Almost done!

Howdy Friends,

I hope that you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving, I know I did! It's so hard to believe that the semester is so close to being complete! As the semester is coming to a conclusion, that means so is my personal growth project of playing Racquetball. My brother and I dedicated 3 nights to playing at least two hours of racquetball. This is a sport that you cant just spend 10-20 minutes on every so often, its much easier to commit a couple of hours at a time. It seems as if 1. the time goes by really fast and 2. you really get going when you play for a couple of hours. The last and most recent time we played was.. well, about the same for me! I truly have tried so hard at this game, but it just doesnt seem to be my cup of tea. Each time we have played, we have been so lucky to have our "Coach Drew" tag along with us to teach us techniques, rules, etc. I have found that the only way to really learn racquetball is through experience. I will say that I have probably improved a lot more than I think I have, but I am still no where near the level of Drew, or even Kirby! Those two boys really play well with each other, however I am just a girl, so I like to think of that as my excuse for not being able to keep up! :) Even though we are almost done with this project, I still think I will probably go with Kirby and Drew to play next time they go. It is a great workout and probably is a lot of fun, I just have to give myself more than 6 hours to learn how to play. I really have enjoyed the time Kirby and I have been able to spend together learning a new sport, and I most definately have had many good laughs between the three of us! Drew has taught us drills, and other little games that we have been able to play to simply master the basics of racquetball. We usually spend time doing the drills for a little while before we actually start playing a match of racquetball. Anyways, I am so glad that I took on this challenge, and more importantly, I have learned a lot more than I would have guessed I could learn from trying a new sport. Until next time, have a great week and good luck with finals!!

Blessings,
Macy
