I believe!

Believe it or not I was going to post this on Tuesday but then Tuesday rolled around and I was so tired and wanted to watch about 5 episodes of Game of Thrones instead of writing blog posts. Oops. That's how life has kind of been for me right now. I'm not quite adjusted to waking up at 6:30 every morning and then standing on my feet until 3:30. I will as times goes on though, hopefully, maybe. 

Then last night I had been getting ready for Firefly, which is today, and when I finally sat down to write something it started to thunderstorm really badly and the power went out. A huge tree fell in front of my neighborhood taking out a few power lines so lots of my neighborhood lost power. The thunderstorm was so scary. The lighting was so bright. The thunder was sort of loud, I don't really remember the thunder being that bad. So there are my excuses for no posts. 

In a few hours I will be getting in a car to go to Firefly and not shower for a few days. So now, I will write what I was going to write on Tuesday. 

So Monday night I went out to a bar called Cafe Citron in DC with my mom, dad, older sister, and some of my parents' friends. My mom and I got there early, ordered two mojitos, and watched as the bar got more and more crowded. It was amazing how early people got there to get good spots to watch the USA v. Ghana game. We ordered probably the tastiest thing I have ever eaten. It was called a Bolivian potato cake and is described on the menu as "2 mashed potato patties fried with beef marinated in spices and fried." That sounds pretty lackluster I guess but it was the most delicious thing I have ever beheld. Nomz city. 

Not too long after everyone else got there and the game started. It was an exciting game but USA was a little lacking in the offense category. Thankfully we struck hard and fast and won 2-1. Pretty much during the whole game the crowd of people that formed over time cheered and chanted. Probably my favorite was, "I believe that we will win!" We chanted that all night long afterwards. I really love the Wold Cup. I'm not really a huge soccer fan, I mean, I have my teams that I like but I don't really follow them too much but I still love the World Cup. All these people bring brought together from all over the world to play this game. It's funny after living in America my whole life how football (American) is so insignificant in the world and probably the most popular sport in America. Although, in my ages 5-7 art camp this week I'm sure they are all on soccer teams. I don't think any of them were aware the World Cup was on.

I'm gonna try to whip something up to be posted tomorrow and for the other days I will be gone. I guess you'll have to find out tomorrow!

Until then,

Caroline
