<p>I played tennis in High school and ran track off and on, but i was never terribly serious about them.
I decided that I wanted to do a sport at wesleyan, and do something that I’d want to stick with for the next four years. I started crew three weeks ago and I love it. I’m on the novice squad but a lot of people who start at that level end up going up to varsity and doing very well.</p>
<p>I have practice everyday from 4 15-6 30ish. And then AM practices on saturdays coupled with regattas on the weekend every now and then (this weekend is the first one). It’s pretty hectic, because I have class right before and right after crew sometimes so I’m eating an apple or two for dinner and eating ramen noodles when I get back at night but I think it’s worth it.</p>
<p>I ride my bike around campus a lot (the back wheel’s busted, dang it i can’t ride it uphill anymore, might just buy a new one) and that helps save time. As far as student athletes go, a lot of people I know who are doing sports have enough time to do other things they like. Someone I know plays basketball and does acapella, one of the guys on the crew team is on varsity and is a triple major in math econ and comp sci. So if you’re up for the challenge go for it.</p>
<p>As far as time management goes, it’s nice to be on a sports team. You never need to wander around campus on the weekend looking for stuff to do, you know where everythings going on.</p>
<p>Did anyone here hear about immortal technique playing at wes?
Tickets were sold out before i could get them, but all my friends thought it was spectacular!</p>
