Well, it turns out that we’re playing volley ball through the summer. Whoopie!
Today we played earlier then usual, 12-2 instead of 2-4. It was fun, and VERY hot. We had 10 people, so we divided up evenly, me being on a team with Alex, Christina, Victoria, Josh, and me, of course, and the other team was Katie, Lizzy, Kevin, Bethany, and Spencer. Pretty good teams, if you ask me. Kevin and Josh were team captains. After we got put in our positions, we served. I can’t remember the exact score, or how exactly the game went, but I know that we won the game, switch sides, lost the next one, switched sides, and won the last one. After that we had a water/icecream break. The icecream was too sweet for me, so I only had a couple of bites. We went back outside after about 10 minutes, switched teams around, and did a single game to 25. Now it was Lizzy, Katie, Bethany, Josh, and I against Spencer, Victoria, Alex, Kevin, and Christina. We were on the side ‘bad’ side, the one that whoever was over there lost. With a rough beginning, it looked like that side was going to hold it’s ground with its ‘you can’t win’ streak. Half way through the game it was a sad score of 7-18, us losing. Coach called a time out and gave us some pointers, which apparently worked. We did 4 serves in a row, which got us up to 10-18. They served, it either went out of bounds or we hit it back, I can’t remember. But anyhow, we got the ball. 9 more great serves, done by the fantabulous Katie, got us to 21-18. They’re ball. They get to 22 and miss. Our ball! My serve. Now, just to let you know, I’m not a great server, and usually miss. I hit it…over the net! They hit it back and Katie and Joshua dive for it. One of them actually hit it over the net, but I don’t know which one, but it doesn’t matter because the other team didn’t hit it back over. I served again…over! Again, over! Last time. If I get this ball over and they don’t hit it back, we win! I close my eyes, and concentrate. I open my eyes, take a step forward, hit the ball…it goes over the net! After several attempts to get it back to us, the other team dropped the ball. We win!

It was fun, I enjoyed playing. In 2 weeks we’ll meet back up again, I can’t wait!
