Housing Assignments and Sprints

After paying my deposits I have registered for classes and been granted a housing assignment in the CWU dorms.  I lucked out and got into the brand new building, which are a set of suites.  I wasn't trying to share a room with someone (I've done that dance, both by my will and by Uncle Sam's) so this is a pretty substantial weight off of my shoulders.

Unfortunately, every Paramedic prereq was full, so I'm in for at least a two year ride at Central... which is fine, but I was hoping it would be a choice rather than a mandate.  Taking gen ed classes, Health, Comp Sci, Geography.  Doing the whole student thing.

As far as furthering myself as a rugger, it's been sprints in cleats, shuttle runs, and runs that start from being on my back.  Desert Hills has also rolled out their blocking sled for football.  Something tells me that they don't appreciate me pushing it a complete 180° from how I find it every evening, but that's life, and I gotta practice my scrum push somehow.  Squats probably work well, but it feels a bit more savage to slam into a device created to resist you and defy it's design.

Also my shoe fetish is rearing it's head again, and I want a second pair of boots regardless of the fact that I've never set foot on the school's pitch.  Oh and that whole deal that boots are a pretty position-dependent item and I'm not guaranteed the position I want, regardless of how superb a 7 I will be.  I was reading an article about open-side flankers that used the line, "a position of flair and workmanship." 

Sounds like me.
