Whoa, so apparently time has just flown by! I haven't posted in a month! I don't even really think I've been THAT busy. I almost wish more exciting things had happened to write about. What's been going on to keep me from posting?

I guess soccer has taken up a lot of time for me. My first time coaching (and I'm only an assistant coach at that) is definitely a challenge. I really like the girls on my team. It's interesting trying to bring about the best in a group of girls with such a wide array of talent, energy and interest levels. It's also totally different than just being a counsellor -- I never thought it could be. It's a lot harder to be a friend and a coach (for me at least). How do I manage to motivate them when they're being lazy, yet keep the game fun? There's one girl in particular that has the hugest potential and shows moments of brilliance but then is just lazy and lacking motivation at other times. It's my personal mission to get her to absolutely love the game and everything about it. Not sure how I'm going to do that yet.

Also, got a climbing rope for my b-day and I'm getting really pumped for some climbing adventures to come. Also hoping for a chance to get out kayaking once or twice this summer.

That's about all I've got -- I'm not really sorry that it's not more exciting (I was going to say I was then realized it wasn't true).
