Finally contented and relaxed enough to post.
Things have been awful for me recently, and that's a severe understatement. At one point of time it just felt like one blow after another, and to be frank it still feels like I can't win. Best I can hope for is grinding out a bloody draw.
But, I'm not here to talk about sad things. Today's Deepavali, and we finally managed to have a game of basketball again! I think it's been over a month since the last time we played. Maybe that explains why I ran and played harder than I have in some time. Really pleased with my efforts, especially on the defensive end. I think I played solid defense on my assignments, altering shots and causing misses like nobody's business. No disrespect to them of course, I'm just pleased with my performance. Managed to also get 3 blocks and got a hand to another shot which diverted it from the desired path (not sure if that counts as a block). Coupled with a decent offensive showing, with most of my baskets coming in and around the paint area with just two or three jumpers thrown in, I'm well pleased with what I managed to do out there on the court today.
Had a simple, quick lunch with Eugene afterward, and it was just nice in general to be spending time with old friends again. We were supposed to meet for dinner, but it had to be called off in the end due to last minute disruptions. It's a shame, I was all ready to have a good dinner with the guys. Hopefully the next opportunity comes by soon.
I tweaked my ring finger on my right hand while playing ball and it's a little swollen around the joint now. Can't bend it much and it just feels bloated (which it is), but I've had this particular injury numerous times before and it'll go away after a few days (I hope), so it's not much to worry about.
Well, three more weeks of school, and then some papers and presentations. Here's hoping everything works out smoothly for me.
