スポーツをする？ Sure do!

So, not much happened the past few days. Hung out with the people in Saku. Went to dinner a few times, chatted it up nice and long with some of them. School was pretty much going in, looking busy, pretending to do something that I “should” be doing, and then after an hour of watching the students play sports or practice for the band, I went home. Today, though, I actually played tennis with the girl’s tennis team. It was so strange at first. They use a soft tennis ball. Kind of like a big squishy ball, something you would play “red butt” with. To top that off, there were no doubles alleys. So while I was playing doubles with them, I was like shit I can’t hit it to the outsides like that. Ended up winning 2 games and losing 1 with the various teammates I had. I would say I adapted well because they enjoyed playing with me and the one girl was so adamant about giving me a high five every time anything happened ever. I scored...high five. Ok, that makes sense. She makes a good hit and scores, again makes sense. They score. Why are we high fiving? I hit the ball wide and interrupt the soccer game happening in the field over from us. Surely, this does not deserve a high five! Standing there just after having switched sides, yah…sure…what the hell, gimme a ‘high five-u.’
