You know those days where you're doing a sport or practicing something and you do horribly, and you're not into it at all?
Today, fortunately, was not one of those days. At tennis, I played the best I've ever played so far, and I'm really proud of that, even though to say that I improved isn't saying much since I only started to play this summer. I was pretty exhausted during it, but I kept on going, and I actually was having a lot of fun in the process. My grandparents, my mom, and Claire (one of my best friends) were all there, and I think part of why I played better than usual was because I had their support. Love you guys!
Anyway, after tennis, I was really excited to go home because I had a bit of a headache, but we had to stop by our local grocery store. I stayed in the car with my grandpa, and we didn't talk much, so I made the best out of the situation and people-watched. Now, the activity of people-watching is usually fairly entertaining, as it's interesting to see people who you don't know and guess their story, but I found out that it's much more fun at a large international airport, when the people are from all over the place and you can guess where they live, where they came from and where they are travelling to. However, at a local grocery store, the people are most likely... living locally in the area. So therefore, the only thing you can guess is what street they live on, or perhaps what they're buying from the store and what they'll use it for. But it's not quite as fun to guess that someone's going to buy a pumpkin pie for his or her family for Thanksgiving than to guess that, for example, a man from Guatemala is traveling to Hong Kong via Washington D.C. (for example, though I have no idea if there's actually a possible flight booking) for a business trip for his company.
That's my opinion on that matter, anyway.
I'll talk to you all later!
