Ok so it turns out there really is alot more girls interested than i thought.  i just got an email telling me intake was going to be capped and to reply and confirm my interest.

so fingers crossed i make the cut and got my email in quick enough !

UPDATE : my first minor derby sucess ! emailing back in a timely fashion wins again, although i’m not sure where this skill is going to help me in the future. Anyway turns out they are breaking up the freshies in 2 groups (nearly 60 girls per group). i will be in group one which does their thing in about a week from 5pm to 7pm. starting to get pretty excited/nervous now !

wow. there sure are alot of girls wanting to roller derby ! Just came back from the information sesssion, sat on the grass and talked about whats expected of us, what we can expect and how to prepare for boot camp.

i can’t really describe how excited i am, i’m sure theres alot of girls in a similar position at the moment. i just can’t wait to get started. It seems like i’ve been waiting forever for something like this to come along.

i look forward to getting to know some other freshies. right now i really have no clue on anyone elses ability and where i fit in.  There seems to be a huge number of girls that want to join the VRDL this year. This leads me to believe there will be a little bit of competion to get a spot. This is a scary thought seeing as right at this moment i can only really skate in a circle.

So my check list for bootcamp is :

learn to do at least one stop, buy some decent knee pads, invest in another helment for my abnormally large skull/hair and stop stressing out.

I’ve decided that if i don’t make it this round i’m not going to be too heart broken. whatever happens i’ll stick with it and hopefully make it in sometime in the next 12 months. either way i really am just enjoying having a good skate !

Next Update : Boot camp Week One (eeep!)
