One of the amenities I never got around to using in school was the ping pong table in the Union Building. When we first learned that we could play ping pong if we wanted to, we planned to borrow rackets from one of the guys but we never got around to it. I don’t really know how to play it but the few times I tried, I really enjoyed myself. It’s also amazing to see those players who play very fast and very skillfully. They make it look so effortless but I know how tiring it is running after the ball even in that small space .
How come when we think of beaches, it should have white sand? I am guilty of associating beautiful beaches with white sand. I do not know if it’s because white sand makes the water look bluer or greener and the area look cleaner than grey sand. But there must be something about white sand because all the brochures featuring beautiful beaches like that in sandestin have sand that is so white and glittering in the midday sun. I guess beauty in that sense is just universal.
Now that I’m back at home, the electric fan will become my best friend. It does not have to be Minka Aire, any old fan that emits cool air will do. I will really miss the cold weather especially during the times when I feel the sweat trickling down my back or beading my forehead. I will miss the times when wanting to air condition your room means opening the window and letting in the chilly air. My other friends don’t like the cold and I’m the only contrary one because I like it. I definitely prefer fall or winter to summer season.
