I never really wrote much about the Women's Basketball National Championship Game. I watched it. I watched it in Gampel. But I have absolutely no idea what the heck happened. I checked in on the score from time to time during the game. I know we scored 12 points in the half but I don't know how we scored them. I don't really remember a signature play from the game either. All I remember is listening to the person that I was watching with. I think listening to her was the best thing that I could have ever have done because it got me away from sports. I didn't focus on the score, or the plays, I just focused on enjoying life and other people.
I love watching sports. It's my passion, as I am sure you can tell. I love what I do. However, sometimes you can get too caught up in what you do. Some people like sports for the social aspect, others knowledge, others the game, the people, the artistry etc. There are a lot of reasons I like sports but social isn't always, or even usually that aspect. I usually like rooting for my team and knowing what happens at all points of the game. I like the artistry too. I often watch games on campus to support people I know. I usually pay really close attention to the games. In doing that you can forget about just relaxing and enjoying life and enjoying other people. I think I will try to just relax at sports more and to go for social reasons more often, rather than just to know what goes on in the game, to root for a team or to watch the sport itself. That's why the National Championship game was such a GREAT experience for me.
I'm glad that for once people can talk to me about a game I watched, the National Championship, and I can just nod my head at whatever they are talking about and agree with whatever conclusions they came up with about the game. So often people ask me for my opinion and for once my opinion doesn't matter. I can be one of those people who asks how it happened.
