PVEC Rugby

This was my first year that I actually carried through with playing rugby. While may not have been a good idea to go out between math papers and play an incredibly high contact sport, it was certainly a good way of relieving stress and applying all those math lessons on vectors. I certainly learned a lot this year, going from zero knowledge about the sport to being able to play in three different positions. Who knows, maybe I'll pick it up again when I go to university ...

Looney Uni

This is a short time lapse of me going for a unicycle ride around Lunenburg, unfortunately the motion made the pictures blurry, but you can get the general idea.

Cirque de Mertens

Most of the action component of my CAS hours will be working on what I call my "circus skills". These include juggling, unicycling, and stilt walking. I'm constantly practicing and trying to learn new tricks, occasionally involving two of these activities at the same time. The great thing about an activity like juggling is that there are always improvements that can be made and new things to learn. Once you can juggle three balls, you can start learning tricks, clubs, or add a fourth ball.
