Rowing Update

So, I decided yesterday that University rowing wasn't for me. I love the team, the coach, and the girls, but I came here to travel, study, meet people, and volunteer (a requirement of my Rotary scholarship which I am excited about). I decided rowing for the University would take up too much of my time (2 practices a day, 7 days a week, for 6 months straight) and prevent me from making the most of my year abroad. So, this morning I decided to tell my coach (Trish) and the captain (Harriet) and since I'm such a pushover they convinced me to stay another week. They said next week will be different and they would hate to see me go - I have such potential. Long story short, I'll be rowing for the University for another week and then I'll rethink my decision. Although by then, they'll probably have my soul and I won't be able to leave, but I can hope.
