Been obsessed with books and writing since I was 8 years old. Then I lost it when I pursued writing in college. Now, I'm trying to find that drive again.

Handball

Damn! It just got more intense than last week when I was at school. Handball looks real hard when you do it with like 27 other girls. FYI, my pressure level went up a little high when I saw a ton of guys came. I get pretty nervous and embarrassed when in front of guys even if they're looking or not. Luckily, all the dudes are being duds 'sporting it out' and focused on training and stuff. I only joined for the heck of it and I hate staying at home after school.
I stayed after school so I didn't have anybody to hang around with. All I did was stare and sketch stuff. All I saw were nothing on the field and I stayed there just in case if I missed out on anything. What I didn't know was there was a members' meeting in the AV room. Thankfully, they were just choosing who would be the head of Form for girls and guys. So I guess it wasn't really that important for me anyway.
When we got on the field, the field wasn't hard and dusty as I expected but soft and muddy which made our legs and feet dirty. We took a few laps around the field and started practicing passes like last week. I paired up with a girl name Janice. She's really nice and we both just started handball. I dropped the ball several times on the first try but improved on the second try. After in pairs,we did in threes which is easier if you're on the sides and not the center.
After that, we tried some passing exercises. I just learned other techniques to pass and two of them I didn't do well. When I tried to catch the ball with one hand, it rolled over my arm. I think I was the only one who can't catch with one hand. We also did passes and catches in a random way. It was fun.
In conclusion, I think handball practice is a lot more fun and easy than when in the real game.
