Sunday, April 1

well i'll be fooled (AND VERY ANGRY!)

as you all know i have a tennis match at 4pm today... and despite the fact that i indeed am very sore and have to walk backwards down the stairs), i've been loosening up a bit and decided that i was just going to go out and have some fun doing what i like to do most... hit a fuzzy yellow tennis ball around a court.
so, about 10 minutes ago i went on the tournament website to get the address cause i'd be leaving in an hour. out of curiousity, i wanted to see how the other half of the draw did yesterday and when the finals would be if i managed to make my way through this match.
i see the finals are at 2pm... wait, it says 2pm april first.... how in the world can they have the finals at 2pm if the semifinals arent until 4pm?
i look at the semifinals... 10:30 am.
: O
what in the world... i started to freak out and quickly grabbed the phone to call them. i explained to the lady that i've been checking the time all week and it's been 4pm the whole time... they even sent me a card in the mail that said match time was april 1st 4pm. the lady then proceeds to tell me that they changed it on thursday and that it is my fault that i missed my match because i didn't check the night before... after explaining a second time that it was my fault after i asked her if there was anyway i could play, she told me she would change the match result from a "no-show" to a "tournament error." psh, a tournament error where the other girl gets a free walk in to the finals.
now, most of you are probably thinking it's probably better that i don't play today since it would give my body a rest... but i have to say otherwise, because of a few reasons...
i was SO looking forward to this, and i dont get to play tournaments that often due to busy schedules. also, i stinkin wasted $35 dollars... i tried to see if i could get my money back, but she explained (again) that it was my fault.
so, looks like this april fool's day made a fool out of me.
