Chatterbox: Down to Earth

Tennis!

I LOVE tennis. I'm taking two hour classes twice a week, and a one hour cardio tennis class once a week. My serves are not consistent. And my forehands seem too flimsy. I like backhands the best. Yesturday we played this game called "robber" and the coach said this was the only time we were able to steal. We put our racquets in a circle around the coach's racquet which had balls on it. We had to run to her racquet, get one ball to put on our racquet, and after all the balls were gone from her racquet, we could take one ball at a time off other people's racquets. Right at the end of 2 minutes, a girl took four balls off my racquet at a time! The coach took them off her racquet, though, and put them back on mine, so I won with five balls! The coach gave me a John Isner poster for the prize. He's the guy who won the longest tennis match ever recorded: 3 days!

I'm on a USTA team (United States Tennis Association). I'm going to be playing singles this saturday. Last time I played singles, I lost every game. But we did have good rallies going, and then I'd blow it. Last week I played doubles and we got our best score yet: 2-8. (We had 2).

Does anybody else play tennis? Any lefties? There's a girl on the team who's a leftie, and she's won a good number of matches.

Peacing out for now,
