Day 47 - Day 55

Day 47
Had my first lie in for ages. Up at 11 and spent most of my day writing session plans and watching TV. Only had one hour of work today, but pretty much boring day.

Day 48
WORK

Day 49
Had a session in the pouring rain which aint the greatest but with sessions being cancelled all the time cos of this dodgy weather i had to keep this session on. Went out to the local cinema in the South Orange after work to watch Wolverine. Wasn't as good as I'd expected but was made enjoyable by the crowd. If you ever get a chance go watch a film in an american cinema. The crowd are the funniest thing in the world cos they get really involved in the film and say and do some of the most stupidist things.

Day 50
Only had work from 9am-11am so used my saturday to take my first trip into NYC to do some sightseing. Spent a good 7/8 hours in the city visiting Ground zero, Brooklyn Bridge, Grand Central, Rockefeller Centre, City Hall, Times Square and Madison Square Garden. I'd say my favourite part of the day was going to the observation deck in the Rockefeller Centre and looking over Manhattan at night.

Day 51
Had both my teams playing today. Livingston won 4-2 and Tenafly won 2-0 beating top of the league. That now puts both my teams top of there league. (unlike Newcastle as ive been told).

Day 52
Day off due to weather (did absolutely didly swat though)

Day 53
Went to the Great Swamp of New Jersey for a Wildlife Conservation tour of the swamp as the company is joining the trust to help promote it. It was probably one of the most boring days of my life. I'd rather watch West Ham on TV then go to the swamp and thats saying a lot. Another day off due to weather (i know what your thinking, do i ever work)

Day 54
Was on Montclair tryouts which is one of there biggest tryouts as its where a lot of the good players and teams are based. Standard of players was good so found it difficult rankings the players.

Day 55
Session cancelled (again) so it being a Thursday we all started our drinking games nice and early. All nine of us in the house were out tonight so headed down to our local bar Cryans (http://www.myspace.com/cryanssouthorange). Good night out, plenty of drinking and dancing and was good to have all the boys out together as were always missing one or two due to them working. Came home after it closed though with a splitting headache (as you do).
