Today's post will be a rant. Around 2 weeks ago, I was in the weight room with my teammates working out and as i'm doing a weighted incline push up, I feel a sharp pain. I didn't think much of it at first, but as the following weekend progressed, it started hurting at the slightest movement. I decided to go to our athletic trainer first thing monday morning. I recieved an injury evaluation along with a pack of ice and flexol. I continued this for a week, hoping that it would get better by our first qualifying round. There was still a little pain, but I decided to play in the first two rounds and give my shoulder a rest for the remainder of the weekend. This is now the second week, and I am still doing rehab. More extensive rehab and my coach decided it would be best that I sit out for the remainder of the fall season so I don't further injure myself for the spring. Man, I am bummed. I was really looking forward to this next tournament at the beach. I'm just mad at myself for pushing myself too hard during weights, and would take it back in an instant if I could. But I guess we all make mistakes, and learn from them. I don't have to be the hero. I don't have to push myself past the limit in the weight room, and I don't have to play every single tournament.
In other news, I have registered for classes next semester and it looks like an extremely busy spring. I'm enrolled for animal nutrition(1st time ever offered at my university, I'm so lucky!), microbio, special topics in chem- medicinal chem (intro to pharm), and biochem. Still deciding if I wanna throw orgo 2 lab in there since it's only 1 credit and I haven't taken it yet, but we'll see.
No updates on animal/vet experience as i'm still looking for cars. And I need a car to get experience. :P
That's all the time I have for now. Physics lab!
Peace&love,
