Floorball and other random stuff

Yo! What's up :>

I haven't really blogged here for a while, I kinda miss to be honest. Well well, here we go, basically I got many things to write up so it will probably look clutter and very random.

Yeah, I know this is a gamer website, but is anyone here engaged in floorball?
As far as I know, it's mostly nordic countries + like, Czech, no idea though.
The sport is awesome. It's kind of like Icehockey, except it's inside, with a ball.

I recently quit football (It's football, not soccer >=|) and joined a local floorball team, and even though I'm not good at all I find it very enjoyable. I also recently bought some gear for being a goalie so that's what I'm up to right now, it's awesome!

Now for more boring parts... School, sucks.
I have around three essays to write, one about a swedish author, one about economy and one about anything physics related.

The author one, I know what to do, I just need the willpower to do it, I have to turn it in on friday and I haven't even started. Even though we got an example to follow, I find it hard to answer different questions or make the paper look "good". It all looks clumped up with just facts about the author.

The economy one, I really don't have to worry about since I have about a month to write it.
Oh, that's right, it's not really a economy essay but rather how I would finance my dream company, and I'm thinking about writing something E-sports alike. Like, how I want a swedish league and european, but it's quite hard to write about that since I need to include like export, import and all that shizzle...

I have a question about the physics one, I don't know if it's worth writing it. It's just for raising my grade from B to A. The reason I don't feel it's worth it is because at the moment, I have 285 grade points, 315 is max, so I'm pretty sure I can get into any "Gymnasium" (Google translates it into Upper Secondary School and Senior High School) I want.
But if I'm to write it, I'm not sure what to write about. It's basically, I choose something relating to physics, ask a question or two, and try to explain them as good as I can.
For example, How does Fusion work?

Also, in June I quit Secondary school (?) and I have to apply to an "Gymnasium" and I'm unsure which programme I should go.
At the moment I'm stuck between: Science, Civics or Technology.
All my friends will go Science and people say it's the widest one with the best choices after my "Gymnasium" studies. The problem is though, it's all about math, physics, biology and chemistry.
Sure, I like math but I hate the others...
The reason I don't know what to choose is because I have no idea what I want to work with, well, I want to work with something E-Sports related, but the path there is the difficult part.

Funny how does blog was about floorball then turned into whining about school...
Anyhow, got my floorball exercise now, so I gotta go, I'll try to answer you asap!

Keep it cool!

I played floorball a lot as a kid and I still root for my hometown team (Josba). I have been thinking of buying Floorball League game but no friends of mine don't want to play it. :[ Seems kinda cool of a game actually. It's like NHL series for floorball.

1. Go natural science.
2. No, 285 won't be enough for any high school, at least not in Stockholm.
3. For the physics essay, you should pick anything that's represented in the later high school courses - a good example would be explaining anything from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave - keep it basic, use maths and examples. Explaining Newton's first law in very simple terms would be another good topic.
4. Economics - depends on the teacher, since it's Sweden - it's not very 'out there' to assume he/she is a Marxist - write about http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tendency_of_the_rate_of_profit_to_fall with or without mentioning the contemporary criticism of the theory depending on said teachers beliefs. Or if you want to keep it more Swedish - write about the problems with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keynesian_economics
4. Floorball - never heard of it, have fun with it.

Look, I'm not trying to be steriotypical, funny or stupid, but I know some people from Stockholm and I have way better grades then them, what are they gonna study?
Good thing I live in the countryside then, around here some schools accept 200 for Natural science. So like, with 285, I'm guarranteed that I get in, kind off. A friend of mine who's one year older got in the the High school I wanna attend to and he had around 260 plus that that year there were way more that searched than this. Glad I don't live in Stockholm.

Thanks for the reccomendations, will probably use the Wave one =)

Ah yeah, Ofcouse, Slovakia =) It's usually the Ice hockey countries that play Floorball, I suck at skating, so I like floorball more, but I've played some Ice hockey as kid. So I feel on the gear part, it's so expensive =P

In North America we just call it Indoor Soccer. The chaos makes it fun as hell though.

It's hard to find the sport outside of Europe. I've played in this tournament a few times though with a local team d:
