Spring Break Plans

     This spring break is unique for me, because it will be the only spring break ever without baseball for me. All throughout high school we played baseball during break and were never allowed to go somewhere. Last year at ONU I went to Florida with the team. But this year there is no point in me going because I can't do anything. So I have the freedom to do whatever I want for my only real spring break.

    I didn't even think about this until right before my surgery. Thankfully I brought it up right as my friends were making plans and I was able to get in on the trip. All ten of us finally decided to rent out a cabin in Gatlinburg and we're staying there from Sunday-Thursday. There are many things that I am excited about for the break.

    First, it will be very nice not to have to worry about school for a week. Second, I'm super excited to spend time with my friends. This will be my first vacation without any parents there so it should be interesting. The only thing that sucks is that I can't play golf with my friends because of my elbow. But other than that, I have no complaints. 

    The perk of a four-day vacation instead of the whole week is that I get to be home for a few days as well. I get to see my sister who lives in Chicago now, which will be nice. It will just be super nice to chill out and forget about school.

    Overall, nothing crazy is planned but I know I'll get to spend a lot of time with some fun people and that's all that matters. The optimistic way to look at this situation is that if I'm hurt, I might as well have fun and not let the injury stop me. 

    Obviously, I'd rather be out there playing baseball, but in the end, this is a pretty good backup plan.

    Drew, I grew up with a similar experience. I did gymnastics until I graduated from high school and we always had competitions during spring break. I have only been somewhere during spring break once in my life and I was very young. Unfortunately, I do not have a fun vacation planned with all of my friends. I plan on sleeping in, shopping and going to the gym! Have a fun vacation!

    I went to Tennessee for my senior trip this past summer. And it is fun being able to plan a trip alone with your friends without the influence of parents. It was nice to be able to do what we wanted to do rather than having to do whatever your parents want. I would have to agree as this being a pretty nice backup plan!

Progress- Looking Forward to Baseball

Image
      It has been hard not to think about hitting or throwing baseballs. Now that it is getting closer to the time where I start to actually do stuff, I'm definitely getting anxious. Especially with baseball season going on and watching the Reds almost daily, it makes me want to get out there even more.     As my elbow gets a little bit better, I find that I can do some little things that I wasn't able to before. I've always practiced my swing with my hands when I'm bored, so it's nice that I can at least do that now. I'm always trying to see how I can improve my swing, even now. I love watching the swings of MLB players and trying to see what I can incorporate into my own swing. Thinking about that makes me want to go out there and try it, but I have to be patient.      I'm glad I got the surgery when I did because the time frame works out to where I had no chance to return this year but safely return next year. Knowing myself, I would've lied and said

Last Week

      This last week at ONU has made me anxious to leave. It seems like the only thing to think about is getting final projects and exams done and then leaving. It is hard to stay in the moment during dead week. There are some things that I just accept because there is only one week left, and I get the change of scenery.      I would say this year was a fun year overall. I was pretty bored not being able to play any sports, but other than that I had a good time hanging out with friends. The school part was obviously not super fun, but I had more time because of my injury. Now after this semester I won't have to take six classes ever again.      I am definitely looking forward to next year. If there are no setbacks then I will be able to hit and field in the fall for baseball, and I will get to live in a quad with my current roommate and a couple other friends. I also don't have to wake up super early for any classes, so I'll be able to sleep in or get a workout in before cl
