First football practice with ball

Austin, February 28th

Yay! We practiced catching in football class. It was a little cold and windy, but I missed the practice with the ball. We have a new quarterback and I guess it will take some time until we all play as good as last season.

In track was our coach not there. The girls coach timed us but warm up and cool down we had to do by ourselves. So Three of the boys (including myself) led the running warm up, a girl led the stretchings and for the few who stayed for the cooldown -my and three other guys- I led a quick cool down.

I run better than last week, my ankles still hurt a bit, my knees started after the fouth 300m run to hurt, but my hip feels much better.

After track I went to the weight room. Austin, the boy who picks me often up in the morning for the workouts, texted me this morning that his truck doesn't work. Loran brought me to school, but I missed the morning workout.

Gym and movie

Austin, February 27th

Steffen and I went to Gold's gym today. My favourite gym at 1431 didn't let him in, because guests need to be 18 or need a guest pass. But we didn't want to pay for this pass.

So we went to an other gym in Round Rock, they wanted to see an ID of Steffen so they knew that he is 18. He didn't had an ID, but they let him still in. It is weird, some gyms don't ask for an ID, some make you fill out a lot of paperwork and some need just a sign.

We worked out a little and went then to the pool, hot tub and sauna.

Gary invited Steffen for dinner, so we ate at our house and went then to Jessica to watch a movie.

Big Mall

Austin, February 26th

Since Coach Baily don't want me to go to the Track meet today, I had time to go with Steffen and Carolin to Barton Creek Mall. It's much bigger than the Lakeline Mall, where we usually go to.

Caro wanted to meet a friend of hers, Laura, who is a German exchange student in Houston. Her hostbroher had a German Competition in Austin, and so they decided to meet.

We went to some shops. Steffen and i got job offers at Abercrombie & Fitch and Hollister. To bad that we are exchange students, I'd love to work there.

I finally bought the christmas gift for Steffen, sweatpants from Abercrombie.

Class ring

Austin, February 25th

I ordered my class ring today. It will be silver with a red stone. One one side is the Vista ridge mascott, and on the other side a little football, a football helmet and winged shoes, that refers that I was a football player and track runner.

Relax

Austin, February 24th

Pretty boring day. The football class was really tiring. And since i was before school in the weight room, and after track practice again, I didn't feel like doing anything but relaxing at home.
