Lesson #2 was a success. I am glad that I’m not completely inept at this game! I think I’m somewhere in the top of the class, although I really need to work on my control. If the game was called “Accidentally Hit The Ball Really Far” I would be amazing. But most of the time I hit it and it goes somewhere on the other side of the court, which seems like a good start.

We’ve worked on our forehands and backhands mostly. My forehand is pretty strong, and every once in a while my backhand feels like I think it should.

On Saturday, my friend Carolyn (who is taking the class with me) and I are going to the park for some outside-of-class practice. I’m really looking forward to it!
