"we're sydney softball girlies!"

if you are reading this, then you know a member of the best college softball team in australia.

yes, you read that right. this past week we had spring break and i joined the softball team for a trip up to the gold coast where we got to play softball for a week. a competition between 44 different universities bringing in 7,000 students, and the softball team came out on top. now i must admit there were only 4 softball teams including us and they all pretty much sucked BUT it was still very cool to win the gold and call myself, an american, one of the best softballers in australia. pretty cool. while there we also got to relax on the beach, meet a bunch of new people (some from softball and others just from sydney uni), go out at night, and of course kick some butt during softball. i even pitched a game and we still won ( for those of you who don't know, i haven't pitched since i was about the age of 9, so that's a big accomplishment!). some nights had themes to them that we dressed up for to go out in like bright and tight or super heros or bogen (which is like their country style theme). it was pretty cool. other wise we wore our team shirts that you can see in the photos. it was an amazing trip. it was great to have a break from school, yes i do go to classes (sometimes jk mom i haven't missed one yet!), and to get to relax a little by getting out sydney and playing some ball. it was a great weekend. the girls i met were awesome and we're already thinking of reunions, very cool. i've invited them all to come visit me in america (sorry again mom!). it was really a great time. it was quite different from my regular spring break that happens at trinity, which was also kind of nice. it's good to be able to switch things up a bit. and now it's tuesday and we are in week 10 of school out of 13. insane that school is almost over, that this trip is almost over....but SHHHHHH we don't like to talk about it!!!!!
