some good news

so i'm finally going to meet her parents...we leave by train tomorrow morning to Szarvas. i'm not really nervous. i'm a little excited to see the countryside and her hometown. don't really know what to expect. i've met girlfriends parents before, but this is a little different....i moved in w/ their daughter from halfway across the globe. i'm sure it'll be ok...i'll write more after the trip is done.

in other news, i received my confirmations from both universities that i've been accepted into the programs. i've been going back and forth between the two. they both have their advantages. i'm leaning towards corvinus university right now. i have until next wednesday to decide b/c the deposit is due for ceu that day.

also, i finally heard back from one of the companies i sent out my cv to. exxonmobil tried calling my cell but couldn't get through (i still have my SD #)...so i have to email them and let them know when i'll be near gabi's cell so they can call that. regardless, i'm excited about the job opportunity. they emailed me explaining all this and said based on my experience and background, they wanna find a position for me. so yay!!!

on to football...i attended 2 practices, one last tuesday and also this past thursday. a drastic improvement by my standards. last week, i felt so out of shape doing the conditioning drills that i couldn't complete all of them. i was dehydrated and felt like i was gonna pass out. this last practice was a different story. going through the drills, i kept up w/ everyone. i even managed to buy a pair of soccer cleats from the addidas outlet (3990 HUF =~ $25) not bad! all in all, i'm holding my own. gabi attended the practice w/ me and the coaches were telling her that i did an excellent job on the cone drills, my form was perfect (backpedaling and laterally) and i'm learning to block and tackle. on the tram ride back to the flat, some of the other rookies were on the same tram and told gabi that i was good and that i'd have no problem making the team. that made me feel awesome, considering most of the guys are younger than me.

so here's what's lined up regarding football....in late august we have a mini-camp and then right after that we start regular training camp for next season. the wolves are going to add an additional team for the b-division and it's going to come from the jr and rookie teams. so that's something to shoot for for spring 2009. we'll see...

i'll end this now, b/c i gotta get up early tomorrow to catch that train.
