The off week
There are those weeks when you feel really good at school and then there are the other weeks. This past week was one of those other weeks. I seemed to wake up every morning quite tired and frustrated and it felt like things were just stacked up against me. I find during those weeks you have to find a way to release or forget. So I did.
The way I chose to relax was watching lots of hockey and my current favourite show: Battlestar Galactica.
With the Olympics just around the corner there are a lot of hockey games being played (in the NHL) because of the compressed schedule. And because I’m working at the hockey games during the Olympics and will be interviewing the players (see here for more info) I found that relaxing by watching hockey would also be educational! Good excuse, right?
Battlestar Galactica was another way for me to relax because – if you have seen the show – you literally leave this planet and forget about your life for a little bit. There are four seasons to the show and my girlfriend and I started watching in the summer and just started season four this past week. Not only does the content allow you to relax, but spending time with my girlfriend during the week is a good refresher as well.
Hopefully next week will be better! It has to be because it’s my last week of classes before my three week break for the Olympics. I start my Olympic craziness on February 7th with venue training at Canada Hockey Place! I’m hoping to document my Olympic journey some way or another. Stay tuned.
