Troubled

I read a while back on www.innorecur.com, "Most of my friends have seemingly given up on soccer at least for the time being". This had really had me thinking, when I was in high school I used to frown upon those who quit playing soccer for partying and new interests. In my opinion they were "wasted talent". I myself did not stop playing for those reasons but I feel terrible for giving up. Last year, I quit playing in the CIS mainly for the reasons of having no free time. I was always busy with either school work or soccer and did not have time for friends and family. What I didn't realize then was that playing for the Huskies is a committment and that I should have expected before I had joined.

Now I am in the middle of deciding of what I should do this upcoming year, I miss it every day I wake up. I still have a lot of time to decide but this question's always resting at the back of my mind. It's almost like an itching sensation that you can't ignore.

I have been preparing myself for the indoor season by joining a team of highly skilled players, going to the gym often and trying to get into a running routine. My goals are to regain my skill, confidence and heart back.

Commerce: 2nd Year

Today was my first day back at the U of S, it consisted of two classes and a long hour and a half break. The other day I told myself that I was excited and ready for school, I am already starting to regret that. In my first class which is statistics, we had to write a pretest based on what we remembered the year before. I can honestly say, I could not remember one formula. Basically I am not looking forward to school because I am nervous all over again now that I need to increase my marks for my major. The best part of the day was seeing friends from last year, the U of S atmosphere is great.

So commerce.

Back into my routine

Highschool just began last Monday, and ever since it did, I have been excited for University. Other than myself, a lot of others seem anxious to get back at school. My goal regarding school is to raise my average by atleast three percent. I have an idea for the area of studies I would like to pursue, but this year will be much more specific. My major must be picked by February I think, so my second year will be quite important and must be taken pretty seriously.

Another exciting note to my life is that I will begin playing soccer again this fall. I am going to play with many guys that I played with in my past, but I am probably the youngest on the team by three years. That doesn't bother me though, I could definitely learn a lot from all of these guys. You can potentially see me in an extra large Brazil jersey (sigh). But this is a great opportunity of getting back into my groove and getting better.

Squash

Lately, Mike, Dallas and I have been going to the PAC to play squash. We usually have about three of us and just rent one court for about three hours. It's a lot more tiring than I expected and a lot more painful than I expected. A lot of quick movements and shoulder and thigh bruises. Other than being sore days after, this is a lot of fun. We all haven't played together at the same time, but will have to try it soon.

Campus Rec.

Recently I joined the U of S's campus rec soccer league. I am planning on helping them finish the season with a few games and possibly play offs. It is fun and it is helping me get back into the soccer routine. The league consists of all skill levels from Huskies Alumni to first timers. As of now, I have played two games and it has been a lot of fun. I hear that most campus rec leagues are great so if you go to the U of S try to join a team.

Class Scheduling

Last night, Mike and I were trying to create schedules for the upcoming school year. Last year they had given us a structure of how to choose our classes, this year we must develop our own. I have made most of mine but am concerned of whether I have chosen the best combination of classes and whether I have equally divided them among both terms. I've forgotten about how stressful it is!
