'Server(Exeeded)' from Rose. Arg, I'm tired of seeing that message! >. I can' ever play at night cause the servers are always full. X.x; Man, today was really busy. I've been outside for most of the day. ^.^;
I went to participate in the tournament today only this time I played singles(YES! ^.^). Almost everyone in our team at least made it to or passsed the quarter finals. ^.^ Yesterday, only my partner and I made it to the quarter final(that was pathetic). -.-
My games were all messed up. -.-*vein appears* I got Bye first(bye means that they think you're good and you sort of skip your first game and then you can't get into consolation even if you lose your first game. Consolation is if you lose your first match((the very first one you play in)), you get put into it. Think of it as a loser tournament. If you beat everyone in Consolation which means past all the finals, then you still get a little metal like what they give out in the main tournament).
I played in 3 games and I won them all. Everytime I take a break or walk around, my teamates always ask me "how did you do?", or "where are you in now? In the quarter finals?". Honestly, I didn't know the answer to that second question cause my first two matches were the ppl that were supposed to face each other in their first game so one of them has to win and the other one gets put into consolation, but I played against both of them. O.o; Then after I played my third match, I was wondering something like, 'What the?! Why is this so easy? I'm already this far and see no challenge at all! (come on~, only one outta three ppl I played can actually drop!)O.o;'.
Then, I went up to the desk, and asked what final I'm in, the semi-final?. It turns out that they thought I lost my first game and put me in consolation(which explains why that the ppl were easy, but it doesn't explain why they thought I lost cause on the scoring paper, I circled my school's name). What the weirder part was that even though if I actually did lost, I couldn't have been put in consolation cause I had Bye the first round. O.o;
So then they put me back in the main tournament and I ended in the semi-finals(in consolation, I was in the quarter finals). Heh, I lost to the same girl that I lost to yesterday. XD She's really good. She beat our #3 girls singles person and not to mention that she's one year younger than her. O.o;
lol When someone asked what was my score to the game I lost, I held my fingers to form a doughnut and said "Zero!" and I laughed. XD I really didn't care that I lost. I'm just happy that I won my first game(it'd be depressing if I lost my first game cause then I'd be out of the tournament cause I can't go to consolation). ^.^;
Out of eveyone on our team that participated, one girl that was in singles got a runner up metal, and two girls got runner-up in girls doubles(they could've gotten the winner metal cause the team that they were supposed to play in finals, didn't show up so our team won by default XD but then they had to play again a team in consolation for reasons I don't know. Too bad our team lost). ^.^;
Did you know that some ppl lose their first match on purpose so they can get into consolation and win it(it is full of the ppl who lost). XD When I was on the court w/ the person I lost to yesterday, I sort of regret asking what final I was in at the desk. Who knows, I could've beat everyone in consolation. >.>;
Grr, even though it has almost nothing to do w/ the tournament, my wrist hurts. TT.TT It's been hurting all day. Either I hurt it while playing badminton yesterday, or I hurt it when I was sleeping. >.>;
After the tournament, I went to a birthday party. Some of the badminton ppl were invited. It was fun while it lasted. I got to watch ppl play DDR, and I played tag and hide-in-go-seek. ^.^ This one girl was it and chased a boy down the neighborhood street and back. O.o; Someone shouted,"You'll never be able to catch him!" It was so true cause that guy was also in varsity badminton and he was really tall(I hurt my neck to just look up to him). Later, I watched the girl chase another boy on the sidewalk of a main street, all the way to an intersection, across the street(there was a library there), and back. O.o;
Oh yeah, during the tournament, some of the coaches and a girl in varsity were trying to find out who were throwing ice on the bus when we were going back to school after our away game. The coaches were being funny(accusing ppl in a jokingly way) and it felt like they were detectives cause they were marking off the ppl who couldn't have done it and had suspects(the boys in the back). Gah, thanks to them, the entire team almost suffered something that was far worse than conditioning and now we have seating charts not that I mind that much. >.>;
The girl who sat next to me last time is now my seating partner. She was also one of the ppl who got hit by ice only she was hit about a dozen times(surprising, I didn't get hit O.o;). ppl felt sorry for me when they heard(not from me though) cause they all know of and are sick of her endless talking. They were surprised when I told her that she doesn't talk much to me(we knew each other since elementary school and she knows how quiet and unsocialable I can be). Ever since she got her cellphone this yr, she's been using a lot(she's been calling to her parents too during practice and in the bus). >.>; We think that the boys were aiming ice at her and they acidentally hitting others around her(once again, I was surprised I didn't get hit and I was the closest one to her). O.o;
Once again, I typed a post mainly about badminton. Bet you all got sick and tired of reading about badminton by now, but then that's basically what was interesting about my day...>.>;
