Wow, who would have known that two weeks cheering for a gold medal team could affect your hockey watching ability so much? But then again, there is a bit of a gap there; going from watching the best team in the world to the worst NHL team this season is a bit of a change.
However, I turned on the TV today to watch the first Oilers game since the Olympics and it kind of sucks to say that I think I've forgotten how to cheer for the Oilers. I wasn't even able to watch the entire game because between intermissions, I just didn't have that desire that I always did to make sure I was there for the start of the next period. It was very strange to see the Oilers on the ice instead of guys like Crosby, Getzlaf, Nash, etc. It was also weird to watch a team that is obviously struggling versus a team that is full of all-world talent. It's like trying to watch some cartoons you enjoyed as a kid but it just isn't the same when you're fifteen years older and wondering how in the world you could have ever watched that cartoon when you were five years old.
But with all that's being said, I think I just need to refresh my love for the Oilers. That's not lame at all ;) It's also been a time of adjustment to come back down to earth into reality after the Olympics. Everyone has been complaining over the last few days that life seems so much more dull and boring and depressing. I'm not going to lie, I'm a little lost because the Olympics sucked me in so much that I don't even remember how I lived my life before this whole thing happened.
Anyways, I have my AIA interview tomorrow; hopefully I don't choke on my saliva or say anything too stupid that will fail me from getting a chance to be a "coach" this summer.
Time is running out!
