A Scored a Goal!

In PE that is. To end the semester, we played a version of water polo. Two teams. My team chose me to sprint to get the ball. Me, the guy always picked second to last in every team sport in high school PE! Hehe. And then, I scored the last goal!

This was unprecendented. I've never had a people look to me for leadership in an athletic context. In high school PE the only goal was to survive and I've more or less avoided participation in sporting activities since then.

I'm so glad I took my swim class. It was a last minute decision. It's ironic that compared to my planning classes with their projects and drawings and lectures and papers....I feel like I gained the most this semester out of swimming.

It got me back in the pool, which I forgot how much I really did love. It put me back in shape. I met some really cool people. Most importantly, it made me feel good about my health and my athletic ability. . .made me feel a lot more well-rounded.

I feel GOOD right now! I scored a goal! :-D
