Musings
I wanted to go to Auckland Sword and Shield practice yesterday. I've been woefully slack about going to training in the last little while- often because of being busy with having to spend some time at Uni or just needing a day to myself.
I was on my way there, driving, and one of my contact lenses started playing up. Contact lenses are wonderful things most of the time, having worn glasses for a few years I really appreciate having peripheral vision again, but when they play up it is like having an irritating speck in your eye that you just can't blink out. Had to go home again and replace it. It had developed a split on an edge. Very annoyed, as it was a 2 week lens and I had only been wearing it for 3 days.
So I went to Argent Lords display practice instead. I I haven't been going to their display practice for awhile because I don't want to be roped into displays. They are a fun group of people in general, but they practice very hard for the displays and get quite stressed about them at times. I'd rather put that time and stress in getting good results for my PhD, no point in rushing around and getting stressed about swordfighting, which is something I'd much rather do just for fun. Their combat trainings are pretty good though, I have been making an effort to get to those recently in order to get fitter again. Ans so I can fight with reasonable competence at NAAMA.
