Oh my goodness. I went to a professional boxing match in La Porte last night. My friend, Jessica, got me to go with her because she didn't want to go alone (definitely don't blame her) and she had acquired a $20 ticket at some point. Long story short, I was there.
It actually turned out to be a very interesting experience. I have never watched boxing on TV, let alone happening right in front of my face. And, two guys that I knew pretty well growing up were boxing. It was very interesting to see!
After getting over the fact that too many people have too much aggression, I started appreciating it as a sport. It was definitely still not easy watching people get knocked around and knocked out, but I tried to look at it like the boxers did- just a sport!
Luckily, the guys that I knew from high school won their matches, so I didn't have to watch either of them get knocked out. Still, it wasn't especially fun watching friends get punched in the face!
Anyways, it was definitely an experience, and I am kind of glad I went just to see what it was. Also, Justin, one of the guys that was boxing that I knew, had worked really hard to get people to know about it and come. It was good that so many people came out to support him.
On a different note, it is SNOWING like crazy here! I am SOOOOO tired of winter! I am ready for spring weather. It seems like the warm days have been just a tease. Hopefully with April we'll start getting much warmer weather and much LESS snow. April is almost here!
I'll try to start taking pictures of my life and posting them, but right now I must go clean and unpack and get my life together. You would think I haven't had an entire week free. I guess I really took relaxing to the max. Too much to do!
Can't wait for school tomorrow! I'm so excited to see everyone and get back in the groove!
