Let's Talk About Tennis

Well, I am still doing pretty much nothing with my life. What I am doing with it though isn't so bad. I beat the girl I was stressed over. She was pretty good, but I was just better. I beat her 6-3, 6-0. She won those 3 games in a row. I just won my games row after row after row. In fact she tried to cheat me on a crucial point because she was threatened by my comeback in the first set.

Because let me tell you, it was a damn good shot I hit-Backhand angle on the service line. When she called out I was pretty flustered. I deserved that point. Why the fuck did she just have to go out and do that?!? I even gave her a second chance by asking if she was sure and she responded with, "Yep! I'm positive!" What a party pooper. So you know what I did? I just gave her what she gave me right back. She served a perfectly good serve. I could say it was right in the middle of the box. I called it out. I walked to the other side. I was ready for the next point. Not to my surprise, she questioned my call, but I just shrugged my shoulders and said, "Yep! I'm positive!" She never cheated me after that.

The next match was good. I lost badly, but that's only because I had no fucking idea how to work the net. I'm 5 foot 2. I'm not the tallest person and I don't have the longest arms. I can't reach my racket to hit balls way above me that well, and people feel comfortable to lob me. I have stellar footwork though! I ran to every ball I could, but I ultimately had to learn how to hit angled shots at the net. That is something I'm getting into soon, but it wasn't soon enough. Whatever though, right? She was a junior. An amazing junior player, she was.

So yep, that's basically what I did with my life all day. Hopefully my parents will get back so we can figure out rides for next weekend for my tournament I want to sign up for. They are going to watch Jamie's gymnastics meet AGAIN. By the way, Jamie is injured so she is only competing in one event. What is even the friggin point? Ugh. All hail Jamie and shit.

Seriously that pisses me off,
Brooke Something
