Basketball Tournament

I know I said check my blog in 2 weeks in the last article (which was about 5 or 6 days ago), but I forgot we had a basketball tournament. The name of my basketball club is 'Beans' (no jokes about the name please). Origionally, we had 3 teams in the tournament (1-girls, 2-guys). We all won in the first round, so every team continue to the next round. The next day, the girls team and the upper-classman team (those with the older members on it, mostly graduate students) won. So now, their is another game for us on Monday. I kind of hurt my toe in the last game, but I think they would have won even if I didn't play. The first game was very close. At first I thought we were going to loose, because at one time were down by more than 15 points, but thanks to Kashiwagi-san, we were able to make a come-back. We won the first game by one point because of a technical foul on the other teams part. The force must have been with us. The second game wasn't really close. The other team had the lead until somewhere in the second quarter, that was it. I think we won that game by 15 points. The rules in Japanese basketball are slightly different from that of American basketball. The way of blocking ones apponent here is illegal in American basketball. Also, there were a few times I got all ball when they were passing my man the ball (and I came around from behind him and swatted the ball away) and they still called a foul on me. I will have to be careful of that the next game. Also, during free throws, you don't have to wait until the ball hits the rim to move. You can move right after the ball is released. Nothing really special to report about today. No pictures either. I have to start looking for a apartment soon. Maybe I will start this weekend. I think I want to move to Ueda (they have Dr. Pepper, batting cages and as I found out the other day a very large gym there). It's not that far from the University either. I was told it is a quite place by a friend of mine that lives there. Well, that is all for today. And, here is the quote of the day:
And by who other than the great Dr. A.E.:
"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science."
Well, Adios y vio con dios.
Later ya'll.
