This weekend was pretty busy because I had a midterm on Monday to study for, three assignments due this coming week, and games for hockey on Saturday and Sunday!
We won on Saturday, but unfortunately on Sunday we drove all the way out to our game (an hour away) and it got canceled because of snow! It really only flurries in Dublin, but since we were more inland the snow was actually sticking!
The rules for the game of hockey (field hockey) are the same over here, but its funny how the girls have different lingo over here! Instead of calling penalties in the defense "corners," they primarily call them "shorts" for "short corners." Then the hit from the sideline of the field is a "long corner" when we call them "long hits." Also they never say "field," only "pitch!"
Training is their word for practice. And I've heard the phrase "gum shield" used for what we call a "mouth guard."
