Practice. No volleyball game today.
Even though I played horribly the last time and left bruised and tender, I was really disappointed that we didn't compete. Instead we played about an hour's worth of pick-up games just between teachers.
Teams were decided by playing Rock-Paper-Scissors - losers on one side, winners on the other. I was a loser. I didn't know what was happening! They don't count down or say shoot or anything to give warning that you need to make an instantaneous decision about what to show, they just say 'Rock-Paper-Scissors'. So there I was with my hand still in a fist waiting to "shoot" my sign and before I knew that we were playing this game, or even what we were playing it for, I'd already lost. Since I didn't know what was happening the first time, my teacher played it again, but still confused on how the rules go, I didn't have time/know to take my hand out of a fist formation. So rock lost to paper twice.
Without any pressure to perform in a game setting, you'd think my skills were able to relax and shine through. HA! No, still crap. I did do some hitting practice after the game, and I will say, I do think that impressed some of my co-workers.
After practice, Andrew and I did the only healthy, logical thing to do…. we got a burger and fries! :) We're freakin' champions!! Bring on the next team!!
You are so funny, Meagan!
ReplyDeleteIt will come back - it has been a while - sand volleyball with Michael Griffen as I recall. And that was 2008!
