Being runner-up in Brisbane wasn't exactly the start to the season I had planned, but I can't complain. Australia is still stupidly hot and I feel like I've gone through more sunscreen than tennis balls. And now I feel like Renji is doing scheming about a sunscreen company sponsorship.

Mika and my mom had to head home after Brisbane since my sister starts up school again soon, but mom already agreed that she'd figure out a way to get Mika out of classes so they can come to Paris. I told her that I could talk to the administration. Would they really say no to a former student who won more than a couple of National tennis titles and is also a professional tennis player? I doubt it.

Australia has been great for art. I've done a number of sketches and gotten plenty of use out of my travel watercolor kit. I sent one of the sketchbooks back with my mom so she could drop it off at university for me.
