craig has suggested i take today off to regroup and calm myself down. his logic is that if i keep approaching things in this bad head space nothing can come of it. he said i should find something to relax myself.
now sadly i can't make it out to a beach or even a fountain here today as it is raining buckets out there right now. last thing i want to do is head out there and catch a cold with sooooooo much to get done.
fortunately there is a thing called a common room here at salmond hall. i hear it has lots to do!
i'm most excited about the pool table... going to be a ton of fun!
a nice swim is just what i need to relax...
turns out this is the worst pool ever! getting down to the room i was informed by those in there at the pool table is not what it claims to be... now i appreciate the information provided by the rooms occupants, but did they really need to laugh at me too...
fortunately i had a backup... they also have a thing called table tennis down here, and hearing about this i challenged one of the hall members to a match...
i just needed to pop upstairs to get my equipment...
well my opponent owain was quite surprised when i returned, and rightfully so as my victory must have been apparent immediately. he couldn't believe the size of my racket. compared to his measly pathetic one especially.
he suggested i switch to one of the halls... man such desperation. i knew with tactics like that lame i was going to crush him!
he tried again to tell me to switch, and i cut him off. we had a game to play, not a chat to talk out...
with that the match began...
here we were two bitter rivals fixated on furious competition. i could already taste my win considering the pathetic size of owain's racket...
suddenly i made a startling discovery... table tennis is just like a pool table... very poorly named!
it was like a small version of tennis granted, but man you'd think in that case having a non-mini thing in the game would make you a monster...
WRONG!
i couldn't hit the ball right, and when i did it just flew off to the pool table (and though i didn't have to swim to retrieve it at least... i did have to get the ball back anyway)
after losing that match 21-0 i was feeling worse then when i got here.
that and i didn't even get to go for a swim, and the rain had gotten worse since i arrived in the common room!
determined not to waste this relaxation time i took up owain's offer of another match. this time i opted for the small racket he played with...
can you believe it people of the web wide world. not only did i play better, but i won best of three!
more then that. owain said we should hang out again sometime soon!!!
that's the second person to ask me to hang out in a week! my luck is coming around people of the innerweb!
