2012 was a great year when it came to football/soccer! I went to two different states- Arizona and Oregon (Portland)- yes, just to watch a match! I also got to see my favorite club play in person (for the second time) Real Madrid and I got to see Tottenham Spurs. Oh, and LA Galaxy won the MLS Cup for the second year in a row 🙂
Arizona
In January, a week before my 21st birthday, I went with the Ameircan Outlaws to Arizona on a bus. For those who don’t know, the American Outlaws are the USMNT’s supporter group. Anywyas, the bus ride was about 12 hours, of course we stopped to get something to eat. I didn’t know anyone on the bus, but I ran into some people I knew when I was in Arizona. I also met a few people there, who I’ve kept in touch with via twitter. The match I went to watch was USA v Venezuela. The US ended up winning that match 1-0. That lone goal was scored in the 90th minute, well in stoppage time.
Portland
The next trip for me was to Portland, Oregon. Before making this trip, I really had no interest in ever visiting Portland. After all, the only thing I knew about Portland was the fact that they had a very popular donut shop called Voodoo Donuts. Once I was there, however, I think it’s safe to say I fell in love with the city!
What do I want in 2013? To be happy. Yes, this sounds lame, but after the last few months, that’s not too much to ask for right? Some other things I want- for my football clubs to do well 🙂 to finally transfer to a 4 year, go to Portland for the weekend, see the USMNT qualify for the 2014 World Cup, do all the things on my 2013 “Bucket List” lol
Based on some of my posts from the last few months (specifically the ones from November and december), it might seem like 2012 was a horrible year for me, but that’s not true at all! Well, it ended horribly, but the first 9 months of 2012 were pretty good!
One great thing that happened to me was that after almost 4 years, I finally got my braces taken off! Well, it was more like 3 years and 10 months to be exact. I got my braces taken in January, a few weeks before my 21st birthday. I was so happy! It took me a while to get used to it.
Some other good things that happened- I finally graduated and got my AA. Not much, but I’m a step closer to get my bachelor’s degree 🙂 I also got my first job ever! I’m still there, surprisingly lol It’s been 5 months and I’ve met some pretty cool people, and one, well, person who wasn’t so nice. But I think I’ve written enough about that person tbh
I was a LA Galaxy STH and went to so many games. I also went to see USMNT in Arizona, as well as LA Galaxy in Portland. Real Madrid and Tottenham Spurs came to LA and played against LA Galaxy at HDC (Home Depot Center).
For the most part, 2012 was a good year for me. I think November and December were really bad months, because of that person and everything that happened, well more like half of November. But I’m not going to say that 2012 was awful just that one month and a half.
I’m hoping 2013 is much better!
