Tryout hangover

Published by

This morning I felt like a zombie. Forced myself out of bed, gulped back two bottles of water from constant dehydration and regretted all I’d done the night before. The tryout hangover. I know it well. Push-ups, crunches, laps, scrimmages, sprints — It’s been a crazy couple weeks. Even though my body is feeling the aches and pains, I can proudly say I tried out for FOUR different sports teams this semester at UTSC. Am I crazy? Um. Yes. I’m only taking three courses this semester, so I do have a bit more time to dedicate to athletics. The teams I tried out for were girls soccer, hockey, flag football, and boys hockey (yeah, I’m surprised too). Soccer tryout I’ve been on the girls soccer team for the past three years, so I felt extremely comfortable being at tryouts and already knowing the coaches and past teammates.

Pulse: UTSC students support Varsity Blues Football

Published by

Hey everyone! First off, welcome back to another fantastic school year! Whether you’ve entered your first year (little rookies) or fifty-sixth year (oldtimers, like myself) I hope your first week went swimmingly. For those of you who are new to UTSC Pulse, my name is Jessica and I will be providing you with regular Tuesday posts regarding UTSC athletics and fitness! I’m not actually in my fifty-sixth year of undergrad (even though it feels like it), I’m a fifth-year journalism student and will be graduating this June (eeks)! I have been an active athlete at our school, playing soccer and hockey, not to mention the odd belly-dancing and zumba class. My goal is to promote fresh and exciting news about UTSC sports, fitness programs, and events! The difference between me and a website or newspaper who will just “promote” is that I promise to participate in all I write about (example, my video last year of me attempting belly-dancing which you can watch by clicking: HERE). The school year has only started a week ago, but I have already …

Rosie MacLennan delivers a solid performance today in trampoline! CANADA’S FIRST GOLD IN THE SUMMER OLYMPIC GAMES IN LONDON! I was in the CTV control room when she won the medal and you should have heard the cheers coming from the entire building (which started once the defending champion from China fell on her last jump)! Not to mention it was cool so see most of the people in the control room STAND when our anthem played. We’re so proud of you Rosie, your late grandfather certainly had the best seat in the house once you stood on that podium! 🙂

LET’S GO BLUE JAYS!

Another summer goal is officially crossed off! 7. Attend a Blue Jays game. Yesterday night I attended a Jays game with Kyle and his friends for his birthday! Lucky us, the Jays defeated the Orioles 8-6 – it was a close game near the end, but the boys pulled it off! I’m talking like I had any idea what was going on…I just cheered when everyone else did and yelled BLUUUUUUEEEE JAAAAAAYYSSS every 2 minutes. Jose Bautista! My friend Emily and I at the game…and her boyfriend Spencer in the background. Made some cupcakes for the birthday boy! 🙂 The most attractive photo of Kyle and I. Weekend’s coming up, what are you guys up to? 🙂 XO Jessica TWITTER: https://twitter.com/#!/Jessica_Moy
