Relief

Today, as I said earlier,was the day of my tennis tryouts for DLSU varsity team. As usual, I had my lunch in Animo with my friends. At about 12:00pm, I bid my friends good-bye and went to McDonald's to wait for Solomon, who was going to the tryout too. We agreed to meet there at 12:15pm, but when it reached 12:15pm, Solomon was still no where to be seen. I saw some of my blockmates sitting in McDonald's, so I joined them while waiting for Solomon to come.

I called him and sent him messages, but I received no response from him. Afraid to be late, I called his mom, then luckily. it was Solomon who answered the phone. He told me that he is still in his mom's store. I can't believe that he is still not on his way to McDonald's. 10 mins...20mins...has passed, yet he is still no where to be seen. His mom asked me on the phone if I had already met with Solomon, but I haven't. Another has 30mins passed, I looked at my watch and noticed that we were terribly late for the tryout. The tryout was supposed to start at 1:00pm.

Finally, after another 5 mins, I saw Solomon walking past McDonald's holding his mobile phone in his hand. I quickly went to met up with him and then we started on our way to Rizal Sports Complex, where the tryout was to be held. Later, I asked Solomon where he'd been and he said he was in McDonald's all along, yet he couldn't find me. His mobile phone was having some errors, so he couldn't send a text message to me to tell me that he's already arrived.

Well, what's done is done. I have nothing to do if we're late. We arrived at the tennis court at approximately 1:30pm. I was surprised to see so many people crowded on the benches. I approached a girl there and asked her if this was the place for the tennis tryouts and she said yes. I was surprised. OH MY GOD! I didn't know that so many people knew about the tryout. I started to tremble HAHA I was thinking of giving-up and going back to school, but I thought, I would never know the result if I didn't try. Braising myself up, I stayed and registered.

After another 5 mins, I was asked to rally with another girl player. I was really nervous. She started the rally, OH MY! she is too good for me. She plays like a pro. I was cursing myself. Crap!How am I suppose to get qualified if I can't catch-up with her fast and powerful serves? I tried my very best to put out my best and apply all what I have learned. After a while, another girl came and approached us, she asked my partner if she could join our rally, so we let her join. She was a beginner, like me, thank goodness! At least there was someone like me, I'm not the only beginner! HAHA :P

The rally turned out to be a mess LOL because its really hard to catch-up with the my pro play partner. Luckily, she was later called by the coach to play with another guy, so only the other beginner was left to play with me. It turned out well. After all, we're all beginners. I must say that I was glad that I've met yet another new friend hehe :D We played and enjoyed the rally. After 30 mins, the coach dismissed us and told us that the results will be released next week. He told us not to be nervous. (How can we not be nervous? haha) But all in all, it was a relief to me. I have finally shed my nervousness now that I've already tried out. All I have to do now is to wait for the results. If I qualified, then that would be the best. If not, its alright, I could try out another time. Maybe by then, I'd be a better tennis player.

I noticed that I was very very late for my math class. I hurriedly changed my clothes and went to DLSU with my 2 friends. When I reached the classroom, it was already 10 mins. before the class ends. My classmates asked how was my tryout and I said it was okay. My professor smiled at me. I knew someone told her about my tryout, so she was not very angry :P Luckily, I talked with her and she agreed to only mark me late and not absent.

So that was my day. A day expected to be terrible, but turned out to be not so terrible HAHA :P RELIEF!!!!! I feel relaxed now. Tomorrow, I'm going to attend my tennis lessons-- my usual Thursday routine before going to school in the afternoon. *SIGH* I'm going to have to report to my instructor what happened today LOL I hope he does not get too furious because I did not perform well. >.<
