eheheh..
also, recently i've been very excited about archery club because i'm starting to finally show improvement! i think one of the things i love about archery is that dedication surely pays off. it takes very little natural skill and much more listening, learning, and practicing.
originally, i thought i would just do archery for fun as a college hobby, since i'm already a bit too old for competition. my reasoning is that most people would have one year to learn and three years to improve through competition (but alas for a transfer like me, it's too late to become team-worthy). but after yesterday, seeing as i managed to score rather high pretty consistently, i'm beginning too reconsider.
archery is such a great destresser. it livens up my spirit after a long day of classes and gives me energy. last friday and this monday were particularly good because i got to meet and mingle with team members, who are all very nice, but until now, always distanced. and with the smaller, tighter group of ascent people, we're beginning close the gap and show that we can have fun too!
when i first began shooting arrows at the archery club, i did it because archery was so fun. everyone was very shy, timid, introverted -- but i didn't care. i just wanted to shoot some arrows and get better. it's hard to believe that now i have a few friends within the club, and i'm starting to get to know the team members as well. it's even harder to believe that i'm now even beginning to consider investing on my own bow and arrows and participating in tournaments.
ah, what a lively college life i'm having. if only academics were going well too..
