Tennis, Oh My

Last night I had my last tennis class (beginner level of course). Even though I ranked at the bottom of the class I would still like to pat myself on the shoulder. It was the first course that I finished without missing one single class. On my course report my instructor wrote something like this: ’Vivi, you need to be more patient with tennis, steadier, and less emotional…’ For a moment I thought he was talking about my life not my tennis skills :P I know all too well, either way, he nailed me right there.
There were 4 people in my class. Everyone was left handed except me. At the end I was pretty tired of getting hit on the backhand side constantly. Tennis is so much fun. It ends up pretty high on my fun list, maybe after books, maybe after music too, ok, after shopping as well :P I had not played any sports until this class. I never liked sports especially competitive sports. I don’t like to compete. Maybe I am just afraid to lose. I am that kind of people who like to exercise the big part of the brain much more than the small part of it. Tennis is not an easy sport. It is much harder than it looks like. I am usually out of breath after 20 minutes game play. I know I am out of shape, but still, it is hard to imagine that the pro players have to play for hours for a game. I am going to take the next level course next week. Hopefully there won’t be so many left handed people in the class. I know it’s a good practice, but enough is enough :P Hopefully someday I can play a real game. My biggest problem right now is to find someone to play with me, someone who is just as bad :) Somebody? Anybody?!

I've moved some of my old posts from another blog here. They were all posted at once and the order was a bit messed up. It might seem confusing, sorry. From now on this will be the only blog I update.
