Day- 12 &13 'World Cup' & 'Tokyo Gaijin Rugby Club'

I'm really tired right now. This weekend has been crazy. On Saturday, before meeting up with Rie, I went to buy my rugby boots! Which I did. Then, I met up with Rie. She invited me to her elementary school reunion which was pretty funny. I met several of her friends she knew from long time ago. Afterwards, we went to another one of her friend's house. AFter all this, we went to her house to rest up before heading out to a world cup party. At the world cup party, I met more Rie's friends. THEY'RE REAL! just kidding Rie. I had a lot of fun and ended up falling asleep in one of the rooms. That's how tired I was.

Today was a lot of fun. I FINALLY PLAYED SOME RUGBY!!! I learned that I suck at it. The people on the team were older and international people. There was someone who was from Chicago! He was from Naperville. There was another player who knew CONN COLL! He had played against Conn's rugby team back in the day. He clearly knew because he said, "Isn't the field down by the river?" AHAHAHAHAHA oh Dawley~ There were people from NZ, Britain, South Africa, and even Fiji. Although, they looked out of shape, they knew how to move. They're passing was incredible. They constantly did loops and jukes. But seriously, their inside passing and looping was amazing. Also, their grub kicks were wicked. Just what I want to do but too paranoid about screwing up. Nevertheless, today was a huge learning experience. I know for sure I was not at my 100%. I think I'm still scared to do things because of I might reinjure myself. But it's been six months so everything should be alright. right? It's all mental. For those of you who have been injured and needed rehab, know what I am talking about. 85% of the game is physical, the rest is all mental. I'm lacking in both the physical and mental parts. So, I need to crank up the training if I want to play well this season. I didn't even tackle well. I just hugged people. I bet the other players were like this kid sucks. BUT, none of them knew or know that I had surgery. Excuses...Anyways, they invited me to play again next weekend. ALSO, if you do not put your 100% into a game, you're more likely to injure yourself. I had fun this weekend.

This week's goals:
Explore a new part of Tokyo. (maybe the famous Tsukiji Fish Market)
Figure out if I can join a dance studio.
Go to a museum?
Make more friends.
Watch the world cup.
