"Oi, mate," I turned round to look at the well-built guy addressing me. "You wan' to try out for Rugby?" His hand slapped me on the shoulder as I tried to figure out whether he was joking or being serious. Looking down at my figure I hardly looked Rugby material...thin, gangly. No, not even a figure that'd suit a flyhalf. I politely declined and waited for Jack to finish signing up for Tennis. Today had been interesting to say the least.
Before I continue on about today though, I must mention the one thing I forgot to mention yesterday: my headphones broke. Luckily I brought my cans, big studio DJ style headphones, but it's always nice to have the option to use small ones for when you don't want huge headphones weighing down your neck all day. As a result, I will probably take a slight excursion to Maplins this weekend.
Back to the present, or more recent past at least. Today was the sport's and societies fair. Although the societies part was rather a let down (only 4 or 5 very obscure societies) the sports part was far from. Though some of the sports clubs were more exclusive and demanding than the others, I managed to sign myself up for kickboxing. Hold your laughter for a few moments, it was a nice change to most sports I'm used to, and very cheap at only £2 a session after the first and no extra charges for kit or anything. Rather a good deal I figured, so I'll give it a shot. Plus it gets me out two nights a week so that can't be too bad.
Of course I suppose most of you are intrigued about the field trip which I mentioned yesterday, so I shall not disappoint. The field trip involved a mixture of terrorists, explosions and a little bit of journalism mixed in with it all. The facility where the exersise was staged was owned by the University, so aside from being a bit outlandish for a rural, South-England village it was also quite obvious to notice it's absurdity. Despite the fact that the corpse was moving around, it was obvious a lot of preparation had been put into it's preparation and this was silently appreciated by all involved, I'm sure.
Our group seemed to also be the leading group in terms of speed, quantity and quality of article writing. If I can find a link on Monday, I'll post it here so that you can read it.
Though after a few drinks with my Uncle this evening I have found myself quite tired, so I shall bring this train of thought to a close for tonight, with a three-day-weekend coming up, I'm sure I will have...to find something to do to make for interesting blogging. I believe I've reached what my Father would call: "Blogger's block."

"Though after a few drinks with my Uncle this evening I have found myself quite tired" - wimp! I had to finish off his curry for him as well.
ReplyDeleteBlogger's block would be unacceptable for us, your regular readers, so make sure you post something over the weekend!
