Everything that happened between my

Everything that happened between my midpoint and last night is sort of blurry. I was so upset about the way things went that I walked around in a daze for basically the next 24 hours. I got hugs and reassurances, I ate, I slept, I spent yesterday in a training class on “Communication Skills for the Technical Professional” that had some good tips, but was mostly boring.
A day later, I found myself in a much better place: on the field taking photos at the Houston Dynamo vs LA Galaxy / FC Barcelona vs Club America soccer double header last night. I haven’t had time to go through my photos yet, but I think I got some good ones. And even some good ones of mega-star Ronaldinho. It was very strange seeing him in person after watching him on TV during the World Cup. He looks the same. As if he wouldn’t.
The Dynamo game was ok (though they lost to Landon Donovan and the Galaxy), but the Barcelona/Club America matchup was incredible! The stadium was completely full — 70,000+ people — and Club America stunned everyone by racing to a 4-1 lead by halftime. Ronaldinho, who had been on the bench thus far, came in at the start of the 2nd half and the crowd went crazy. He immediately started pulling his fancy footwork, though for a while it had no effect. In the last five minutes of the game, though, Barcelona scored 3 goals, including a penalty kick from Ronaldinho, to finish the game in a 4-4 tie! The crowd went crazy all over again.
I’m dreading the post-midpoint discussion on how I did and what I need to work on, but I am determined to redeem myself. I have another sim tomorrow.
