In memory of Sam

My budgie died yesterday! He was so cool. I should get another one soon.

New hardcourts at St. Pats Tennis Club

Today I finally got to play on the new Australian Open style blue hardcourts at St. Pats Tennis Club. I really like hardcourts because the bounces are really consistent and there aren't really other factors that will affect your game that much...unlike grass. I feel that by playing on these courts, I can set up for the ball more. Wodonga also has hardcourts located in Parklands but these ones are far better! We had a doubles match and I played some singles with Kristen. Just take a look and maybe I'll even get a chance to record a match there with Dylan.

Daysdale

Nothing more than a little country NSW town bout 30 minutes from Howlong. Dylan, Andrew and Tom held the school holiday tennis clinic there for four days. A pub and a handful of houses were part of this township and of course brand new, synthetic tennis courts under lights.

April Update

So not really much happening with me since Easter. I've been desperately trying to look for a career. Career I say because a career is more than a job. I want something that challenges me every day and I actually want to use the knowledge and skills I learnt through uni. So far I've had around about 7 interviews, 3 of them came really close. I always get right through to the end but don't quite make it over the finish line. I hope I can find something soon!

On another note, I've been playing heaps and heaps of tennis. Not good tennis but I'm still playing. I'm kind of retarded when it comes to sports. I'm not the cliche athletic guy but I really enjoy it and I'm determined to be good at it. I get frustrated because I like to do really well like I've done with my piano, violin and programming :P . I just can't get this physical exercise thing going for me. But anyways we'll soon see some more progress.

Andrew and I have been recording a lot of our practice sessions out on court. I've got this one of myself practising a one handed backhand.

I've got Andrew's video too, which naturally is way better than me.

So BTW, I'm turning 21 on Saturday. I'm not sure who is coming really. I kind of left invitations until the last week so it will be no surprise if people can't get the night off. Oh well. My fault. I don't really like crowds or huge celebrations anyway. I'm the type that enjoys quiet nights with real close friends. Hope I can post more interesting stuff real soon!
