Speediest Game In The World.

Yay! I am playing an awesome game called floorball. It's a little like hockey, only way faster (the ball weighs a matter of grams and the sticks are plastic and much longer). Since whenever I tell people that I play floorball, they give me weird looks, here are some pics:


So that's the players rushing for the ball. This golden ball looks so cool. I have one purple and one white one.



And here is someone scoring. The ball is just over the goalkeeper's head, so unless he miraculously does a crocodilean snap upwards, he's been beaten.

As you can see, it looks a lot like ice hockey without the ice, so the contact is way up. I fall at least once each training and about 80% of seniors wear sports tape for each training due to past injuries. So my wish for the next year is to stay injury-free, ahaha.

It was quite an accident, this whole floorball thing. I joined the tryouts because I liked playing so I thought I'd get a chance to play a little. Somehow I made it through all the tryouts, with no prior competitive experience--the only player who was not previously from hockey or floorball, I think. Coach said I was a borderline case, but I kinda figured that out. I tried out to goalkeep as well but decided I didn't like the weird bruises I got on my arms (red with little circles of white, when you get hit by the ball...they eventually turn blue), and though I'd make a pretty good goalie and a poor player, I thought I'd stick with the playing as a challenge to myself.

Although it's a little difficult to see, that's my stick over there on the right.

And of course the rest of uni is studying and all. So I dropped out of ballroom dancing. Spent the whole week researching for a history essay only to find out I had way too many points to fit into the 1500-word limit. Talk about kiasu. They don't tell you to do this this this anymore. I just figure it out by asking questions. So being me, I over-researched and gave myself a headache. Ahah...anyway I think I will drop history as a second major. I may owe it to my country to be a good historian, but I think I owe it to myself to do something I will actually enjoy, so I'm considering a minor in theatre studies or a second major in English.
