I did it...

I survived. Finals are over; papers have been turned in. Perhaps this is a sign of dementia, but over the past couple of weeks, I began to think about the similarities between taking finals and playing soccer. (Go ahead and say what you're thinking: "Crew Fan, you're crazy." Now that it's out of your system, you can continue reading.)

In school, you spend weeks being trained by your professors/teachers. You learn all sorts of facts (in theory, anyways), and may even have the chance to put them into practice. You then spend hours and hours studying on your own.

In soccer, you spend weeks being trained by your coaches. You learn all sorts of techniques and plays, and hopefully have lots of chances to put them into practice. You then spend hours and hours training on your own.

See? It makes sense to me!
