~:[CH10 - Day 323]:~  Cramping My Style

It was nice to have this day back again, the alumni basketball games. It's great because it's a sign that we are on break and also a fun time. Without a staff game, it changed a bit, but I still was able to play in the coaches game. Overall, I got my normal steals, missed my normal shots and finished up the game well. Towards the end of the game, I felt a little twitch, but was fine since I finished the game or at least I thought. I got corralled into playing the girls game to give people breathers. At the end of the first half. I got a cramp in my hamstring and sat out the rest of the half. I worked on it and ended up playing again, although did so very gingerly. I survived, almost. At the end of the game, we pushed the ball up court, I caught the ball off balance and in slow motion, I fell backwards with my hamstring unable to support me normally. Luckily, I tossed the ball to Vitug who knocked down the buzzer beater, taking away attention from me as I fell to the ground (in embarrassment). It actually was quite funny and would allow me to get a laugh and enjoy that moment as we head into the break. I was happy to not actually be injured (just sore) although my pride, that's another story (haha). Life is actually about those moments you have an embarrassing moments. For me, they come and go very quickly. I see a lot of my students afraid to have those moments, but in MUN we teach them that those moments are the ones that help you grow. It means that you are out there trying and in the process, you're getting better. My style and body may have been cramped today, but in the end, I am happy that I can relive this funny moment, I just hope it's not over and over again. To all the students and teachers, have a wonderful fall break.
