Christmas in July!!

I meant to do this post in July, but I've been a bit busy.

I got the volunteers' uniform for this year's Roger's Cup (a tennis tournament), and was so happy! Everytime I tried it on, I would get this stupid grin on my face. Part of it was, I'm really looking forward to the tournament, and getting the uniform felt like Christmas in July.

But the best part was...I'm such a geek...but our uniforms look a lot like one of the uniforms found in "Prince of Tennis" (compare the pictures!). At first, I thought it was just my imagination, but then I actually went and looked it up.

There are differences, but just the colour scheme! Now, all I need is some sort of crazy special move that will make my tennis balls glow...or at least a decent stroke!

ooooooOOOOO....

Today I went to the orientation meeting for the new Rogers Cup volunteers. Wow, I can't wait. I was a bit worried, but it looks like they have a really good programme, with about 80% of volunteers returning every year. It was a bit strange during the tour of the grounds, thinking, WOW...Nadal and Federer played on this court last year...I just watched that guy win Wimbleton this morning...It's the girls playing in Toronto this year. They let us in on a few of the players who have committed to the event this year and it looks like it will be a great tournament and I can already see myself spending way too much money at the booths! I don't know how much tennis I'll actually be able to watch, but I'm looking forward to being around tennis again!
