badminton saturday...

saturdays. most people look forward to this day because it's the weekend and they can go party and get drunk/wasted, etc. me... i look forward to it because of badminton. i woke up and all i could think of was badminton. rhoda actually woke me up earlier than i expected to wake up, but thats okay. i caught the wiz/cavs game but then took a nap.

i guess this is what it's like when u don't go as a foursome... me and javier had to look for opponents. first match we won easily. but then we started playing more skilled opponents and they took us apart. they exploited our weaknesses and most of all me and javier's inability to properly communicate with each other. but that's okay, we're both beginners so we had to look for people close to our skill level. we found these two guys, one was a lot better than us and one was weaker... so it made for a fair fight. we split our games but i thought we should have won all of them.

it's a bit frustrating... in my mind i know how much better i used to be, but my body just isn't at that point. i have to try and rein in my emotions better. i am improving since i first picked up the game, and i'm glad to have met javier again. i know i'll get better, i just have to be patient.

rhoda and the girls couldn't make it today. i was a bit disappointed in that. we could have had some good games... me and rhoda and then javier and lynn. but they came from palm springs... i had a feeling it might take awhile to get back. we really missed a great opportunity since it wasn't as busy as it was on tuesday.

javier took me to that taco del rio off azusa after we played and i got a burrito, it was pretty good. i've always seen that place but didn't know if the food was good. it's not as good as albertos and they have no chips but yeah, i liked it.

still having doubts about my ability to play at 8am tomorrow... but i told saad i'd go... so i'm going. looking foward to tomorrow tho... i get to spend the day with rhoda and gait. while they're studying i get to take pics. then we got that conference about the holocaust... it should be eye opening.

i'm tired... but i had fun... and that's what it's all about.
