Recently I've gotten really into basketball. Like, really into basketball. I'm definitely one of those people that gets intensely into one thing for short period of time, and right now it's basketball. There's a group of teachers that plays every day after dinner, so whenever I don't have class I go out and mess around with them. They all have been playing for a lot longer than the two or so seasons I did in elementary school, but I've got a couple of inches on everyone so it works out nicely. I like hearing the complaint: "He's too tall!" Hopefully by the end of these two years I'll actually have some skills to go along with my height.
I think it's kind of funny that the two sports that I never really participated in growing up--football and basketball--are the ones that I'm most involved in. I'm also not looking forward to going back to the states and realizing that I'm actually not any good at basketball. That'll be sad.
I bet you'll be better than you expect by the end of the two years. On the other hand, I don't know if you'll still be inches taller than the people you play with. I also can say with certainty that you will always be better than I ever was!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the basketball! That is a great way to get to know the other teachers. Plus, and more importantly, it is fun.
