Wow. Today I turn 21. Just...wow. I guess I'm an adult now. Full-fledged and totally legal. I don't feel any older. But it seems weird to say that I'm 21. Just...I dunno, it's hard to explain. I've done a lot of growing up this year though, definitely more than any other year of my life. Actually, as a matter of fact, a year ago today was one of, ( Read more... )

Have you ever typed your name into a Google search to see if anything comes up? I typed my name into one to see if my web-page would return in the search results. Well, it did, but not before pages and pages of old tennis articles written from everywhere. Tennis from my college, from the juniors, from high school, and even from family events. I ( Read more... )

I got an e-mail from Jenny about a week ago. Took me by surprise really, wasn't expecting to hear from her ever again, and certainly not about what she wrote. Well, I guess rather than summarizing, I'll just copy/paste it here ( Read more... )

Well well. Where to begin this one?... Ok, so all my friends are back home at last. Good times, good times. We've been having so much fun. However, something kinda unexpected happened with a friend of mine recently. No. I'm not talking about getting caught by the Police......yet ( Read more... )

I went out with a bunch of friends tonight. It was a gorgeous night. Clear sky, good temperature, full moon, I had a great time. It was Liora's last time out with her friends before she goes off to the Dominican Republic to study abroad. For those of who don't know who Liora is, she's an old friend of mine I've known since Jr. High. She's ( Read more... )

I saw Bruce Almighty the other day. Good movie. Very funny with a strong moral message. It actually got me thinking about my own beliefs afterwards. For those of you that don't know, I don't believe in God. At least not in the idea or form that is generally acknowledged. My beliefs are far more spiritual in nature than religious. If you were ( Read more... )

I'm in Redding for a couple days staying with my aunt and uncle. It's simply gorgeous up here, takes my breath away. But I ran into a problem last night. It took me over 2 hours to fall asleep. Maybe some of it was contributed to the heat, or the futon I was sleeping on, but I think it had more to do with myself keeping me awake ( Read more... )

As I started unpacking my boxes from college, and putting certain things away I began to wonder to myself. How much of this stuff should I really bother to fully unpack? All of it? How much of it am I going to use while I'm home for summer anyways? And y'know, it occurred to me just how much stuff I have that I just, well, store. Old pictures ( Read more... )

I'm almost not sure where to begin this entry. There's so much I want to say. I'm sitting in a booth with my laptop in Minneapolis, Minnesota watching planes take off and land through a window. My flight back home to California doesn't leave for another 3 and a half hours, so I've got some time. The NCAA's were nice enough to pay for my flight ( Read more... )

I just got back from the Conference playoffs with the tennis team. This is one of the trips where both the girls and guys teams travel together, stay at the same hotel, etc. I really like it when we do that, it's a lot fo fun. The girls team is incredibly wild though. That's not bad, but in fact I find it quite amusing. There's a girl on the ( Read more... )
