I think I Earned My Stripes Today :)

Making Impressions...

So today was much more exciting than yesterday...Went out into the city and got to explore a little and take some pictures. Found out that as picturesque and "fun" as it sounds to ride bikes through a gorgeous little town, it's kinda a pain in the @$$ especially with angry European drivers around (no patience 'round here lol). But all in all the little trek was fun. I finally got to take some pics of Lubeck and it's just only made me want to explore much much more. Luckily, weather permitting Jose and I are gonna adventure through town and hit all the cool spots and do that whole tourist thing (makes me wish I had a camera w/ the strap to mob around with and piss ppl off as I obnoxiously stop at every corner to take insane amounts of pictures haha). Sadly I'm stuck using my temporarily out of service smartphone, but it'll do. Just excited to see more of what the city has to offer and create my own personal impressions. It should be a blast!

Practice #2

Let's just say I came out with a bang today. It makes things so much simpler when you know the offense and can just be an athlete as Glenn Fowles would say. I would have to say I had an amazing day today at practice and really earned my stripes w/ my teammates and the coaching staff. As the new guy coming in I felt like I had something to prove and expectations to live up to and today I far and away blew them out of the park.  One of my coaches even went so far as to say my presence raised the overall level and competitiveness of the practice overall and made the offense better.  His words "this was the best practice we've had all season." So I feel honored to be able to come right in and contribute and get these guys going and motivated. GO SEALS!!!

Also here are so teaser pics of my day...More to come soon I promise :)
