Life With No Basketball
So for about a week, I’ve been just a “normal” college student. I’ve had class then the rest of the day to myself. This is a very odd experience for me, since I normally have class then practice. The one thing I’ve found is that, I don’t like it.
Now, this is probably because I got into a routine and loved it, but this is a routine I don’t know if I could get used to. I have to have something to do, or I feel like I’m wasting valuable time. During the season, at times it may seem like I have very little personal time, but this is way too much. I prefer to have the amount that I have during the season since it means that I’ve got something important to do.
I have been able to reflect on life a little more and start planning for after this year, and I will say that I am proud of the way my parents raised me, since I have been able to plan for the future, I have found I can graduate in December, as long as I take one or two summer classes. I would then spend that second semester possibly being a volunteer with the basketball team and start really using my contacts to try to get my next step in my dream to become a coach. My advisor, Ted Curtis, has done a wonderful job with helping me make sure I have my classes in order and just being somebody I can talk to.
Well, all in all, things are good, but life with no basketball isn’t anywhere near as good as life with basketball.
