USA vs. England match and seeing Emma again

Rebecca | May 29th, 2008 at 6:14 pm

I have a cousin through my dads side of the family who is a hardcore soccer (aka football) fan and invited my sister and I to go to the USA vs. England match on Wednesday. You bet we took her up on her offer! To make things ever better, we scored two extra tickets because my aunt pitched in and bought 2 tickets (one for her daughter Elizabeth and one for us to give a friend) and Amy’s friend backed out at the last minute.

Luckily we had WVU connections in the area who we could invite. I brought my roommate Emma who lived in the WVU International House with me last semester who is a native London’EER and Sarah was able to invite her friend Arwin who is backpacking around the UK for 3 months.

Even though USA lost 2-0, we had a good time.
I breathed the same air as DAVID BECKHAM! (insert like! oh my gosh! like! like! it was awesome! like! like!)

Below are pictures of the game:

2 be or not 2 be that is the question!!! lol

I had an awesome time hanging with my roomie.
I too recommend Study Abroad, not only do you make friends for a semester (or two), you make friends for life :)

If anyone is coming to the University if Hertfordshire 2008 – 2009, I’d be happy to help u out!!!!

Greetings from the Oklahoma farm:
We are following your travels around Europe and know that you are now in Cambridge. It is difficult to imagine that four of our granddaughters attended a soccer game together so far away from the U.S.A. No doubt Elizabeth is joyous to be with three of her older cousins. Give our love to Sarah as she finishes her thesis. We haven’t received a copy of her thesis to edit as yet, but you and Aunt Diana and Uncle Chris can do that for us. When are your classes over? Love to all.
Grandpa Jim and Grandma Jan
