That's what my Friday was, basically. I went to class, and then went to Ping pong that night. between the two I cleaned my room and got a bunch of stuff packed up. I am packing just because I want to have my stuff on the way home.
Also, I know that there is pretty much no real danger of this, but I'm also getting everything ready in case something should come of the N. Korea threats. Historically, those threats are made quite often. South Koreans aren't even really worried about it, so I know I shouldn't be. I would definitely rather be safe than sorry.
Saturday
on Saturday I literally spent all day on the other side of Daegu, at a school called Keimyung University. The university is statistically better than daegu university, but not by much. Not like I could attest to how good the school is, because I spent 12 hours in the gym.
So yesterday I was really excited because I had been working on playing a different style, which was really frustrating for everyone playing me because while it doesn't take much effort for me to perform the movements, it takes an incredible amount of energy for my opponent. Unfortunately, like something out of a movie, I won my first game and was very happy going into my second when I notice that my racquet feels funny when I use it. Inspecting it further, I notice the rubber is actually pretty messed up. I try to use it further, but it ends up costing me, and my team, a game. I had a backup racquet, but being as I hadn't played with that one for a long long time, I was pretty useless. Even though I won a game and almost won another, yesterday was the most frustrated I've ever been with table tennis. I know nothing comes easy, but with the time I've put into table tennis there shouldn't be a reason why I get dominated by someone that hard.
Anyways, when all of my team had lost we went home and I went to sleep.
I am going to blog tomorrow. I will.
