Water Polo

So I made it to Sofia last night around 7:30 and got to the pool after some confusion and taxi fares. I met the coach and president etc. and swam around for a while because they weren't really practicing. I threw the ball around w/ one guy from a different team who was huge, and a really good shooter. To my amazement, it was his first practice in 2 years! I played goalie for a while (meaning he launched balls at me) and then made my way home on the late train. After seeing what it was like, it would be really beneficial for me to play with these guys because they are all much better than me. The problem is that it is that it would be way too expensive to go there often. It's going to cost me around 20 leva a trip to get there and back, so it isn't really worth the amount of practice that I would get, even though I really want to do it! I think I'm going to call the coach and ask him to send me a workout schedule and things that I can do on my own, and hopefully the pool here in Blagoevgrad is bearable.
In other news, I got a 98% on my science midterm, so I'm pretty much set in that class, I hope. I had my falsifications midterm yesterday, and pretty much no one in the room knew what the questions were about. It should be interesting to see what she says about our work.
