Winding down

     These last few weeks have been quite busy for me, but I think I'm on the downhill part of the rollercoaster now. After the social media exam tomorrow, I have one more exam left. There are also a couple of group projects left but I will have a whole week to finish those up. I'm super glad and lucky to not have a super busy ending to the year.

    It is a weird feeling because I'm just ready to leave at this point. Pretty much all of my friends are already home, so they are all back hanging out already. It's only a couple of weeks so I'll just have to get through it. 

    It's kind of hard at this point to talk about things going on because there really isn't much right now for me. I just do my schoolwork, go to physical therapy, watch the reds and play MLB the show. I go to baseball sometimes, but I don't do much there. The weekends are still fun hanging out with everyone, but the weekdays have been boring lately. I'm just so ready for the change of scenery back home and getting out of my boring routine. 

    That doesn't mean I haven't had a good year here at ONU, it is just getting boring now. Obviously, it hasn't been the best with my injury, but I feel as if I've made the most of the situation and still had some fun. Hopefully I won't have to do that again, however. I will find out what I can and can't do this summer right after school ends when I get reevaluated. It's weird because I don't know exactly how I'm supposed to feel at this point. The recovery process is so long that the progress is super gradual. 

    All I know is I'm going to be so happy when I can swing a bat again whenever that is. I'm also excited to play golf again this summer. I just hope I'm on the right track and am able to start doing some things soon.

    Playing MLB the Show is going to become a problem this summer. A lot of hard work and dedication is about to go into that game with all the time we're going to have this summer. And you being able to have the summer to go work Reds games is going to be an awesome experience for you. Hopefully I see you out on the GABP grounds one day.

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
