Talk about a long month and a half. There's been so much going on it's hard to know where to start.
As always, let's talk sports. I've finally made my decision NOT to play football next year due to various reasons. Politics, the possibility of an injury, and the ability to focus on my one sport I am actually good at, baseball, all make up my main reason. On to baseball. I started at 3rd base for 17 games, including two league games. I made a bunch of errors, but I also greatly progressed. My arm has been getting stronger (thank goodness) and my batting has slowly improved. During spring break, I officially made the move from 3rd to Shortstop during a tournament. I started at Short for 3 of those tournament games and another 2 league games. Although it is my favorite position, it has given me the most trouble lately. I have had no confidence in my ability to play there at all. Which frustrates me since I started there all of last year. So that leads up to this week, where I made the transition from Short to Second. I have been successful so far, which is kind of amazing since I have never played Second before in my baseball career. It is also nice that I have been able to have confidence in my defense, which is sort of the basis of how good I am, since I will probably never be a home run hitter. LOL. However, we lost these past two league games versus the top notch private catholic school in our league. Extremely close game on Wednesday, blow out on Friday. On Friday I played all 3 positions I have previously played as Varsity, excepting 1st Base. So right now I am still looking for my niche as a member of our team and it might be a little too late for that. If I can do it before the end of the year however, I can improve on that for next year. Senior year. AH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! haha. lol. This week we play Oaks Christian, another private school. Fun eh?
Social. So Laura e-mailed me back saying it was just a bad day to start with and that it was partly my fault for repeating myself over and over. Which I will not deny doing because I do not really know how to talk to girls in person and I will be the first one to admit that. However... she should have at least said something about how she was the one freaking out. But whatever - it's hopefully just going to settle down and I will not complain. Not one bit. I still retain the fact that I CANNOT wait to get into college so that I can start meeting new and different types of people instead of being restricted to a small social group. If only I lived in the city... lol.
School. Those AP tests are looming closer than ever and I do not feel ready for them. AHHH!! I took my ACT test (plus writing) yesterday and it was easier than I thought it would be. Surprisingly enough. Um. It looks like I am taking a community college online course of Senior English (to avoid politics) and 3(possibly 4) AP tests next year: Economics and Government (Both are semester classes), Calculus (year course)(and Chemistry). At least it won't include English too. *sigh*
So that's me. I'm a nerd and a geek. I play sports. Talking to gals just ain't my thing at the moment. Oh well. I can wait till after my mission to start getting good at that! :) haha.
