Spring Break Recap

    I was very excited going into spring break. I was excited to be with my friends and family without thinking about school. I ended up doing a lot over break, and it was a great time. 

    The first weekend, my friends and I went out at UC. We had a pretty good time, but we were ready for our trip to Gatlinburg. We left on Sunday and were all ready to get going. We got everything set up at the cabin with all the food, drinks and whatever else people brought. We hung out and played PlayStation and chilled out the first night. 

    On Monday we went on a small hike during the day and grilled steaks for dinner. Then, we all hung out and stayed up late. The next morning, they all played golf. Everyone wasn't feeling the best after the previous night. Unfortunately, I watched eighteen holes of golf. It got pretty boring towards the end, but we still had a fun night back at the cabin. On Wednesday we went on a long 5.5-mile hike on a mountain in Gatlinburg. This really tired us out, but the views were very cool. At the top, there was a cool waterfall. Right before this picture was taken, I had to jump over some obstacles to meet everyone and fell on my butt in the water, so that sucked. In the end, the hike was cool, but I was glad it was over.


    After the hike, we ate in Gatlinburg then walked around and looked at all of the interesting shops they had. I didn't really know what to expect in Gatlinburg but there are definitely some unique places. When we got back to the cabin, we went all out that night and made sure that we made the most of our last night. 

    After we got back, I had to relax for a couple of days because of all of the action on the trip. It was nice being home and just relaxing for a bit. My friends and I then went out again on Saturday for St. Patrick's Day which was fun. 

    That pretty much concludes my spring break. After reflecting on it I made the most of the time off of school and my only spring break without baseball. Now I'm ready for next year and actually being able to play.

    Sounds like you had an awesome spring break, Drew! I work at a golf course so I can imagine how watching other people play 18 holes after a long night definitely might not have been the most fun for you. Glad you had a great break and got to actually have at least one spring break without having baseball.

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

Image
      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

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 thin
