Sports are awesome

My favorite sports moment

The last weekend I experienced my greatest sports moment. The sport is called floorball, and can remind you of hockey without skates and a different stick. We (Oya IBK) played against a team called bakklandet/nidelv, and won. The great thing about this wasn’t just that we won the game, but also that we played very good together, and won the regional series. And we are now ready for the national group stage, which is located in Drammen the 25th-27th of March. I know that we are going to have fun in Drammen, and show the Bærum “snobs” who’s the best (not).
More about the game and our team, we are a team that usually does really badly in the first period, but finally for a change we did really good the first period and won it 5 to 0. Our team was strongly handicapped and we were barely enough people for a full team. There are 6 players with keeper and we were only 8. Since we were so few people we had to play good in periods, and got tired very fast, so we had a tactic that we were going to run fast in periods of the match, and be defensive in other periods of the match. We ended up following this tactic and we won the game 6-1. Unfortunately we did have any celebration at the end, but we were really happy with our achievement and we are really looking forward to playing versos the best teams in the country.

The curious incident of the dog in the night time, likes and dislikes


My personal opinion about the book is that it is a good and bad book, even though there are some slightly things that I disliked. There were many things that I liked about the book, such as all the different drawings (made the book different from other books,) the plot, the different thoughts that Christopher had, and the way it was written. What I liked about these things were that for example, the book would not have had any meaning if it weren’t for the 1st person narrative, because this gave you the inside thoughts of a child with asperger. The plot was interesting to follow, and it was awesome to read that Christopher developed so much throughout the story (in a positive way). Also the drawings in the book were quite interesting, because this is something that most authors don’t use, and it is actually quite funny to look at some of the drawings and get to see the perspective of what the author means with the book, and the feeling of you knowing where you are.
There were also sadly some things that I disliked about the book, for instance the long sentences were sometimes hard to follow, and I fell out a few times, and had to read the sentence over again to fully understand what he meant. So overall I liked the book more than I disliked it, and I would love to read another book from Mark Haddon.
