Transcript

Today, I am going to be playing for two hours with Zak. I will be focused on discussing yesterday with him and trying to find a plan of action. During the practice, I will try to stay positive and enjoy playing. Tennis is an escape, and I will not let it feel like a burden. I have been very busy with school and other responsibilities lately, and I only got three hours of sleep last night because of the work (I was sick most of last week so I had a lot to catch up on). I am exhausted and my energy isn't great right now. I am going to be excited to work on a game that I love, and have time to take my mind off of anything else in my life.
