On December 1st we won our first basketball game or actually we had won one before but that was when i went to Austin so it didn't really count for me.
This time we played against la Joya and won 36-43, but i have never seen my coach as mad as he was that day. We didn't really play that good. We lost a lot of balls because we made bad passes an we also lost 20 free throws! The day after he punished us with 20 laps around the gym.
The next Tuesday we played against Edinburg Bobcats and lost bad. The head coach was mad at us for not being depressed about the loss. Everything here is very competitive and this was our first district game so they were not happy, but I can't help but being happy. Of course I like it better when we win, but I realize that we are not gonna win every game. Our district is the toughest in the valley and we are not that good, but I like the game a lot and I'm happy as long as I get to play. I have finally found a sport that I really like.

Thanksgiving
Thursday November 27 was thanksgiving. This is an American celebration
where you eat a lot of food. We ate turkey. Mashed potatoes, corn, stuffing, breads, pies cakes and ice cream. In a traditional celebration you say grace before you eat and every one have to say what they are grateful for. It is also very common to watch football games. We saw
Texas longhorns win against their rivals Texas a&m.
After we ha eaten first at my hostmothers mothers house and then my hostfathers parents house we went Home to change and then we went to aStore. I went to HEB. I sat outside the store for 7 hours to wait till it opened, i did it because the day after thanksgiving is known as black Friday and is the day of the year they have the most sales. When HEB finally opened at 5 a clock in the morning i ran in to the store to Get an iPod touch. I got it for 169 dollars that is about 1000 nok. Everyone went crazy to get what they wanted. All the Wii's and TV's got sold out within 30 sec. It was a fun experience, but practice was hard that day. I came home at 6:30am so i only got two hours of sleep before practice that was from 9:30 till 12:30.
I would also like to send my thougths to Regine Stokke's family and friends. I have been reading her blog where she have been writing ever since she got to know that she had cancer. She fougth for 15 months she died December 3. You can read her blog www.sinober.blogg.no (it's in norwegian) .
