Summer its almost over, and so are the hard internet working days, its a mixed feeling, good cuz there is no mopre working pressure, bad cuz theres no more lots of money coming in, and worst, cuz i gotta take care of my grades.

Still, school isnt "that" bad, cool friends, lots of space to go around, and lots of newcomers to piss off (kinda xd).

But there is more good news, the purpose of the whole summer was succesful, i got my strobe kit!! , not exactly as i imagined it, there where some stuff i culdnt afford, but anyway... i can get those later.

So, if there is any guy/girl/pet living near me, that wanna help me try out my new stuff, just send me a message

So, now that im done with school, its time to get back to the photo stuff, but i need new stuff to do that

Yesterday i was playing frontenis in the courts of a sport complex near my house, kinda boring cuz we were just 2 playing (normally we are 3 or 4), but anyway, its a cool sport, lots of sprints, jumps and sweat.

At the very start of the game, i noticed that the bottom corner was covered with very fine dust, courtesy of rain (it drags the dust from the walls or the floor, and deposits it on the corner).
At a sprint i did to the corner i fell in the dust, hitting my left foot, nothing really serious, just a little pain.

But 10 minutes later, the disaster came up, a close to the wall ball, and i ran to the corner to catch it before it touches the bottom wall, and when i was about to hit it, bam!, the dust cause my right foot to slip, and my ankle twisted (with all my weight on it), i hit the ball, but i lost the point.

There on the ground, i was almost crying of the pain, but after my mind recovered from the twisting, and the shock, the only thing i said to my parter was "So, the bone isnt popped out, that's good..." (i mean it).

I spent a couple minutes on the floor, in the dust, till i was able to get up by myself, my partner asked me if it was better to stop playing, but we just got in there so i told him to gave me a few minutes to recover, then we keep playing.

I didnt wanted to stop, cuz i kneew that if i stopped, my foot will cool down, and then it will hurt. My house its only a few blocks away, but with my foot in that condition, i wouldnt be able to cross the traffic-filled streets.

About an hour later, we stoped playing, and my foot wasnt that bad, i could walk pretty easily, so i went home.

In my house i sat on the table to eat super, but when i get up, well.... i couldnt. My foot cool down, so it started to hurt, later i applied some ice to stop the swallow, but it hurted badly.

At night, i barely was able to get into the shower, the cold water helped with the pain, and that was the end of this day, a twisted day....

When i got up today, i wasnt able to put weight on my foot at all, so i took a stick and used it to help me walk. But at super time, the pain went down about 50%, so im now able to walk...almost very well

I hope it gets better by monday, cuz you know.... Monday its Tenis time!!!

After 11 tries today, federer won the only tournament that he hasnt been able to achieve in his career, the French Open (Roland Garros).

With this win, Federer equaled Pete Sampras's record of 14 Grand Slam titles, and he became the sixth man to complete a Career Grand Slam.

Next tournament on the schedule is another Grand Slam, Wimbledon, we'll see if roger can retake the title, or if nadal will find the now lost focus.
