Sitting here in the Student Athlete lounge with Ryan Wilkinson and Mitch
Kaufmann doing a little homework before practice later this afternoon.
Earlier today I enjoyed a nice breakfast at Tim Horton's cafe located
right on campus in the Williams Center with John O'Connor. We had plenty
to talk about as he recently decided to settle down with a wonderful
young lady whom he has been conversing with for the past few weeks. He
told me he wanted to begin a relationship at the beginning of break when
he spent the night at her residence in Orchard Park before heading home
to see his family. He went to enjoy a nice nap later on at her place on
campus, however she was already napping. They most likely will be
hanging out later on tonight. However I wont be there to accompany them
as I have a major homework assignment due tomorrow, so my evening will
be spent in the library and the learning center after a few night
classes and a great practice.
Sometimes it is difficult to balance athletics and school, but then
again I would not want to be doing anything else. I cannot imagine life
without hockey, or even hockey without school. Featuring I never played
Juniors, school and hockey have always been tied together. Hockey
provides a way to get away from it all, to focus on something else other
than your every day activities. To get your mind off of a recent
relationship, or a break from studying for an exam. They say exercise
can improve your mood and boost your energy. What a more perfect way to
exercise than with a bunch of your closest friends playing a sport that
all of those close friends have a passion for. Which in return will help
you with that exam you need to do well on or the relationship that may
not be all you hoped for.
