Back to Badminton

When I swam for the Swim Team, I would often find myself thinking about the strangest things during practice. Try it. Swim a dozen laps or so and you'll understand what I mean. Whether this is caused by the mundane nature of the exercise or the desperate countdown as you pray for the end of the drill, it is certainly an interesting phenomenon.

Badminton is a lot more active, and you can talk to the other person instead of being locked inside your own mind as you paddle for so many meters. Yet I still find myself asking myself certain questions as I smash smashes and...er...hit backhands.

Why am I doing this?
Why did I take a shower before I did this?
Shouln't I be reading L'etranger?

Otherwise today was rather unremarkable.

How are we supposed to know whether you need to pretend if you won't let us see you without pretending to be?

    You seem to be a very introspective person. I'm glad to see that you enjoy playing badminton. It's a fun sport with a lot of interaction. :-)

    Okay, to anyone interested in joining MOWEST BADMINTON, it's four times a week for the school year, 45 bucks, and you can probably sign up anytime although I don't know how or where. Mondays and Wednesdays it's at RWA, and Tue/Fri it's at EBS (my elementary school).
