Calcio

For those of you who don't know what Calcio means, it is Italian for Soccer. Last week the Rome Center (from now on referred to as the JFRC or J Force) started weekly, Wednesday night Calcio matches. Each person who wanted to play was assigned to a team based on their skill level. I am now a member of the Light Blue team (or as we refer to ourselves, LB)! Sadly, LB is 0-2 after the first two weeks of play. The games were both very close, 5-3, 5-4, but nevertheless they are still losses. But, no matter if we win or lose I think Calcio will always be fun! Thanks to my twin (Marriam!) and Joe for cheering all the teams on this week! I loved all the creative and sometimes embarrassing cheers!

Last night's matches were filled with injuries. Some guys took some pretty hard hits to the balls, a girl got a concussion after an attempt to steal the ball resulted in a collision, and Katherine and I both pulled our Hamstring muscles. We were two peas in a pod last night, limping around, whining, and icing our legs. My leg is feeling a little better this morning. At least I'm no longer limping around the J Force with people awkwardly staring at me.

Today is Thursday and the last day of classes for the week! I'm off to Florence for weekend, I'll be back Sunday night! Happy Valentine's Day everybody! Look for a new post next week!
