i've seen better days.....

ugh. we are scheduled to play our last game of softball today against wesleyan. unfortunately, we did not make the nescac tournament this year. We are still waiting to see if we possibly could receive an at-large bid to get into the ncaa playoffs, but we still haven't heard anything yet. this season was one of our best yet, we just fell short when it came to crunch time. but on the upside we can get two more wins today, at home, on senior day and finish our season on a very high note! another plus is that school is very rapidly winding down, only 5 more days of classes! i have lots of projects and papers and exams that i'm finishing up, but soon junior year will be over. ugh is right!

11 in a row

man, the softball team was on a tear. 11 wins in a row. pretty good stuff. we beat some not so great teams and we beat others that are regionally ranked. we finally fell to tufts on sunday in our second game. tufts is our biggest rival, they are good team but we get them one more time and i know we can come out on top. morale is high on the softball and today we play a double header against manhattanville. don't know anything about them but i know we'll come out strong. as for school, it's very quickly winding down, only two more weeks until the last day of classes, but i still have SO MUCH work to do. being a junior is crazy!

junior year....gone

tomorrow signifies three weeks until the last day of classes!!!! the last day of classes as a junior!!! omg, where has the time gone??? i feel like there is so much left to do this semester: papers, research projects, exams. but only three weeks and then i'm a rising senior. that's almost hard to comprehend!!! the last three years have flown by. oi. may 14th and i'm heading back home after finals. some scary stuff, but also a lot of fun! this semester has been kicking my butt but just three more weeks or hard work and then the fun of summer can finally sink in!

7 and 7

whew! things at school have been ultraly busy!!!

well another spring training has come and gone, only one more left! it was tons of fun, as usual. unfortunately the softball wasn't great. we ended the week 4 and 7 but we're excited about the promise that the team showed (and a special thanks to grandma and grandpa for coming out to support!!!!!). i think we can definitely do better and we proved that some this past weekend. we swept bates! great wins for trinity; bates is a big nescac school that knocked us out of the tournament last year so it was good to get some revenge. my old softball coach came up on friday to watch me play. while he's seen me play hundreds of games he's never seen me play second base, dressed in blue and gold, wearing number 17. that was a lot of fun. especially since the weather was sooooo nice this weekend! i got super burned on saturday. saturday night i went out to dinner with my parents and roommates and then my parents came over for a lovely easter brunch. one of my roommates made eggs benedict, they were delicious!! then i spent the rest of the day on the quad enjoying the summer-like weather. the rest of the day was spent on work. LOTS of work that i have to do. i've had work almost non-stop since being home from spring break. and i might add it's april already!! only a month and a half left of school, where does the time go??!?!?!?!

busy as a bee

after being in australia for so long, i forgot what it's like to be super busy with work and softball and friends. it's definitely a lot on my plate right now. but enough to keep me working hard and not too much that i'm freaking out all the time. so that's definitely a good thing. it's nice to stay busy. some days are longer than others but i just take in stride. and this weekend my best friend jenna from australia is coming for a visit! it's her birthday on saturday (which seems to be the same day as someone else's birthday.....hmmmmmm!) so it should be a lot of fun to have her around. then one more week with two papers and an exam and then i'm off to florida for spring training!!! yay!!!! definitely a high light of the year! well speaking of busy, i better get to class!!

woot woot part 2

not again

a week ago i got my car broken into (for the second time) and my whole purse was stolen. yes i'm a FOOL for leaving my purse in my car especially in hartford. but i was actually mentoring which only lasts an hour and it's in the middle of the day and i parked right in front of the elementary school so i figured not too much could go wrong, well i was wrong alright. for about a day and half i was absolutely furious. i went back and forth between being totally upset and totally horrified and totally angry at whoever thought they needed to break into my car. but getting some good words of advice from my parents, especially my dad, i just realize how lucky i truly am. within a week i haven't basically everything of importance replaced except for my license which should be on it's way soon. while crappy things may happen here and there i really am grateful for all that i have. i have an amazing family and has supported me time and time again. i have good friends that helped me out if i needed some money or a trip to get my window replaced. i am fortunate enough to be able to afford to fix my car window and replace all my credit cards, license, and insurance cards. so i want to say thank you, especially to my parents, for putting up with me and guiding me through life. i really am lucky, we all are very lucky to have one another, and while i might have forgotten that for even a second, i know that the next obstacle life throws at me, my family has my back. and guess what? i got theirs!
