In my grandest show of senioritis yet, I've just signed up for Badminton as a one-credit course to bump me into the 12 credit minimum for a fulltime student. This gets sillier if you're aware that I already know how to play badminton pretty well even if I haven't touched a racket in some eight years oh my god has it really been that long.

I am so, so, so, so out of shape. Chasing a shuttlecock around a teeny court during warm-ups winded me. I had to stop for a water break. That is pretty fucking pathetic. I also wore my boots into the gym, and they're soft-soled so I wasn't wrecking the floor or anything, but I was skidding all over the place. Fell twice. Incredibly embarrassing. Also legit dropped my racket once, which was still less embarrassing than falling.

Small comfort is that I'm still likely the best at this game in the class. By a pretty large margin.

Would sacrifice a few puppies to have lillueyue at my back again--quite literally. Left/right pairs still doesn't come as naturally to me as splitting my side of the court front/back.
