Ouch.

Rugby.

I love it. And hate it.

It's the only sport I've ever kept at and really enjoyed.. and it hurts like hell. Logic doesn't seem to figure.

I played a full game today, in my favourite postion (Flanker, Google it if that word means nothing to you). We played a re-match of the team we played last week... and won 61 - 5. Brilliant.

BUT.

(Yeah, there's a but)

I'm so, SO tired. One of my team mates managed to flatten me by mistake by running into my back, and now my back kanes. It's at times like this I wonder what motivates me to play this sport. Human logic and my body say it hurts, and that it's a stupid idea to keep putting my body through it. But my mind says it fun, social, it keeps me fit and I love it. I'm not quitting. Go figure.

Collision.

S'been a while since my last post..

I've started college. Scary stuff. I like it... but it's gonna be hard work.

Tomorrow, I'm off to collect an 'Attainment Prize' from my old school at their 'Presentation Evening'. It's almost mocking that you get an award for getting decent grades. It'll be odd seeing everyone from my old 'Institution of Learning'.

I've made quite a few new friends at college.. but I do feel a bit... hollow sometimes. My life seems to revolve around getting up and going to college, working at college and wasting my free periods, getting home and and then doing homework before crashing in time to wake up the next day.

I'm studying English Lit, and one of the themes of our course is Distopian novels. A Distopia is basically to opposite of a Utopia - everything's gone to shit, and life sucks for nearly everyone. Regardless of the level, it seems it has been deemed necessary for English to be depressing... this angers me.

I miss childish acts of silliness being commited by me and others around me.
I miss life being easier than it is now.
I miss making good memories everyday.

Tomorrow my two 'worlds' of socialising and learning take a bit of a beating as they collide. Should be fun.
