Battle Wounds

So for all of you wondering where I’ve been the last week I have two words: head injury.

I got it while playing soccer. Now granted, I’m not that good at soccer, and I probably shouldn’t have blocked a ball with my head and then fallen to the ground but still . . . . intramural sports is one of those things that I occasionally wish I hadn’t volunteered for but most of the time thoroughly enjoy.

Let’s just say my coordination with any type of ball is pretttty limited. Now in high school I did karate and dance . . . so I can move. But with a ball in my hand or around my feet . . not so much. But I’m a quick learner and I’m definitely learning the rules of the game. See that’s kind of how it goes for intramurals. You just get with these players that know what they’re doing. Nobody teaches you the rules, you have to sort of catch on. But you’ll become a LOT better player in the process.

And who knows if I’ll actually ever need to block a ball with my head again. Even with my head injury, my heart is still in the right place. I wish that’s all that counted . . . but I think I have some learning to do too! Next time I’ll definitely use some other body part . . . .

Oh the joys of college life!
