new roommate

sunday morning, we thought we were going to be able to sleep in because ben didn't have practice until later on in the day.  you can see where i'm headed here: we thought wrong.  at 9am, we got a call from his assistant coach, darren, saying that he was bringing us a new roommate.  booo!


milos, the roommate we started off the season with, was sent home about a week prior because he had been injured and the committee wasn't pleased with his performance or something stupid like that.  he immediately signed onto a different team, and had 17 pts and like 8 rebounds in his first game... their loss! 


anyway, darren gets here at like 9:30 with kyle, who made me very relieved.  you can imagine i wasn't a very happy camper when i found out we were getting someone new, but kyle is very easy to get along with and is from a culture very similar to ours, so we're kind of getting on more like roommates than different people living in the same apartment.  hard to explain, really, but i think it was difficult with milos being serbian.  he is a great guy, don't get me wrong, but with the language barrier (his english is WAY better than my serbian, but still not perfect) and the difference in typical routines and stuff, it was just tricky i guess.


kyle is from canada and went to school in the states at long island u, which is really close to where i'm from.  his dad is english, so he and ben also have that in common.


over the last week that he's been here, i think we've gotten to know quite a bit about each other and the way we kind of function/things we've been through, etc, and it's wound up being kinda nice switch up having someone else to chat with rather than just the two of us.


i suppose i'll learn to deal with it.... ;)
