My Soccer Club at Penn State
I think that my life could be divided into two parts. One is the professional life, in which I work on my course work, my research, attend conference to social networking with other researchers. The other side of my life is my personal life, into which I do not want to add anything related to courses, research.
In my opinion, clubs are places where I can relax, truly enjoy the life. So today I will introduce my soccer club at Penn State. Below is one photo of the soccer team taken after one game :
Most of the members in this club are graduate student at Penn State University Campus. We come from different colleges and department. Some are from IST, some from biology, some from IE, some from Computer Science.... We meet every Saturday afternoon and play a game.
This thing I gain from joining this club is that firstly, I get a chance to exercise and secondly, gain friendship. The pressure of coursework and research make me unable to find time doing exercise during weekdays. The only excuse I can find for not working in Saturday afternoon is to meet my club members in the field:)
This is a community of interest,in which we share the same interests in soccer and we play soccer even the weather is bad. In the winter when the snow is heavy, we are willing to spend one hour cleaning the field and then play for another one hour. We help each other like brothers.
I plan to join more clubs in the future. I want to join a movie club because I like movies. I am looking forward to the new 007 movie Quantum of Solace!
