Serenity

Since I was a senior student in college, I restarted to play basketball again. I chose basketball as my exercise because it would not be boring to exercise with friends. Most of the players were my roommates, and there were some from our classmates. After we graduated from the college, playing basketball together had an additional meaning for us: to meet friends.

We have continued to play for a long period until the last summer vocation. During that period, since we were all busy and the weather was too hot to stand. The basketball game was stopped for several months. Then, after I finished parts of my master thesis, I thought we needed to keep playing basketball again. Playing basketball together can help us exercise and meet regularly; if you could kill two birds with one stone, why not to do it?

Therefore, we started to play basketball again since last November; however, there was some small different. Some of our players attended less frequently. We faced a serious problem: we didn’t have enough members to play a normal game. Coincidently, a friend who I knew by co-working previously joined us. Moreover, he brought many his basketball team members to play with us. The good news was that we finally had enough players; however, the bad news was that they were all come from the team of our department – which means they had very good skills in basketball. Then, we couldn’t play and chat simultaneously; instead, we have more exercise now, and chat after the game ends.
