April And Volleyball

Here Goes The First April Post

I had actually started another post yesterday, but I found that what I said sounded really stupid. My initial plan was to talk about homophobia and it's presence in the last little while of my life, but I don't know how to talk about that specific topic. In that case, why don't we talk about something that's a bit more light?

Welcome to April my friends.

Volleyball

Oh yes, the great volleyball season has finally started up. It's a shame that we don't open the season with a home game, but I think it'll be a relatively easy game (I believe it's the 10th at Byrne Creek). The one thing that I'm not looking forward to the season is how complicated everything seems to be. The idea of ordering jerseys and shorts was thrown into the air, and now I'm not quite sure where I stand. I mean, we're a high school level team, do we really need that kind of stuff? Along with the uniforms we've also started playing in a 5 - 1 formation. What 5 - 1 means is that we have one designated setter on the court at all times. Simply saying, second hits should always go to him and he will set, regardless of where he is at the time.

Our team is having a hard time adjusting to the new formation, and some of us have expressed switching back to last year's formation (one setter in the front row, regardless of who it is). Personally I think it's just a matter of the change. I'm on the fence with this because I don't really care. However if I had to pick a formation, I'd go with the one setter in the front row. I feel that we're more used to it, and our level of play isn't high enough so that the other team would be able to take a huge advantage of us.

That's it for the volleyball talk.

AGHHH YES, THE SPRING SEASON

You've probably heard me hype up the Spring season a lot of times in the most recent posts, and THERE IS ABSOLUTELY GOOD REASON. I'm actually kind of excited to take on so many ongoing anime, and I think that I'll just watch the ongoing I have planned and one finished.

That's about it for this post. Until next time. I'm an 8 for today.
