I have noticed something very interesting.
Tirithien is learning about hockey. He watches games with me, observes, and takes a genuine interest. He has even been looking things up on his own-- there have been times this season when he's known the stats and standings better than I have!
This may seem like a very small thing, but I've never had a boyfriend who took an interest in ANY of my interests before, and I'm enjoying it thoroughly.
It's not just hockey, either. It's what I learn at school or in my readings, what I did at work, music I like to sing, and anything else which might catch my eye. It's a strange phenomenon, but it's definitely a worthwhile one.
Of course fair is fair, so in exchange for hockey, I've been learning about college football from Tirithien.
The fun thing is when one of us gets crossed up in our sports and starts yelling insults from the wrong sport at the TV.
Tonight is the BCS championship game, the Ohio State Buckeyes vs. the Florida Gators, and as much as it pains a Michigan girl like me to do so, I have to pull for the Buckeyes in this one. (even though one of my cousins thinks I'm a traitor now!) Aside from the idea of rooting for the team from the same conference as U of M (kind of like family members, in a weird NCAA way), I lived in Florida when I was a kid. But I hated the Gators and their garish orange and blue colors. I pulled for Florida State! So, between rooting for the Big 10 and against the Gators, I am wearing a gray shirt today. No scarlet to be found, though. I can only go so far. ;-)
The new semester starts today. I am registered for 2 classes but can only afford one, so since I can add/drop with no penalty this week, I'm going to go to both and see which one I like better! One is the History of Europe in the 14th and 15th Centuries, and the other is American Intellectual History. They're on Wednesday and Thursday evenings.

You've become quite the pro on hockey during the past few years, eh? I want to read more of those "racial foods" you've fed us in previous blogs... those are nice...
It will be tough to decide which class to stick with....luckily you can visit both before making a final choice. Hugs!!!
It's pretty darn cool to have someone taking interest in football, too. :-)
Oh my goodness, I am definitely keeping the History of Europe class. American Intellectual History can bite me. Well, not really, but you get the idea. I'll post all about how wonderful my prof is later.
Oh good, the History of Europe sounds like something you would enjoy, so much more than American Intellectual History!
First down and ten. He shoots, he scores!!!!!
btw, I like the idea of taking the "Intellectual" history course!
