My Tiring Tuesday.

Well this tuesday was tiring. I woke up at 8:30 and had breakfast. Then I went with my dad to tennis at ten. My class is 45 min. long, but that was enough to tire me up. In the class we do 10 minutes of forehand, 10 minutes of backhands, and 10 minutes of volly. For volly we play a game called catterpiller. This is how you play: The coach hits us balls and you have to try to hit them over the net. Sounds simple enough, right? Here's the catch: If you miss the ball or don't hit it over the net you lose a limb. First arm, then one leg, then the other leg (which means you are on your butt). Then you are on your back. If you miss the ball when your on your back then you are out, AKA dead.

Then at the end of class when we only have a few minutes left, we play a game, all the classes together. This time we played jail. This is how you play: Everybody lines up, and a coach hits the first person a ball. Either forehand, or backhand. If you get the ball over the net, you are safe and you go to the end of the line. Then the next person goes. If you miss the ball then you go to "jail". Jail is on the other side of the net. Now to get out of jail you have to catch a ball that comes over the net. If you catch it you get back in the line and the person who hit the ball taht you caught goes to jail. When there is only one person left they get hit a ball if they miss it everybody in jail is free to go except the person that missed the ball goes to jail. If the last person does get the ball in and nobody catches it, then that person wins. I did not win


Then after tennis I had to run of to swimming! I can go through the swim and tennis parking lot alone. So I ran across it and in to the club house. The club house is really actully small. It consists of a girls locker room and a boys locker room. Then in the middle off the locker rooms there is a little room. The room has a telaphone, and an awards case. Also it has papers hanging up on the walls, about stuff thats happening at CS&T. When I stepped in I saw one of the girls that was in my class during the school year. Her name is Shannon Nagel. We talked for a few minutes, and looked at the papers and stuff on the walls. We were just about to walk out into the parking lot when I saw my mom come towards the club house.

Since Shannon is such a sweet girl she said," Hello Mrs.Pecchia".

My mom said hello to her. Then I said bye to her and my mom and I went into the girls bathroom so that I could change out of my tennis outfit and into my bathing suit. After I did that we went and found a couple of lawn chairs outside by the pool. Then my lesson began. The water was so darn cold. But the lesson was 45 min. just like the tennis class. But this swimming class was so much more tiring than the tennis class.

First we did a couple of lenghths of free style. I'm pretty good at free style, but that's not my fastest stroke. Backstroke is. We did a couple of lenghths of breastsroke, one of my least favorite strokes. I hate that stroke soooooooo much. I mean, I don't even get anywhere. We sadly did few lenghts of that.

By that time I was freezing cold. (My teeth were chattering)! I also had to pee, really bad. But we still had at least five to ten min. left. After the breastroke we did a few lenghths of elementry backstroke. I'm actully pretty good at that stroke. When we finished that we did freestyle back to the other side of the pool where the diving stand were. All we had to do is do 2 dives then we could go. As soon as I finished my 2nd dive, I jumped rigt out of the pool and left. I dryed of and we got in the car. I got dropped of at my house.

I ran right in and up to the bathroom. I turned the shower on and took the bottom of my bathing suit of. By that time I was crying because I had to pee and I was cold. To top that of I was having trouble taking of the top of my bathing suit. I finally got in the shower and took a long one. When I was done I had a good lunch. Then I rested. And that was my tiring Tuesday.
