Anyways, the reason I am bringing this up is that I took advantage of my 3-day pass yesterday morning and played some squash with my friend and co-worker. He's a squash expert and had an extra racket for me to use. The sport took a little getting used-to as the ball is very small and doesn't bounce as well as a racquetball. The rackets are also abnormally skinny in diameter giving you an oval-shaped hitting surface to work with. I kept missing balls off the frame of the racket and even whiffing on quite a few shots. My friend beat me 9-0 in the first game after I had practiced some. I then got more used to it and managed to lose 9-4 in the second game. I really did enjoy it once I got the hang of it. Needless to say I was sore for the rest of the day as squash makes you use all sorts of different muscles. If I decide to join up at Sport & Health I just may start taking up the sport that shares the same name as my least favorite vegetable.
