School/Hockey Update

The joy of school... This semester has started up. I only have 2 classes that actually require a decent chunk of time, but it feels like so much. My music appreciaiton classes are simple. I just take notes (when necessary) and listen to music. It english and anatomy that are killer. English is like 2 classes in one. There is the lecture part where we have quizes and in class writings and a paper due ever 4 weeks. Then in the tutorial we have separate work that we have to do, and separate reading. All the tutorial stuff is geared toward the big research paper that's a third of our grade. Then I have anatomy. I haven't been stressed or anything with the class so far, however after starting the skeletal system I now see the toughness of this course. Today alone we probably got 40-50 terms on the skull alone that we are expected to know by thursday. I'd like to think that I will study more for anatomy... but hmm, probably not. And that is my semester so far.

Now to handle all this stress, which varies from week to week, I have hockey. woohoo! This season is going well. We're 4-1. Our one loss being to the Warriors (green team) who have stacked their roster quite a bit this season. New this season, all the teams have names. Ooooo. We're the gladiators. Now that Robert has a job and is gone my fan section has shrunk down to 1 person. I got my first 2 goals of the season during sunday's game. Boy did it feel good. We won our game 5-1. My second goal, I think, was one of my best. I had two defenders in front of me, so I used one as a screen and shot between his legs. I went high stick side and hit the corner of the post and scored. It was really cool. Part of the reason this season is so much is fun is that this is our 2nd season together with the same roster. However a lot of us have been on the same team for a few seasons now, so we all know each other fairly well. It makes for great locker room conversations, for lack of a better word. Fun times... on and off the ice.

Late Addition- I am not sure how it happens, but somehow I was able to spill chocolate on my shirt today and then it melted. You know, Valentines Day = Chocolate (at least for me, probably cause I'm single) But back to my point, how the hell did I spill solid chocolate on myself today. If it were chocolate sauce or something liquidy that'd be more understanding. But no, a ghirardelli square!
