In February, I was asked to participate on the Fontbonne University’s Women’s Tennis team. I thought this was a joke because I have never played tennis in my life, minus the couple of times I attempted to at the park with my friends. But I have played sports all my life and decided that it would be a worthwhile addition to my schedule. Plus, how hard could tennis really be? Well harder than it looks was the answer. Though I never played before, I quickly LOVED the sport. As the season progressed so did my skills. I am no Williams sister but now that the weather is looking better I am so excited to go find some tennis courts and play.
Along with playing tennis, the weather has encouraged me to go outside a lot more. I plan on migrating outside to work on homework. Maybe the sunny weather will help me get an A on my last Rhetoric paper. I also have already decorated Fontbonne’s parking lot with sidewalk chalk. Which I plan to do again. Along with chalk I will be tuning in to joys of my childhood by flying kites and swinging on swings at a park. My friend Mary Alice and I have found a park with perfect swings where we can also fly kites. The good weather makes me remember activities I enjoyed as a kid, and I have realized I still enjoy them now.
