In addition to creating websites about women in sports careers and our own personal webpages, we were also given the assignment of partaking in at least three recreational activities throughout the course of this term. I have to say, I had more fun completing this assignment than any I've ever been given.

The first activity I chose was bowling. A bunch of friends and I decided to go bowling one Friday night a couple of weeks ago. I love bowling, so this did not seem like homework at all. We only played two games. I lost miserably during the first one, but am pleased to announce that I was victorious during the second.

The second activity I chose was hiking. Unfortunately it rained the day my friends and I decided to go, but it was still fun. We went to the Watkins Glen State Park in Watkins Glen, where there are plenty of beautiful gorges to walk through and waterfalls to look at. My friends and I took our time walking through the trail and stopped to take lots of pictures of the amazing scenery. I had never been there before, but now that I have seen how beautiful it is, I would definitely go back.

For my final part of the assignment, a few friends and I decided to play a couple games of basketball. It was a nice day out, so we decided to play on the outdoor courts. Basketball is my favorite sport, so this was probably the activity I enjoyed the most of the three.

Hearing all the interesting things that my classmates did to fulfill this assignment, I realize that there are so many different recreational activities that are available in my area that are both inexpensive and fun. If anything, this class just made me wish I had more free time to be able to do more of these activities. It also gained my interest in continuing to try recreational activities that I have not experienced before, such as geocaching or white water rafting.
