It appears I’m back in the athletic mood, though this time without the athletic fitness level.
Monday and Tuesday treadmill runs were the beginning of my athletic endeavors this week. Not that anything about running uphill for a half hour is impressive or exciting, but hey, we’re trying to get back into shape so some baseline fitness is probably necessary. I’ll let you all know when I have some.
Wednesday is when I began my real high-level athletics. I’m talking about the first bowling match for the “Dickered Terms,” the finest bowling team at Duke Law school. Composed of Choksi, Holmes, Lee, and myself, we plan on dominating the league this year while out-drinking all other teams and sporting the creepiest mustaches at the alley. My first game, I could not hit a damn spare for the life of me, so instead I put up a bunch of 9′s and an extremely low score of 120. The second game was better, though I would’ve liked for more strikes to fall. I did hit many more spares, however, to finish with a 152. Going to have to get better to be the best. I smell rapid improvement ahead, however.
Thursday was quite the experience. I showed up to…wait for it…rugby practice. You might say, “But Ponch, you don’t play rugby!” You would be correct, up until Friday. Then you would be wrong. After receiving an announcement from the graduate student association here at Duke, which mentioned a graduate rugby team, I decided to give it a try. I have no real idea what’s going on, am incredibly out of shape, and am small compared to everyone else at the practice. I’m also still feeling pretty beat up. But that was some fun shit. Reminded me, perhaps appropriately, of both high school football and high school soccer. I shall show up again on Monday, hopefully with cleats this time.
On Friday, my work week was completed on an academic high when I found out that (a) apparently at least three professors thought that I understood their classes relatively well, and (b) I pwn civil procedure.
Today, Saturday, I continued my athletic pursuits by using a putter that I bought at Play-it-Again Sports for $20 to putt at various targets in my room, usually successfully. I imagine that I will be a smokin’ putter by the time law school is done. This will serve me well in my career by allowing me to kick the crap out of my future bosses at golf for seventeen holes, before letting them win on the 18th. I also watched basketball and ate chips. Great day. I highly recommend Kettle brand’s Honey Dijon variety of potato chip. Delicious.
Separately – Holt! Get me that restaurant review!
