Well I just came back to my dorm room from playing some tennis.  And I am fairly saturated in sweat.  And this is the real topic of this groan of disappointment…my sweating, and the fact that it was the cause of me breaking my #1 tennis racquet.

As you can all probably assume, it gets pretty warm here, especially in the sun, and the humidity is also quite notable.  As I am sitting here cooling off from playing, I am just sweating more, because it is still rather warm in my room.  Every day I sweat walking to class, every night I sweat as I sleep on top of my sheets, and every time I get out of the shower, I just start sweating.  And my whole body sweats, everything…sweats.  Pretty awesome.  Really, it is not much of a complaint, as it is part of the reason I came here, the weather.  Although, it is slightly less bearable now that my fan broke. 

Any way, to the real disappointment, as I was playing tennis with my friend Jeff I happened to attempt an overhead.  And to my great dismay the racquet slipped out of my hand and straight into the court.  Sigh, two major crack points in the frame equals one wasted tennis racquet.  I think I might cry.  Oh well, I guess it is just a material item, but still it is a $200 item ($150 when I bought it) and I really did enjoy using it as I play tennis basically every day. 

So now I am left with a choice as to whether I should purchase a new racquet or just survive with the one real usable racquet I have left.  Maybe God is telling me, no more tennis, just learn to surf.
