Bowling scores still in the same range.

I missed last week due to a bad headache so this week I bowled six games, of which my scores were; 73, 84, 100, 120, 104, 104. The average of these is 97.5, which is not as good as the average of my three from two weeks ago (108), but this could be for a number of reasons. First being this time I bowled more than one game and I was up one time after another and my wrist began to get tired from this, now that I am using a heavier ball than I was using before. However, my overall average since I have begun the activity has now risen one point, to a 95. I should, if I continue getting scores above 100, have a 100 average by the end of the program, which is what I am hoping for. I never expect that I will leave here like a professional but I am still trying to develop skills that will put me significantly above where I was when I began. I am definitely getting more strikes and spares now, and I got three strikes in the game today that was 120, and several spares in some of the other games.

Once I get used to the heavier ball even more and it stops making my wrist hurt after some time, I am sure I will improve a bit. Part of it also has to do with how I was making up for the previous week so I didn't have any time between frames and that probably stressed me out to an extent since there were other people waiting for their turn and I hurried myself a bit, worried they'd get annoyed by it. I now can see that they probably weren't but that was my worrying getting the best of me. But this Friday I plan to go with my friend and bowl a few games, and see if I can find any methods and techniques that are helpful to me. And for whatever it's worth, I got a higher score than the girl in the lane next to me who has been participating in this activity for three years, so I must be doing something right! Even Violet, the coordinator, told me she's noticed improvement in me, and that I am developing a very positive attitude compared to when I first started. I go every week with a positive attitude even if I am so tired I can barely keep my eyes open, although this time I went to bed early enough the night before that I wouldn't wake up in that way.
