But things have been busy, but at the same time fun. I've got a wonderful job as a volunteer at the U-20 World Cup which has been exciting since the first day and it's been keeping my mind off of many things. I've met great co-workers (most of whom are Communications students at Carleton--but no love lost) and had great discussions about the game I have not been playing for nearly 2 and a half years. I haven't even been able to follow soccer for the last year and my favorite player in the Premier league left for La Liga and my favorite club from Serie A just returned from Serie B, my favorite team in Ligue 1 won the title for the 6th time in a row and I don't normally follow Die Bundesliga (though I had a discussion with a FIFA worker and two co-workers about Bayern München's missing the CL for the first time in several years) Of course, the three of them are German so they yabbered off into German for a few minutes about some of the games (I understood, but couldn't answer) which made me realize I should perhaps follow up on German again and brush up on Spanish which are the only two languages I've "dropped" after one semester.
Pah, I'll probably become quintilingual like dad or something (French, English, Japanese, Spanish, German? I think I've already begun to beat down the path to become quintilingual)
PS. The North Koreans are such a loveable bunch and they have fun practice drills. Anyone wanting to amuse their teams, I'll email you an explanation of one of the funnest drills I have ever seen. :D
