Now that girls tennis season is officially over, my life has ended. What do I do now? Everything has become extremely boring and I don't have anywhere to release my energy so I get restless and can't focus on anything at school. My once overloaded calendar now seems almost empty and I can feel myself getting fat. My reflexes are dieing and I really miss the drug-like rejuvenation I got from playing tennis. I guess we sure had a fun year though. We took 2nd in region and lost in the second round at State in close games(not sets) to the State champions. Both Elena and I lettered and got All-Region academic honors and I got All-region sportsmanship for Mountain View. Who could've asked for a better season(besides losing to Timpanogus!!)? I'm just going to miss panting after running down balls at the base line and the confidence earned from hitting a "stick it" volley at the net. I never talked too much about tennis at school cuz I can easily get carried away with it(obviously) and I didn't want to bother everybody, so now I'm finally writing about it instead. But what to write now? What to do? It's over! Sigh, it was just intense and exciting. I need to write something though so I don't forget it all... so I guess I'll write down some of my favorite moments and things I've learned from tennis. Probably my favorite match we played in tennis this year was the one against Lone Peak @ the region Semi-finals. Lone Peak is always huge for me cuz Lone Peak was the only match I lost in seasonal play last year. Elena was dominating as usual and I was playing so hard and split-stepping so much that my socks were falling off my feet and getting stuck at the bottom of my shoes. Both teams were playing their best and we had to win it in a tie breaker. It was so awesome! We worked so hard to win and it payed off, even with their not so perfect calls. I miss tennis! I know this might sound bad but it just goes to show you how well temptation works. I miss my uniform! Yes! I miss wearing a tank-top out in the sun and getting tan beautiful shoulders and legs! Now I don't have an excuse to wear more skimpy things and I'm forever going to have to struggle with a farmer's tan on my arms for the rest of my life. I guess tennis and modesty and I have had somewhat of a struggle. But you know what? I honestly enjoyed it! Okay I'll repent now. I'm also going to miss my tennis snacks. Fruit snacks, Croutons, Pickles, gatoraide, Bananas just to name a few. They just won't taste the same without the rest of the MV tennis team. Also I don't have any reason to do intimidating things like wearing a Lone Peak shirt to school, pointing at people, and practicing my grunting. Plus anytime my knee hurts it all comes back to me. Well Anyway I'm just going through post tennis season depression so you can ignore all this. I just don't know what to do anymore. I even find myself not remembering what to say when I'm talking with people. I need to find something to get busy with so I can distract myself. Have any suggestions? Well thank you tennis. Thank you Elena. Thank you Coach Robert. Thank you "towel girl."
Have a tolerable day( I hope I'm allowed to say that).
PS Please ignore the funky tan line in the picture. I did not put it there. And we weren't too excited about having our pictures taken during the suspensefullness of State either.
