a lot of soccer but I loved it!
     I have to say, the food was great. But not Bradford Woods great. I liked the meals but I didn't stuff myself. I did still have to play soccer.
     I went to bed at 11:00 and woke up around 6:30. My roommate slept past both our alarms. I had to wake him up every day. Without me, my roommate may not have woken up in time for training. During breaks it was fun hanging out in the dorm playing games.
     We also did something called the Pizza Cup. We played 15 against 15 and the coaches played and refereed. They were purposely horrible. One team had fouls called on them for being too blue. They wore blue pennies. And we all got pizza. 
     But that day, to all you Castaway fans, I lost "Wilson". My favorite soccer ball went missing. It was used in almost every soccer game this spring. It was quite beat up but I miss him. Poor Wilson.  I did get a new soccer ball at camp that looks like the World Cup ball but it's a size 5, we still play with a size 4.
     On Sunday our team made it to World Cup finals and played Netherlands. We lost on penalty kicks. Speaking of World Cup, USA tied but it feels like a loss. It hurts. Good goal Portugal.
I had a surprise in the car when my parents showed up, POPCORN!!! It had been a long time since I had popcorn. I love popcorn.  

      The dogs greeted me heartily. They seemed to miss me this week. I played soccer with Hoover and then he hogged the air conditioning. He wasn't made for the heat. I had a great week!
