Badminton

Oops, just re-read the "catch-up" blog and realised I forgot to mention what happened in Badminton on Thursday. I was playing against two people (just me on one side of the net and 2 people the other, singles rules applied my side and doubles rules applied on their side) which is hard work. The two on the other side have a huge advantage: Between them they can cover the whole court far more easily than I can cover mine; so the best thing they can do is force me to run around the court lots until I get tired and then they can wipe the floor with me.

This was obviously what they were doing to me on Thursday. The shuttle sailed right to the far-right of the court, so I had to run backwards to get it. I returned it. Then they dropped it just over the net on the left-hand side of the court. I had to run the longest length of the court to try and get it. I remember running towards it and in my mind I was thinking "I can get it, I can get it, I feel like I'm going to trip, it's fine keep going..." Then my legs wrapped themselves around each other and I quite literally wiped the floor. My racket went flying and I rolled straight into a wall. I heard everyone sucking air through their teeth and then go "OOOOH" emphatically as I smashed into the wall.

Good healthy fun!

Hand-in

Another assignment handed in. I finished it on Friday morning but didn't dare go to bed until it had been handed in. Handed it in around 2pm, got home about 2:30 and went to bed. Got woken up around 7pm by the fire alarm (arsehole flat-mate smoking in his bedroom) and then went to bed again. Woke up next at 11am Saturday: around 21 hours of sleep.

Now I am starving and need to get some breakfast.
