Try something new

Sometimes the best things in life are just stumbled on across by accident. For example the the classroom thats always open at uni with an old upright piano tucked up behind the door that i only found by trying a new route to my lecture theatre early one morning.
Well just last week i did my RSA certificate, and even though it wasn't meant to, it finished an hour early. With my lift not due for another hour and no way of contacting them without credit on my phone i went to seek shelter from the cold. I ended up at the indoor Basketball courts, and stumbled across Social Badminton. It looked like a bit of fun, so after doing my research, which basically involved reading a poster on the wall, i organised a group of people to try it out last night. What i thought would be about and hour of hitting a shuttlecock around turned out to be 3 hours of fun and positive feedback, coming to the conclusion that it would be a regular event.
It's for these types of happenings that i love to explore and wander off the beaten track. I have no clue where im going in life half the time, but i think that as long as i do things i enjoy, and find new and interesting things to try, i will end up being content in where i end up, not wondering what would have happened.
So i encourage our small fanbase to try something different today, whether its taking a different route home or just going to a different restaurant/take out for lunch, or even read the local notice boards, because you will be surprised what you will find.
