It's been 5 years since I've played a game of volleyball, and even then in was in a junior high PE class and we were using beach balls... The last time I played a game of volleyball with an actual volleyball was in a Mt. Shasta campground at age 12.
So yesterday, I find out that for BEST club Tuesday Night Sports, we're playing volleyball for 2 hours. Great. I dreaded it all day. The students here are so good at volleyball. I did not want to play. At all.
As you can probably judge from my past experience with "volleyball," I know nothing about the rules, and hardly anything about the game itself. Sure, I went to several LBSU volleyball games, but when you're on the court, it's completely different: you actually have to like.. hit the ball.
I was told by Mark that I had to at least play 1 game. I practiced with some students on the sidelines and then played a couple games..
It was terrible- I'm the worst volleyball player ever!
I didn't think one of the bigger challenges in Japan would be a volleyball game.. but it most certainly was :D
But you did it! I totally know that feeling of intimidation, and I am so proud of you for putting yourself out there. Love your blog updates and can't wait to hear more about your adventures.
