Recruiting

Highlights of the day:
1. Trying to recruit players for our soccer team for the weekend
Ken and I are creating a soccer team for the sports day against the other summer school program in Cambridge and so we needed to find some players to join with us. It’s a “five-a-side” tournament and the sports day will have volleyball, croquet, and other various sports. Neither one of us has much soccer experience, but we’re hoping our competitive spirit will lead the “Mighty Ducks” to victory. I’m actually really excited. We managed to each recruit one person, so we just need to find one more girl for the team since Meg won’t be here.

2. Meeting up with friends from school
Meg and I hung out in the Pembroke bar before meeting up with some other friends from Harvard and we spend the night pub hopping. It was a great group to hang out with, and it’s a cool thing to make friends and have connections in England that I can follow up with back in Boston. Some of the students are doing the most incredible things here in Cambridge, and it’s really fun to hear about their adventures.

3. First experience with watercolors
I keep thinking back to my art corps days at Miramar Elementary School. Mom—I’m so glad you taught me how to mix my primary colors because our professor does very little technical teaching and just lets us do our own thing. It was really fun to paint the wine bottle and he gave some great advice.
