Blog 'bout it

Before I even left for Europe I had people tell me I should start a blog about my travels. I have successfully procrastinated for more than 5 months on starting this bad boy. I have always thought of myself as a strong storyteller, but only in live situations where I can make voices and act scenes out. Hopefully I have enough skill with the written word to do my stories justice without making it as bland as possible. I'm not quite sure how I should recap these past 6 months (holy crap I can't believe I've been gone that long). So here is an attempt....Joined about 25 other girls in Slovenia in August for the Firesale tour with Bring It Promotions where we all had dreams of getting signed some where in Europe. On the 3rd or 4th day of the camp the agents sent me on a tryout in Sweden. Pretty sure I didn't know the name of the town for the first week. Woops. The contract sounded good and I had no idea what else I would do so I signed on for an 8 month season with Svedala volley. Lived by myself from the middle of August to the middle of December. If I didn't talk to myself before I sure do now. My life was oh so simple, played volleyball in the evenings and weekends as well as coached the B-team at our club. I was told I would be able to take Swedish lessons, but so far that has been a big bust. Lucky for me, and my entire team, Mari-Liis joined us for our last game of the first half of the season. I now have a roomie from Estonia so my days are much more enjoyable. Things have been good so far, with some adventures to different countries along the way and I only hope that these next 3 months are even more adventurous.
