My First Badminton Class on July, 22nd I planned to go to a training class of badminton which is on every Saturday half mouth ago. The gym where the class takes place isn't very far away from where I live, but walking to there still takes some time. Thus, taking bus is the best choice. However, taking bus to the gym is not convenient to me, for there is no bus directed to there and I have to transfer from one bus to another. Worse, the bus I will transfer to arrives at the stop almost 40mins later than the bus I take the first. Being lazy of figuring out the fastest route, I chose the easiest way to reach my destiny----walking. On the day before the class, I was reading and playing computer until midnight. As a result, the bell which should have woken me up at 8 A.M the next morning didn't wake me up. When I got up, It was already 8:40. I would definitely be late, but I still cannot give up going to the class because I had given it up for the same reason last Saturday and being defeated by drowsiness and laziness for twice is shaming :(. Finally, after 20-minute walking and having breakfast beside the gym, I went into the gym at 9:20 and saw a coach and some students had already started practicing in the badminton court. The coach spotted me, and after a simple self-introduction I started my practice. I was extremely nervous because I had not even touched a badminton racket since I was 14 (I'm 20 now). When the badminton came to me, I could not hit it. The coach was patient, telling me not to be anxious. I gradually could hit the badminton and by my hitting it flied a high and far curve to the other side of the court. I practiced for three hours and had never felt so tired physically since senior high. I'm looking forward to the next time and I hope I will do a better job.
