July 25, 2011 Tennis, Strings, Bugs, and Libraries

Wow, I actually typed two posts today! I mean, I woke up at 8:00am (and that's early for me) just to write the last one.
Anyways, we did more SAT and Spanish today for the majority of the morning (well, we finished our "study session" around 1:30pm so that's past morning) and then went to the library. The term is pretty straightforward so I don't think I will have much to say about it. The few thing I do have to say is that this particular library lacks computers/technology, is small, but actually lets you do I self checkout kid of thing. As a kid (wait, I'm technically still a kid), I used to always want to be a clerk or library for a summer or school job. I wanted to be a clerk because whenever they have to type something, the keyboard made this click-ity sound that I love. I wanted to be a librarian because they (used to) have to use this stamp that makes a sound similar to the click-ity sound that the cashier/clerk sound. Sorry for the random flashback but it did fill up the paragraph.
After that, me picked my dad up from work, went grocery shopping (once again), and headed to the tennis courts. Actually, we've been playing tennis everyday so I don't thing I should write tennis in the title unless that's the only highlight of the day. So, I'm going green! I'm recycling the letters 'T','E','N','N','I', and 'S'! Anyways, while I was waiting for some random reason, this ladybug/manbug looking thing was flying around so I tried swatting because it was stalking me (well, it kept following me)! I hoped it would get the message and just go bug (pun intended) someone else but it was stupid so it just stayed there and got sliced in half! After awhile, it began moving again so my mom walked over and just killed it, so now there is a yellow-orangish mark on the tennis court, courtesy of me. Poor ladybug/manbug looking thing. It never saw it coming.
So, we stopped playing after awhile and began running. I ran about 5 laps total but I can proudly say that I can run/jog a lap and a fourth without stopping! After that lap and a fourth, I walked for about 1/4 of a lap and ran/jogged 1/4 a lap. For the other laps, it was 1/2 walking and half 1/2 jogging. The walking part was divided into 1/4's so...... At the end of the torture, my left side felt like someone just sawed it off! Ouch.
Tomorrow, the tournament is on! I just have to win 2 matches in a row (duh!) and I make it into the finals which is on Friday. While we were playing tennis, I noticed this part of my string breaking off so I hope my strings don't just snap while I'm playing. Just to be safe, I'm bringing my brother's racket even though it's completely different from mine. It'll have to do since I absolutely hate my mom's racket. Now I really need you to wish me luck. G'night!
