I need to work on my skills...

So...I was playing racquetball tonight with a couple of friends...okay, I wasn't really playing. I was subbing in and out of a game; probably to provide some sort of comic relief. I swear that my racquet had a whole in it the size of , well, an entire racquet because just about the only thing I hit the entire night was air. Sure, I may have hit the ball once or twice, but that was sheer luck. I think it hit the edge of my racquet where the whole wasn't. In fact, the entire thing was a bit of a flashback to my elementary school days. Picture it: the nerdy fat kid with big-honking goggles chasing after a ball that he could never hit. The only difference between then and now is I'm not quite as fat...proportionally speaking. I'm still the nerdy kid with the enormous goggles (who wants to be hit in the eye with a racquet...not me) chasing after the same elusive ball. I guess I never played enough video games as a child, because my hand-eye coordination is simply nonexistent. The other guys were way nice about it, but I got out of that court as soon as I could think of an excuse. I've made a pledge, however. I'm buying myself a racquet and practicing until I can actually stand playing with other humans without making a fool out of myself.

In other news, FOUR MORE DAYS until I Vegas!!! Yes, I'm excited for a trip to sin city. I know that probably shouldn't be the case, but I'm SO ready for a break from school. Have you ever been at that point in your life where everything seems to be hovering around one week? I have a test in Economics that I'm not even close to being prepared for, half of a marketing plan that I've been procrastinating, and a comparison paper on diseases that changed the world. They are ALL due next Thursday...the day I get back from Vegas. So, like any responsible college student would do, I decided not to do any of it tonight (because I don't know where to start) and instead ate pizza and played racquetball. Extremely responsible indeed. No wonder I'm getting horrible grades this semester.
