Don't ask me why I decided this, considering I am not really into running/cycling/swimming in any way. I suppose I just thought it would be something cool to do for a young man of reasonable health.<br /><br />I walked in enthusiastically to the pool session and went up and introduced myself to the coach. While talking to her I tried to think back to the last time I actually swam a length.... nothing really came to mind. I then became painfully aware of my baggy trunks and lack of swimming cap or goggles. <div><br /></div><div>Fast forward ten minutes. It was then I realised I had no idea how to swim properly. After a couple of lengths keeping up with the pack I had swallowed half the pool and almost popped a lung. I didn't know when to breath, I didn't know you could bend your arms and I didn't know I had to point my toes. I was an absolute disaster. </div><div><br /></div><div>An hour an a half later I left the pool, a well and truly broken man.</div><div><br /></div><div>They haven't seen the last of me.</div>Ben McFeetershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09089801760883929642noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6298185953068000781.post-50446118689527704282011-01-16T12:32:00.000+00:002011-01-16T18:45:41.525+00:00The Library<div>After spending the first 3 years of my university career not knowing where exactly the library was, my finals have now changed things slightly. Most of my waking days are spent in the place, trying to pack as much information into my head as possible. </div><div><br /></div><div>I will admit that the library is a great spot for it. Other people working hard makes you feel guilty for doing nothing.

The first three weeks were a complete blur of busyness and stress and fun. The last couple of weeks of any semester are always crazy, you have so much work to do and yet there are so many fun things going on! I deliberately didn't write anything because I knew it would just be a depressing rant about how much work I had to do.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div>The second reason was that for the last week I have been off and have been doing some SERIOUS CHILLING. You have no idea how good it feels. Just sitting round the house playing PlayStation with my brother, watching some chick flicks, playing in the snow, hitting a few shops, eating massive amounts of Chinese food and hanging with my friends.</div><div><br /></div><div><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJzIdVyrneyMVwAhSNKGJdQjSz8u-acnKuzd0NB_WOV9U7Z5fUxvgpwJpeagIumyr09ga68xmppYjAxadznwyo9w_Cu97Tj-x-Lk2JrKnTTb7gY7UfPB3hixheXSUTrn9Igrf7dC6_f2s/s320/kat.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 241px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5554310764112988306" /></div><div><br /></div><div>It is now Christmas Eve and I am sitting wearing my Santa <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infant_bodysuit">Onesie</a> wrapping presents and putting the finishing touches on my Dad's annual mixtape.
