End of the Volleyball Season

So I joined a rec league volleyball team that Tin setup this fall. Although I suck at volleyball, I still have a lot of fun playing it, and if it’s in a rec league then there’s no shame in suckage.

I had a lot of fun for our first game on Monday. It seems like playing all that ultimate frisbee has helped my hand-eye coordination so I played better than I thought I would, especially considering how rusty I am. We played two teams and both matches were close. We walked away with one win and a loss. Regardless of the results, it is fun to just play.

Unfortunately I found out that all the games are held at various schools across the city late at night so I can’t play this season. I have no mode of transportation than the bus, and if anyone has ever lived in Edmonton they know that the transit system here is atrocious. So my first day of Volleyball is my last :-(

I am left without any sport this fall term other than going to the gym. This is one of the many reasons why I love Ottawa so much more than here, because at least there I can get off my butt to play sports.

Anyhow, Tin gave me a ride home that night on his new crotch-rocket. Aside from the whole homosexual appeal of two guys tight on a motorcycle, it was my first real time being on an actual bike. It was wicked! I totally need to buy one, if not now, then hopefully in the near future when I start work. I find the meshing of man and machine to be really romantic and cool at the same time. \,,/ EXTREME!!!

Mo-ped gang anyone?

    You know there are intramurals through the University right? All sorts of sports. Even volleyball. Teams are always looking for more people.
