Monday Night

Enjoying my last fake Sunday night. Last week of work and then, as a student, I will enjoy real weekends (as in not working on Saturdays). In fact, I will only have class on Monday and Wednesday afternoons, so I will have to be careful to leave some room for actually doing my work and not take off on four-day weekend trips every week.

I was a little nervous about actually going back to school, self-doubt creeping in, so I decided to focus on one aspect of returning to the world of academia that I knew I could handle-- extracurriculars. Right now my top choices include, but are not limited to:

-Cycling team
-Climbing at the indoor rock wall
-Intramural basketball (although I am slightly intimidated playing basketball at a university of 50,000 students where statistically there are thousands of ex-varsity high school basketball players who could kick my ass, and I'm not sure how successful I will be fielding any type of sports team from the English Graduate department)
-Joining the UW Yacht Club where I can pretend that I know how to sail dinghies
-Rowing club
-Yoga classes

And for a team sport option, I might even look into ultimate and see if I could compete. That could be fun now that I'm retired from rugby and could use a field sport that involves running and much less contact.
