Because, for whatever reasons, our school like to start terms on Wednesdays, I finally got to have my "first class" for my final class this term, today. It is somewhat inconvenient because by this time, we're almost back full fledged into our routines and such. So suddenly having to plop in a class on Monday for the first time, it makes it seem a little awkward and lagging behind.
But anyways, since coming back to Calgary, I've become a ton more reserved. I'm not too sure why, but I just have had no desire to get involved with anything outside my room unless it was something I couldn't resist. So other than getting food, I left my room just a few times. As for anything of any significance, I played futsal one night. I must say that, not having kicked a ball since November (when I got shin splints), I was rather rusty. And because I hadn't built up any strength in my legs since doing pretty much nothing with them for a month and a half, I couldn't kick the ball properly. Haha. Also, early in September, I broke my juggling record again (I forget the exact number), but for the few times I tried last week, I had trouble breaking 20. /sadface
Yesterday, I rented some skates (because I left mine at home) and went to play some hockey at an outdoor rink nearby. For someone that hadn't skated since probably high school, I did okay. Other than my feet hurting FAR too much because the skates don't fit my feet width-wise, I was reminded of how bad a skater I am. I have no problem skating forward, making little turns here and there, and turning left via crossovers, but other than that, I clearly lacked the ability that I needed to keep up with the best players that played. Considering some of the guys that went actually play hockey, I guess it isn't a fair comparison! Anyways, I seem to always manage to pull off something crazy every game I play in sports. I had a breakaway and so I decided to try to be cheeky and pulled a move that required sticking my stick and puck underneath and between my own legs and then flipping it up into the net. Well, suffice to say, I pulled it off, then tripped over my own stick, fell onto the ice and made it seem like I did that on purpose by rolling over a few times flapping my arms and legs in the air. Embarrassing!
After some incredible fun, I woke up today with my hamstrings and quad muscles insanely sore! But it was worth it.
Ummm, coming back to the "school" side of things, I am not overly eager for this term because it is going to be incredibly busy. And especially now that winter has decided to finally pay everyone a visit, I'm more inclined to just hermit in my room more than I originally would have wanted to. Luckily, I still have one class that I will look forward to going to because it is taught by my favorite professor and advisor, Bill McAlpine! It is a Foundations to Church Ministry class - exactly the stuff that I am passionate about! Other than that though, I'm not too excited. As today was my first public speaking class, my prof sang us songs - awkward! It was incredibly cheesy. Unfortunately.
With the rest of my classes, it's a lot of repetitive and dry things, so I might not be too excited for much this term. With my practicum, I just hope that my heart can adjust to this church because I am honestly not doing a very good job to be excited to serve. It's so different from home and CCBC last year; I was so excited and took so much time out to prepare and think about the things I need or want to do at home, but with this church, it's a struggle. I actually wonder if it's because this is labeled as a practicum and I am being monitored and all that. Maybe, maybe not. Either way, I guess I have gained a little bit of experience in what it's like to not really want to, or at least be a little reluctant to, do ministry.
Homework starts tomorrow! Good thing I will be accompanied by this amazing track! So dreamy <3
