Bummed out

I'm in a pretty mellow mood right now. An hour ago I would have told you I was frustrated and angry, but I've calmed down since. Still very disappointed. Tonight was the Section 2 basketball tournament, and we lost in the semi-finals. We played awful. It was a really gross game, everyone fouling one another with no calls being made; I'm equally disappointed by the way the game was played as I am by the we played. We were supposed to win it, and I think that got in the heads of some of our guys. Pretty bad feeling. Hopefully we'll get a redemption game against the Shalem (orthodox) guys soon, some of whom are really good. Overall I played alright, but I needed to step up and make something happen in the end and I didn't do that. I hit the eventual game winning free-throws in the first game, but the fact that it came to that was pretty bad as well. There's a soccer tournament soon which should be a lot of fun, and right before we leave there is an ultimate frisbee tournament. I've only met one other legit frisbee player who's on shalem, so It'll be fun playing against him.
The weather in Bat Yam has turned awful. It's been raining the past three days, which is odd because it never rains in Israel. As I was leaving Jerusalem this past weekend it was raining as well! I'm only in Bat Yam another three and a half weeks which is absolutely nuts. I'm really excited to move on to the next step, which is Jerusalem Academics. The primary reason I'm excited is there will much more interaction between kids on our section. Everyone goes to school in the same building on the same days. I hardly ever see the kids in the neighbor city of Holon, and I don't see Shalem that much either. I think Jerusalem will be the place we click.
Monday was uneventful. I had Ulpan in the morning, no volunteering in the afternoon, and then I went to the gym. Today was a trip to Nitzan (not my roommate) which used to be off-limits because it was so dangerous because bombs used to strike there frequently. Thats really all I know about it. I had signed up to go, but I didn't sleep well last night so I passed. I wanted to rest up for the tourney as well. I had a fantasy basketball draft last night with some shalem guys which was a bunch of fun. It was only second time ever doing fantasy bball, but I made out with a very formidable squad. I need to go to bed, tomorrow I have to wake up early to go spinning at the country club. To those who don't know what spinning is, I suggest you look it up; it's wild.
Keep on keepin' on
