Rugby

July 28, 2024

Waking, it took me a few moments to settle down and realize I was not in immediate economic peril. When my dreams are turbulent they are often about what am I going to do for a job? How am I going to finish my degree? Where will I go now that the university has let me go? Where will I live now that I’m homeless?– things I don’t remember worrying about when they were possibilities.

Olympic-watching: Rugby is far more interesting than I’d given it credit for. Few things are more boring than watching water-polo. I would pay cash to the gymnastics commentator to stop using the words “hop” and “stick the landing.”
