Actually brief post

I'm supposed to be writing my paper, so I'll be (sort of) brief. I played my first game of league handball yesterday! It was against Saint Anthony's Athletic Club, and I was looking forward to playing against Andy Nett. Unfortunately, he switched to doubles sort of last minute, so I played a guy named JJ instead. I won 21-7, 21-20. He served first in the second half and I struggled a bit to adjust. He was up 20-14 by the time I finally figured out a good left-handed return for his lob z-serve. I made some pretty good gets to prevent him from winning, and he was getting pretty worn out by the end. He hit almost exclusively deep pass shots, so that took some adjustment as well. Instead of running up to cover the front for kill shots like I usually do, the better strategy was to hang out right behind him so I could get to either side after he hit the inevitable pass. When we finished I asked if anyone was going to stick around, and everyone declined. Andy said he'd go to the university on Thursday, though. So I get to play him tomorrow.

Another thing that happened yesterday was that I ate a muffin. A chocolate muffin, to be precise. It was the equivalent of putting some oil on a hill in that it created a disastrous slipper slope. The result of which is that I might be dead by the end of today. You see, at some point between yesterday and today my willpower disappeared. I woke up around 5:00 today and revised a piece of writing for my mom. I'll talk about that some other time. I also made breakfast. I had a bit of leftover pancake, a bowl of cereal, and a banana. A bit later, lunch happened. It was amazing. I ate two full lunches consisting of salad, hummus and pita bread, an Indian chicken dish, an Indian vegetarian dish, rice, and dessert. I went through the line twice. Dessert the first time was triple chocolate cheesecake. The second time, carrot cake. I was helpless. A mere 2-3 hours later I was sitting in the cafe working on my civil procedure group project with a partner when the man from behind the counter set out the first round of food. I immediately grabbed a salad with turkey and bacon on top. Then I went back up and grabbed another salad (this one with fruit and walnuts) and a gluten-free turkey sandwich. That was the first round. The second round I grabbed a banana, a container of chopped pineapple, a raspberry and white chip muffin, and an apple fritter.

I found this comic a while back, and only just looked at it again recently. I thought this one was funny:

Most of the comics are just puns. Right up Sarah S's alley, but not usually my cup of tea. Alright, time to write. Thanks for reading!
