sports, meh
Ball-sports day; played on the sensei volleyball team against the winning class of the student tournament. We lost. I’m sure I cost us a few points, having a) forgotten my contacts and b) no idea where the ‘out’ and other important lines were on a court full of incomprehensible scribblings.
Being yelled at and not understanding a word they were saying put me right back in high school gym class, because being yelled at during sports is the same in any language. I know it’s just a game, but then how can it tear you up inside with doubt like that? Shoulda, like, learned the rules first or something.
Well, it was fun hanging out with the kids, and I wasn’t going to be remembered at this school for my athletic prowess anyway. I’m actually quite happy, just because the teachers asked me to join a team this year, that meant a lot. And it’s a gorgeous day out, how sad can I be?
