Volleyball

So my department signed up for intramural volleyball, and tonight was our first match.  We all originally really wanted to play soccer, but we signed up too late to play, so we got pretty much the last thing that was available.  

I really did not want to go, because I have a response paper due on Wednesday that I have neither started nor I really want to write.  But since we are in a co-ed league, there needs to be at least two women there to play; without me going today, we wouldn't have been able to play at all.  So I sucked it up and went. 

And I'm...really glad I did.  There is something to the doctor saying that it would be good for me to try and get back into some sort of sport/athletic activity.  Volleyball is not my forte at all, but it...kind of gave me a huge rush that I haven't felt probably since the last concert I was able to go to (so since...July, really).  So I will probably be trying to go to all of our games, just because of that feeling.  I felt alive.  And since that is kind of rare for me...I crave that shit. 

Now I think it would be awesome to start more pick-up games, like for soccer or something like that.  It could be really good for me if we could do things like that instead of going out to the bars all the time, where I feel really awkward because I don't usually drink or anything.  

I miss playing sports, it seems. 

I'm kind of wondering if the conversation is over, but that might just be my impatience talking.  I dunno.
