Now that I've done an introduction to tennis, it's time to write about me being frustrated every day because of it. You know summer? Of course you do. Well...it hates me. It was probably the middle of August, and i had planned to play tennis the next day.
It rained.
It rained in the middle of the summer, ruining my perfect day to play tennis. This just keeps on going and going every day. Well, in these days at least. Take today for example. I just came home, and there's a thunderstorm outside. Ever tried playing tennis on a wet court? Not only do you slip, which is really annoying since you have to run and stop, and run and stop, but when the tennis balls get wet, they get ruined and therefore don't bounce as high as they are supposed to. That ruins the whole game, because it messes up your serves, and you can't put much spin on them.
I don't like playing when when it's getting dark either. I don't mean night dark, but just when the sun is setting behind the mountains. It doesn't affect others, but it affects me because my left eye has astigmatism, which makes it affective to light, and therefore, dark. So, when i play at that time of the day, I don't judge distance very well, and mess up a lot.
I guess I'm good at tennis. I always play with these Korean twins in my ward, and haven't been beaten by them in about two years. However, since I don't have a twin to practice with, and they do, they have an advantage, and are catching up fast to me. They practice every day, hoping to catch up to me, and are succeeding.
How do you get better at things? you practice. but what if you cannot? That is what position I am in all the time. I want to play, but can't, because nobody can play.
When I get to high school, I'm going to tryout for the team, and even though it's no cut, i'm going to make it and try to get into the varsity team. The only problem is that I don't know when the tryouts are, or where to get the applications. One time, there were high school people playing tennis in our park's courts. They cahllenged me and James, one of the twins, and we beat them BAD. They said they were on the tennis team, so I guess I have a great chance next year.

Wowzers--never knew tennis was so complicated before. How about a water-proof tennis ball? Ha ha. Just kidding, that wasn't really funny.
Ever used an indoor tennis court? I think they've got some somewhere around here, couldn't that help with the problems?
You know what's funny (okay, maybe it's not funny, maybe it's just what I find funny when I first get up in the morning), your blog is totally trashing on rain and mine... ha ha, mine. Mine is mine, so it's totally nonsensical. :P
Bye!

I hate those days! It has happened to me before it made my day horrible.
About the high school team, the boys tennis team plays in the spring, and I can find out when exactly tryouts are if you want me to. You would love the tennis team if you were on it. I loved being on the team as a freshman. Not only do you get bragging rights, but you get an advantage over those who don't play on the team till they're sophmores. I'll ask the tennis coach when tryouts are for the boys and then I'll let you know!
thank you shanda lier.!!!!! yes! haha yeah...it'd be great if you did
