Mario CP3

On our second meeting, Majed and I decided to play Tennis. Majed was kind enough to pick me up from the CIES building and give me a ride to the tennis courts. I was excited to play tennis because I had never played tennis before. I have to say that Tennis is more difficult than it appears. I knew the basic rules, so Majed did not spend too much time explaining them to me. I played my first game with Majed's brother. We played for about 15 minutes then he decided to take a break, probably because I stink at playing tennis. Majed and I started playing so I got a little more practice. I have to say that Tennis is very exhausting. After playing for 1 hour I was ready to sit down. Majed and his brother took over the court and started playing. They play tennis very well even though they say they are not good at it. Majed told me that his favorite sports are Tennis and Soccer. He used to play Tennis and Soccer when he lived in Saudi Arabia, but he does not have as much time as before. Now he has to study English and take care of his pregnant wife. I invited him to play soccer the next weekend or whenever he is free, but he declined because he thinks he is better at playing Tennis than Soccer. Everyone decided to take a break from Tennis and just chat a little. I learned that Majed’s brother has been living in the U.S. for a year and he is going to take the TOEFL soon to start studying at FSU. Before we got into details, I took a look at my watch and noticed that it was time to go to my soccer match. Majed and I decided to meet up at a restaurant for our next session.
