Endings
We lost our playoff match last night, thus ending the indoor team’s best season yet. The first game was pretty lame… it took us a while to get into a rhythm. We played very well the second game, but ended up losing 16-14.
Also ending soon is the summer. There’s a three weekends left in the beach volleyball season, and summer officially comes to close with the autumnal equinox on September 23rd 12:56 am. The Japanese call the time around the equinoxes “higan” — a Buddhist term meaning “the other side of the river of death.”
My 25th year on the planet is ending, too. I turn 26 on Monday. My mom’s getting me a volleyball as a present. I couldn’t be happier!
