Ouch. My body is aching all over. I think I have will have a bruise by tomorrow morning. After 2 years, I will be now playing volleyball again. - the sport that I kinda dislike the most.
Why?
It's not because I hate the ball itself. It is because I am afraid that the ball will hit my head that will later cause me mental damage. I am also afraid of serving the ball because it makes my arm sore when I do not hit it at the right position. Well, the fear is still tolerable. If I will be asked to play then so shall it be.
My classmates placed me in the line-up, not as a sub, but as one of the first six players! Imagine my shock when I heard that. It was quite unexpected in my part because I only thought that I would be one of the officiating people.
At first I protested, saying that I do not want to play volleyball. The end. But they said that the list was already past, backing out cannot be done. So I said, "Oh, well, might as well try, I may discover my hidden potential.." Then I insisted to my classmate, Khessa, a great volleyball player, to practice with me because I haven't played for quite a long time. I did not want to be the cause of the downfall for our section. I do not want us to end up losing points because of me.
So I made up mind, I practiced till nightfall and the result was learning the basic techniques in serving and having an aching body. Despite these things, I still felt good because I knew that I can play. Play well for a beginner who just practiced tonight.
