softball, softball, softball

so i survived my first weekend of hard core softball. three games over the course of two days. we won them all! it was sooooo good. it was really nice to sweep them and will really help us in the conference. i did pretty well actually myself too so that was a lot of fun. we played really well and as a team so it made the wins even better. it was sooooo cold however. lots of under armor was worn and we had to try to stay as warm as possible anyway we knew how. it was however very bright and sunny but the wind was actually pretty strong especially on saturday. it was so bright though today that i even got sunburned! who gets sunburned in 30 degree weather? i guess i do. but i'm very happy overall with the way we preformed this weekend and i'm looking forward to lots more softball. thanks for reading!

over spring break i went to go watch my high school team play softball. it was a lot of fun. i got to see friends that i hadn't seen in a while, old coaches, and lots of parents. i definitely miss high school softball. i love college softball but high school softball will always be some of the greatest times of my life. winning states, winning counties, big hits, big catches, great friends, awesome coaches, amazing memories. i always thought it was odd how frequent some of the graduated girls would come back and watch our games, but not as a graduate i can't wait to go watch them play. i miss it a lot. this weekend at college is a big weekend for us: three games against bates. this is when our season is really going to be in gear. i really do like it and i love how i'm actually getting to play a lot. but high school softball will always have that special place in my heart. good luck this year cougars and hopefully this year i can bring some luck with me to the bantams. keep reading for updates on how the games went this weekend.

going way back

today for breakfast i had a bowl of cereal and a piece of toast with cinnamon sugar on it. i love this combo. when i was little i think i had toast with cinnamon sugar on it almost everyday before school. my  mom would make it for me and it was always great. today it was so nice when i found a huge jar of cinnamon and sugar already put together. i decided that i would go back to my childhood and treat myself to this treat! it was so good and i wanted to say thank you to my mom and just let her know that this is still a very good childhood memory of mine. love you mom!

it's done already?

spring break has come and gone. but what a great week it was. florida was beautiful, the weather was great, softball was fun, and the whole trip was awesome. however it started out with a little mishap. long story short we missed our flight on friday night and had to stay in hartford for another day, get up the next morning at 4:30 and fly to florida on saturday morning. we missed our games on saturday which was also a bummer. we did get 7 games out of the trip, which was fairly decent. we went 3-4. not that great but we definitely faced some good competition and it was only our first week out. we have our first game at home on tuesday! my parents were able to join me in florida which was awesome to have their support and get to spend a lot of time with them. the hotel we stayed at was very nice and it had a water slide which made it like 10 times better. i had peanut butter and fluff sandwiches everyday....yum! we came home on friday as planned and i drove back to nj once i got back to school. i got to see some friends from home the next day which was awesome and very lovely. and today was easter sunday. happy easter! i went up to aunt christina's and uncle don's house. it was a great last dinner to have. i had a great time. i just got back to school about 10 minutes ago. man, have i missed blogging!!! thanks for reading! 

and we're off!

so today at 4 o'clock my softball team and i will be leaving trinity for the airport to go to FLORIDA!!!! we're going to be playing 10 games in total. we get one day off where we get to lounge on the beach. i'm super excited! i'm going to try to post as often as i can while i'm down there to let everyone know how we did. i'm really nervous about playing. i haven't played on a real softball field for a whole real game of softball since last june. that's a long time ago. hopefully we'll do fine and have some good times. yay florida and yay warm weather. i'll catch ya on the flip side!

did you forget about me?

OH MY GOODNESS!!!! i know i know. it's been forever. but i've actually been without my computer for 9 whole days. that's a long time, definitely a long time for a college student who has daily reflection papers and essays to write, exams to study for, and of course blogs to write on. i've felt pretty disconnected the past week or so. so here's a run down of some of the happenings in the past two weeks:

* my tennis class ended. the last day was a lot of fun. my partner and i played really well and won. it was a lot of fun and i'm sad that it's over now. i'm DEFINITELY going to have to take another tennis class.

* softball is going really well. we've played a couple more scrimmages and it's really fun. i'm playing a lot and doing well too. AND on friday we're going to FLORIDA!!!!!! i'm sooo excited and sooo nervous all at the same time. i'll definitely keep you posted on how our games go while we're down there.

*my friends and i sort of finally agreed as to where we're going to live next year. hopefully it'll be in a dorm called jarvis. it's so nice. it'll be a huge 9 person suite with all of us so keep your fingers crossed that we get the housing.

ok so really you didn't miss a lot. but now that i have my computer back (omg i'm so glad) i'll be posting a lot more.

p.s. just wanted to say thanks to sarah and alex for commenting. as sisters they even commented on the same blog. i'm glad you guys read it and enjoy it. i love yours too!!! love to all my readers!
