Yay I am in a good mood again
November 17, 2001
First I had my strategic management class again. Although most of the class is spent scrambling to jot down the notes the prof warps through, the rest of the time is spent discussing relevant business things. I love this class, the prof, and the 8:30am’ness of it. After that, I spent some time at work just wasting time (wasn’t working, just hanging out with people). After that, 3 hours of continuous volleyball!
I’ve decided that after martial arts, volleyball is my second favourite sport (are martial arts sports?). I’ve been wearing those ankle weights while playing for about a month now and i think it’s paying off. I went through 2 hours today and decided I had enough and took them off. I felt so lightfooted I almost took off. It’s so great. The people who play are getting so much better compared to the beginning of the term. I on the other hand seem like I haven’t gotten better. The only advantage I have is that right after I take off the weights, I get about 30 minutes of incredible speed. After that, the legs get used to the normal weight again and I return to normal mode. Doh.
My punch training is paying off in volleyball too. My serves are among the hardest in the gym. Although my accuracy isn’t that great (I estimate maybe 6 or 7 out of 10 make it), when they do go where they’re supposed to, not many people can dig it. Granted, most of these people didn’t play competitively before (like I did much). So skrew basketball from now on. I will just concentrate on volleyball.
I’m happy right now. I won’t be for the next few days though. There’s project after project after assignment after quiz next week. Plus I’m speaking at some forum for a bunch of chinese business people from Guangdong. I just throught I’d brag because it sounds like it’s something important (it’s not).
