The Plan

Ok, this might sound crazy but, I want to follow my dream.

I want to be a hockey player.  Since I was 2 years old, I've wanted to play hockey professionally.  Now, I want to play for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish.

This isn't going to be a philosophical post.  This is just me planning out my life for the next 4 years.

I am planning on being the "Rudy" of my era.  I want to be the dark horse.
I am a Texas boy, Pre-med, Bio major (for now) and I want to be on the Division 1 hockey team that plays teams like Michigan, Minnesota, Boston University, Boston College, North Dakota, and Alaska.

To get to this point, I have to change my lifestyle.  I will get in shape (or in better shape than I am in now), eat right (which is so hard when there is Sbarro, BK, Chipotle, and 5 Guys so close), and study hard so I have time to focus on hockey.

I realize this is going to be difficult and I know there will be days where I don't want to run in the morning in the freezing South Bend weather.  But if I want to be the one playing during "Hockey Night in South Bend," this is what I have to do.

I am getting my ipod ready, bringing out the running shoes, the warm-ups, and the "can-do" attitude.

But seriously the running part is nothing I need to worry about.  I mean, I have the most beautiful campus in the world to run around.  I have no complaints.

This doesn't mean I will stop blogging.  In fact, I will keep you updated on my status as a potential Notre Dame hockey player (along with sharing my random experiences and thoughts).
