IndexWell well well, it's been a little while. I have once again started my university studies. Although, due to my retake situation, my timetable is looking a little less full than would be ideal. I've decided to fill my time once again with hockey umpiring! It's been great fun so far, after going to the Freshers Fair at Cardiff Uni, I remembered that the medics hockey clubs existed! This is ideal as I always had a little bit of a culture problem with the "Uni Of" clubs? Nothing against them, the majority are nice people there was/is just a vibe around it that I can't really gel with. I know I'm not alone in this so that's reassuring! Anyway, I have found myself as the goto umpire for the Medics Ladies' Hockey Club 2nd Team. Due to how the Ladies' league works, both the home and away team at each match bring an umpire each. I'm available almost every week (Saturdays and Wednesdays, good for BUCS) so it's quite convienient for everyone involved. I'm enjoying it a lot, and at some point I'll talk more about it over on myhockey page whenever I get around to setting that up (as of writing, it's not today...probably).
Halloween is fast approaching! I have a costume planned but nowhere to wear it, I don't particularly feel like going to the Esports Soc Halloween party (don't ask me why, I won't tell you) so the issue is I don't have anywhere to wear it. I think I'm just going to keep it for another year, or it might come in handy at an event or something? Not sure. As for what it is? That's a secret!
I've just realised this is 'page 3' of my blog... now, now settle down. Interestingly, I'm too young to remember page 3. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, thats fine. Page 3 is something that is better left where it was. Anyway, safe to say I won't be adding anything on here.
I've just watched LEC 2025 | Format Explainer on YouTube and I think it's interesting! I'm excited to see what this 'Winter Internation' event is. In all honesty, I'd quite like something which features minor regions a lot more prominantly. I know it won't happen due to budget/interest but one can hope. The fearless element feels very gimmicky. It's something to draw eyes to winter. In my opinion, seeing how the new teams perform (everyone does mad roster swaps after Worlds) is pull enough for me to watch. Bo3s in Spring and Summer is nice. The group element of Summer could produce interesting results, I'm 100% looking forward to how that turns out!
I think I have got my plushies set up on my desk in a way that I like. I should put a picture up of my setup. My hope is that the gallery page becomes something akin to an old photo book. The issue is that I currently don't take enough photos. I think I shall start, beginning with something mundane and of cultural value like hockey pitches or something (idk, it's got more cultural value than say, an outfit check). Trains is a good one, and I have the experience of travelling on a few at the start of next month. I could take photos then. Might be an idea. However to facilitate that I would actually need to write my gallery page so yeah...we shall see!
Anyway, that should be the end of blog #3! Hopefully I start to give this project a little bit of love again. It would be nice to have some kind of legacy/logbook. Adrian out!
