hooping on a monday, 7.22.24

there was an idea in the groupchat last week to hoop on both mondays and wednesdays. we went today for the first monday. schuni texted me about having bodies for this afternoon, but i told him if we didn’t have 10, we could pick up to run full-court. he texts me that everytime we run full, someone gets injured. it’s true and it turned out to hit home today as on the last game i planned to play, i shot a three and landed on some guy’s foot, twisting my ankle pretty bad. it was a pain i had never felt before, definitely the worst ankle injury i’ve had. i was mad because it was the last game, and we were at point. yusef and schuni helped me off the court, which i felt bad because schuni got injured during the first game himself. afterwards, we made it back to binney and hung out snacking/drinking courtesy of smartlabs. we spoke on work, sports, and vacation plans. these are small details in everyday life, but some of the best times are the ones we overlook.

i definitely need more mondays like this, except without the injuries.
