It's been a couple weeks.
I had my fancy waxing done, fucking painful. She started by doing the "brazilian" bit of it, saying that it's better to get it over with. In hindsight, I completely agree with her, though it certainly wasn't pleasant. Let's just rip out every bit of hair on some very very sensitive skin... Afterwards it sure looked nice though. Then came the legs, I wasn't paying attention thinking that she was still putting on the pre-wax stuff that stops it sticking to your skin, but I was wrong. She grabbed a strip of cloth and started ripping. Ow!!!! Only nice thing is that the legs go much faster that the other bit because it's less delicate when it comes to applying the wax and such.
I'm now 2 weeks past the day of the waxing, and I'm lovin' it. At least on my legs. There's still some random long hairs that were missed, and it's barely starting to grow back now, but it was so much nicer during the weeks and i didnt have to shave and they weren't all itchy and it was really nice. Too bad it's so expensive.
After the waxing we had drinks at work, it was fun to hang out and drink and act stupid with all my friends from work.
Had our first game for the Uni team that Sunday and we lost to Karori. We tied them in preseason and I still think we should be the bettter team, but we lost 4-0 which makes us look real bad. Not sure how it happened, though we did have someone from the seconds playing sweeper and I just find it so weird to have a person defending behind me. I ran into her a couple times and didn't really know what I was meant to be doing.
Tuesday morning we headed down to Christchurch (chch) for the Uni Games. This is the only inter-university competition in New Zealand, very different from the states. The soccer team is made up of random Vic students, not the girls from my Uni team. We took the ferry over and then drove 5 hours down the the city. I won't go into detail about each day, but I will say that the team turned out to be pretty good, we even had a girl who's played for NZ! We lost our first game, then won 2 in a row, lost 1, and then won the 3-4 playoff game in penalties, so we got 3rd in the competition (of 7) and got medals to take home!! Playing that much soccer reminded me of the old days playing competitive soccer and I actually felt I improved so much jsut being around that much soccer again. Aside from the soccer the Uni Games is a huge piss-up, most of which I missed out on for several reasons. I was too poor to buy any drinks, I was too poor to stay in the backpackers with the others so I was staying at a girls' family's house, not so near town. I did have a good time though, interesting conversations with Laura, and making new friends and such.
Got back from that on Sat. night and had a game for my Uni team on Sunday. We won that game! The other team beat us all of last year, but we worked our butts off and actually did some passing and we won, it was really exciting.
Now I'm back at uni and such and I've got a cold, so I'm being kinda lazy and lying about in bed before my 3 indoor soccer games tonight. I want to start writing more about my thoughts and stuff, but I'm currently exhausted and think I'm going to take a nap instead. Next time.
Cheers
