Why are they tempting me

The more I think about it, the more I want to join Cambridge's taekwondo club.

I used to have a knee-jerk reaction of "AW, HELL NO" every time someone suggested that I join Brown taekwondo (TKD). It was simply too time consuming, and the idea of getting a new injury every week wasn't very enticing. But after seeing all the friendship and close camaraderie at the end-of-the-year Brown TKD banquet... I actually really wanted to join. And I already know a full third of the Brown TKD members anyways.

I think, during Freshers Week, I'll try out both the fencing club and the taekwondo club at Cambridge. I'll see which one I click with most and join that one. My motivation for joining an athletic club is mostly for the camaraderie, to be honest, and not so much the competition. The only advantage of picking taekwondo is that it'll be something that I can continue doing when I get back to Brown. This is because Brown only offers varsity-level fencing, and nothing less intense than that. Boo.

(God, I can imagine the ridiculous amount of "likes" I would get on Facebook if I joined the Cambridge University Taekwondo group.)
