Hello fellow classmates!
This will be my first blog post I have ever written and I'm not completely sure how to start this or what exactly I 'm going to be talking about. A great piece of advice, and one that I hope that you will follow when reading this, is to go in with very low expectations so that you will always be pleasantly surprised.
I guess first I'll start off with a little about myself. My name is Jared, I'm 19 and have lived in Calgary all my life. As you can probably guess I am attending Mount Royal currently taking a Bachelor degree in General Science. I have been playing football for the past 6 years and am currently a member of the Calgary Colts and this has resulted in slowly turning me into an old man as I now have problems with my ankles knees hips and shoulders. This past season tore either my labrum or my rotator cuff in my shoulder. I had always been curious what an MRI would be like, the silver lining was that I got to have one. One of the techs had the most original description I had ever heard. He said that having an MRI is kind of like being at a rave, in a coffin. I had another procedure done at the same time, it was called an arthroscopy. It is when they inject die into the joint and then x-ray it to get very detailed picture. What they don't tell you is that the needle is three inches long!
At this point I am not 100% sure on my goals for this blog, and unfortunately don't have any that I know enough about to compare it to. However I do hope that it will be a way for me to express my opinions and be completely honest (to a certain point) about subjects that may not come up in everyday conversation. I would like to point out that I do not always have the "popular" opinion on some, if not most, subjects. However I always love a good debate so if you do end up reading this and not agreeing with something that I say do not be afraid to call me out on it.
I look forward to writing about different topics in the future so check in soon!
