Finally squashing

Finally I have played squash! I have been trying to do it since September or so, but the few super competitive males that I know use to play squash seemed so far to find it impossible to have patience for me to learn instead of challenging each other.

Girls have only recently joined the matches after the boys finally let one girl play. I think that those guys were only letting that girl play because one of them has a crush on her (or at least that is my theory) to the point of him acting like a puppy, but anyways the involvement from more people started happening and that is a good thing (guys acting like puppies and my theory on how successful that can be will be discussed in another post).

In any case, as there are more people in the office and there are different interests finally someone has appeared with the patience to play with me. It has been so extremely fun!

It seems that I am not a lost case! Thanks to my tennis classes few years back I can serve and hit the ball quite ok. I just need to get stronger arms to hit it harder as well as losing the fear to smash myself against a wall or wracking something/someone, but that will come quickly :)

It is so nice, to have an activity that is fun and allows you to use your energy. I feel even more awake and in a better mood even if it is cloudy.

I wonder if I will be able to keep on this activity after August wherever I go. But until then... SQUASH! SQUASH! SQUASH!

I can already see me and Kener playing in the holidays...
