Fads. I'm well known for them, and also known for my incredibly fickle nature where I become obsessed with something, commit to it taking over my whole life until I get bored or simply forget about it and move onto the next 'big thing' that I happen to stumble upon. Some examples? Taking AS level law in college because Ally Mcbeal and Legally Blonde made the law look so much fun and then dropping it after the first year when I realised it wasn't the slightest bit fun. Joining the gymnastics group at uni until I realised the sessions clashed with my favourite student drinking night. Wanting to become an Olympian during the height of London 2012 mania. And more recently deciding I want to move to New York after my visit over there. I'm surprised I've even managed to continue writing this blog after a year and a half, I would have thought I'd have long ago got bored of it. Well, I'm about to change everything and actually go through with and then stick with a fad. No, really. And the fad in question? I'm going to become an Olympian.
OK, so maybe that's being a bit optimistic and a bit of a long shot, but the unexpected desire to get into sport is still with me, despite the Olympics, and Paralympics ending some weeks ago. And furthermore I've finally done some research online and have found some organisations that I'm going to get in touch with to me kick started into my new sporting lifestyle. First up is volleyball and I've found a club that has teams of various levels including the complete beginners that are pretty much clueless. That's where I'll be starting. I'm sure in no time I'll be working my way up into the more skilled teams of course, however I'm happy to start with the basics and see where it takes me. And who knows in 4 years time you could be seeing me volleyballing my way to Olympic gold victory in Rio 2016. Either that or volleyball will be a distant memory and I'll be learning how to be a stuntman, breaking into political science, deep sea diving, or some other fad that I've discovered after watching a film or TV show. I have faith though, and I'm sure in updates in the future I'll be explaining how well I'm doing in my volleyball team, or still going to the team socials at least...
That is all.
