Interpretations

It is wierd living in two worlds that are really one and the same.
There is Waterpolo in Hawaii and waterpolo in the Netherlands and trying to do two at the same time was obviously not the best idea. Trying to have serious conversations over the mail is not too smart either, especially when it concerns things you care about. But I guess everyone grows and everyone learns new things by overstepping a line sometimes.

Meanwhile I'm submerging myself in the etiology Abnormal Behaviour and the origins of African Art, but not nearly enough to be up to date with what I am supposed to be learning in lectures in Hawai'i.

Loosing to America wasn't so bad because we knew there was a big chance we would, and we nearly had them! We played well and only because we lost some concentration in the third quarter we fell behind, which really was a shame!
Loosing to Greece the next day however was really worrysome, especially the way it went. It was one of those down-ward spirals that no-one seemed to be able to break though. No matter how hard we tried, no matter what we said, no matter how much we wanted it and had been excited to play well at the start of this game, something just didn't work.

RESET
It is great to have so many Dutch fans to support us, a little orange cloud waving and watching from between the rest of the people. a very difineable sort of people...
The sun decided to shine and people aired out thier heart to one another and found some distracion in things other then waterpolo by roaming around the area.
Possums are rather Q'te animals although they are like pigeons in Amsterdam... used to being fed... This morning everything seems back to how it is supposed to be...

Waking up, grabbing the blue waterfly suit (so nice to not have to think about what to wear), breakfast, a walk around the block, people telling sarcastic jokes about others and catching each other up on gossip and waterpolo at home. We're obviously ready...
We play Kazachstan today, I hope they are too!

Yes! I did it, got Yemen on your map. As we learned in the grey past
" Timeo Danaos et dona ferentes" which translates as "I fear the greeks, even when they bring presents". Good to read that you have beaten the Kazakhs properly. Now for the next game.
Zet hem op
