Field Hockey, Ice Hockey and Law

Just a brief note as not a lot has been happening around here as we start to crack down on the end of term. Papers write, assignments to create and books to read! However, with all that I still find time for my sports. Saturday morning I traveled with the boys just out of town to battle in a game of field hockey. I could lie and say that it was close or that there was a point when the game's outcome hung on a thread. But the truth is the only time the game was close was during the first 30 seconds after pushback. We manhandled them to a 13-0 victory to increase our perfect record and take home our second straight shut-out. I am pleased to announce that we now sit atop the league with a game in hand. After talking with the coach/captain, turns out he wants to try me out at forwards next week just to see if I can score as effectively as I can stop our opponents from doing so. Looking forward to it, although my shot leaves something to the imagination! I guess the best way to learn is right in the thick of it.
Sat. night I took a crew, that mixed hockey boys, res kids, and campus friends, to their first ever Ice Hockey game. The Paisley Pirates hosted the Fife Flyers in my true love of sport. It was great for everyone to see a game and some of them got really into it, but it was terrible hockey! In 60 minutes of action there was one hit and it stopped the game because of an 'injury.' I made a few comments to the players as well to the refs and it wouldn't have been awkward if anyone else in the entire crowd had been making a sound. We could have been watching a game of golf and other than a slight chill you would have never known the difference. Between the two teams I saw maybe 5 players that would even compete in a junior league back home. Next year I want to run a fundraiser to have the Bighorns come to Scotland for a tournament!
Otherwise, my days have been spent planning holidays for after the studies end and trying desperately to keep up with school. So far the planning is going better than the school work! But I hope to rectify that with a library session tomorrow, a full day of class on Thursday and another assignment writing and study period Friday. Saturday I am off to the second and final Archeology trip and Sunday we have our first Football game of the season. I will make sure I update following the weekend!
