Halloween, volunteering for soccer teams, and classical concerts

This was a very eventful week, and it started early on Monday, which was Halloween. Instead of going out to get candy this year, I set up a table with candy on the edge of the cul de sac that we live in. Hardly anybody comes over to our house on Halloween since we live in the corner of the neighborhood, so I thought we should do something about it!

 Surprisingly, a lot of people came over to the stand, some of which I thought should not be trick or treating anymore. In fact, the very first customers that walked by were two seniors that went to Sunrise Mountain, which is the high school right outside the neighborhood. They were not exactly dressed up though. One of them was wearing a horse mask, while the other one was just wearing regular clothes! The stand was up for a few hours, but eventually, we took it inside since everyone had gone back to their houses.

 The next event that happened that week was not even an event at all. We were driving up to the Thursday soccer practice that is all the way out in Scottsdale, and when we were less than five minutes away they canceled it due to rain. I did not thinking that it was raining too hard on the drive there, but admittedly, it did start to came down when we got back on the freeway going home. Our last soccer game of the season was on Saturday, but we lost in that one just like our other few games that we had. We had actually been playing very well in the last three weeks, and tied our last game, but we fell apart in the last game for some reason.

 It looked like it was going to be a normal day after that, but I actually had to help out another team later that day in Anthem! The only reason that we are affiliated with the team is because our team manager knows the coach and he does not even have enough players to play in his games! I did not know what to expect, but by the time the next game started, I knew why they needed more players. The kids were not very good, and just ran around the field not staying in their positions at all. The coach made it look like he had a plan, but I was very confused by him. He told me to go in for center midfield five times, and then when I ran out on the field he yelled back at me, "Remember, you're playing left midfield!!" After being on the field for a few minutes, I just started playing center mid because no one was playing their position anyways. We ended up losing that game as well, but at least that did not concern me that much.

 Sunday morning did not have much going on and was a good opportunity to rest, but by three o'clock I was going to go to a classical concert with my friend because we had to fill out a paper for my music class. The players were actually really good, and it was fun to listen to. After we got to get something to eat while we were still downtown. We were going to go to a pizza place, but it ended up being closed on Sunday. Instead, we went to a place that was just called "The Duce", which had ping pong, corn hole, and other games. After we ate there, we went back home and took showers before going to bed to get rested for the next big week. Thanks for reading and tune in next week on TBB!
