10sBalls.com is extremely excited to share with the readers Allie Kiick’s blog entries. Allie Kiick, a 16-year-old from Plantation, Fla., is coming off her first Grade 1 ITF victory at the USTA International Spring Championships in Carson, Calif., last week. She blogs this week about her experiences at the Easter Bowl:
Hello everyone! This is my first time blogging so hopefully I will not bore you. I woke up this morning to beautiful weather in Palm Springs and had a nice and healthy breakfast of chocolate bunnies from yesterday. My mom said the Easter bunny showed up for me and left me an Easter basket (sometimes you will never grow up in the eyes of your mother). She also said that the Easter bunny left money for me to go to Barnes and Noble and buy a book. But reading isn’t my thing, so nice try mom!
Anyways, after eating I went to go warm up with one of my good friends and roommate for this trip, Samantha Crawford. The warm up wasn’t one of our best today but we managed to get through it. I think we were both just anxious to play. After we were done, we headed over to the site where I got to see all my friends that I haven’t seen in awhile. It was so great! Then, of course, to get ready for my match, I put in my music and jammed away to some pop/rap music. I ended up winning my match 6-1 6-0 and was very happy to get through it. I was sooo hungry after I played, so my mom took me to Chipolte where I basically ate like a 300-pound massive football player (I have a appetite like you wouldn’t believe).
All I wanted to do afterwards was crawl in a cave and sleep for the rest of my life but that obviously didn’t happen. In fact, I came back to my hotel, showered, attempted to do school work, then left and did a little bit of shopping. We went to Ralphs (grocery store) and I stacked up on Hi-Chew candies and Luna bars. For those of you who are reading this, you have to try the chocolate dipped coconut Luna bar! It is the greatest thing I have ever had in my life! Then we finally came back to the hotel where I was able to relax and watch T.V. Doesn’t get much better then watching Saturday Night Live reruns and eating Luna Bars.
Well my people, that was pretty much the extent to my day. Tomorrow I play at 10:45, so I will be up pretty early (I consider 9:30 early). I need to get my beauty sleep of course so I’m going to hit the sheets. Night everyone!!!
Allie
