mmm. I did get to go play tennis yesterday. I did a quick warm up by doing a few streches and jogged a lap around the courts before some light hitting and wow. When I warm up before a match, i'm so tense and nervous I can't even simply hit the ball over the net and even just playing a match with my uncle i feel nervous. I definately knew that I was going to do good when the ball was going over the net really easily and I did do well. My serve was a bit off but I wanted to not go crazy with it but WOW. my groundstrokes were really solid and good. My backhand was a little wary for a while but my uncle and I were hitting a really good rally and I just run to the left side of the court and just SMACK this really good backhand down the line and most of the time I really don't follow through with my shots, I kinda bring the racket near my shoulder, but never over and it was so good. It came so easily and I even followed through. My forehand was pretty good too and I even went to the net for a few shots but my volleys are definately off.
Bahaha. That was so amazing. :]
School today was pretty good. I got all my homework for tomorrow and so tomorrow my dad is having a heart surgery because he has this heart condition, i'm not really sure of the name but its where his heart beat is irregular and beats wayyy more than it really should and this really non evasive surgery will fix that problem, and I'll study for a bit because i have two upcomming tests in Science and Government and then make up tests for Spanish and a quiz on Romeo and Juliet in english.
I'm not too worried but I really want to be there when he goes into surgery but my mom is making me stay home and I totally understand because if I see my dad in his litle gown thingy and taking the pills that they give you before surgery and see him getting an IV put in... well, I'll be passing out. And I don't want that happening so I'm going to the hospital later.
Well, enough of this totally depressing stuff. Onto a topic that is a bit more depressing but its fine.
Tati has pulled out of Rome, Strausburg, and ROLAND GARROS.
Oh geez Tat...I was so shocked by this information. I know that I heard that she was having some exams and stuff done but I did not expect this at all. What a curveball! I really hope during this time off that Tatiana takes it slow, rests and relaxs and also works a bit on some rehab and stuff. I really hope she doesn't rush it and rush to get back. Yes, Tati, I know the tour is SO boring without you but please take your time. Hun, if you feel your not ready then DO NOT come back! please! Come back at 110% and get back on track and kick some ass.
Hehe. I'm also working on a video documenting Tatiana's 2007 season and its coming along quite nicely. :) I'll post it here when it is done.
Well, its pretty late so I should be in bed so good night everyone!
And I also saw this on another friend's journal so I thought I'd post it too:
