I really feel like BYU Rugby helps me to synergize my American life with my New Zealand roots. I would never profess to know a whole lot about the sport--however, it just makes me feel more comfortable. I hardly even watched rugby very often in New Zealand. But, watching it here in the South Field feels familiar.
Today, I met up with friends and we waited in line to get into the stadium. I decided to get a Mince and Cheese pie after we got in--so, my friends got one too. We ate the pie as we watched BYU score. See...it was just comfortable.
Now, I'm not complaining about anything. I love being at BYU. However, sometimes it's good to feel a little bit of home, you know what I mean? Oh, and WE BEAT THE UTES!!! Go cougars!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Eating pies together at a game sounds like a Kiwi tradition. Maya Angelou once said, "You can never go home again, but the truth is you can never leave home, so it's all right." Your reminiscing reminded me of one other quote, "Although we love the idea of choice - our culture almost worships it - we seek refuge in the familiar and the comfortable." ~Hugh Mackay, a Scottish gentleman born in 1640.
