Good afternoon blogosphere. I am really starting to get into this lark, I'm going to try and get even more regular. The problem is having stuff to talk about. At the moment I'm in my room at uni, not doing much in between revision sessions wanting time to speed up so I can get these 2 exams out of the way. I could complain all day about the university not listening to what we said in our surveys regarding the exams but hey, why would you want to read that?
Today is a Monday, I've never had a problem with Mondays it's Tuesdays i could never get the hang of. It's a relatively OK day for Preston in the winter, however, I haven't ventured outside yet. All my Christmas shopping has been done already, that's right I'm a guy who actually gets it done early, shock horror. The past few Christmases I've been working, which frankly sucked, I am not even going to bother looking until the new year for a job because i have not had any decent fun before 12 on new years eve either because of my work commitments. So yeah, hopefully a good Christmas/New Year period.
There is one huge thing i am looking forward to when we get holidays. The fact i can go home and that the majority of my friends will be back in town, and that we can muck about playing football until we pass out. I need to play football because I've put on quite a bit of uni weight.
Well in other ways I'm on edge because i have like just over a month until I'm back into club cricket. Don't get me wrong, I love netting with the guys from uni, but I'm just not good enough in comparison to those guys. Don't get me wrong, netting with those guys has improved my game massively, especially the mental aspects of bowling and my variation but i can't hit the damn ball when i'm batting,n ot even in the slower lanes.
For uniersity, I have consistantly said that I'm a bowler and fielder, which is evident, when I go back home however, expecially now I'm going to be playing more second team cricket I can focus on my batting as well. I know that the standard I play back home is nowhere near the standard the majority of the guys from uni play in, so I don't disillusion myself thinking I could play that standard, I couldn't I know this because the amount of mistakes I make is a hell of a lot more than I can afford to make if I played that standard. This looks like I'm beating myself up, hwoever, this is a reality check for people to read this.
Wehn the season starts back home in April, I will be one of the happiest people alive. I live for the sport, so much so that I'm a coach, a district assistant coach, a youth team manager, i will be undergoing another coaching course to upgrade my coaching status and now i'm joint second team vice captain. I remember somebody saying at the club, that I officially have 12 different titles, which i think is impressive.
