 So I don't have time for this whole LJ thing anymore.  

Life is so intense.  Alma is great.  Things change, people change but its all good.  Its cold as hell and all I want is for it to snow so I can go skiing.

I am so fired up about softball.  Kasey is sweet.  I am glad she likes ball so much.

Andrea and I just got back from Philadelphia.  We went to visit Mismo.  They are the best people I know.  I love them so much.  Going to Philly was amazing.  A crazy long drive (10-11 hours).  Oh plus rain and driving in the dark.  Larry was fricken hilarious but a sexual harrasser.  I am happy that Mis loves it so much.  The glimpse that I got was wonderful.  The city is amazing.  Sarah (Missy's roommate) is so fun, and Don-Don is fun too!!!  

Getting back into my workout routine.  Lifting M-F mornings, conditioning for an hour, running 2 miles and stretching off the hook.  Sacrifice for softball.  Its my life.

The tigs are in the World Series.  Insane!!!!  Vs. St. Louis Cardinals.  Who would have thought?  They are tied 1-1 right now.  That would be absolutely amazing to bring it back to Detroit. 

My sister just got another puppy.  Between her and Greg, 3 dogs.  2 beagles and 1 mut.  Cute I guess.

I miss all my friends from home.  I miss hockey a lot.  I miss basketball.  I want to live on my own.  That would be a dream.

I was home from Thursday night until Sunday morning.  Friday my sister and I made dinner for my parents anniversary.  It was delicious!  Then after the Pistons game, I met Jessica at Lifetime.  Ran 2.84 miles in 20 minutes.  Then went to applebees b/c my sister is a baby and couldn't drive the car across the street.  Had a oreo milkshake and it was really good.  : )  

Saturday I went to lifetime with my mom and dad.  Ran 2.2 miles.  Then my  mom, sister and I went to Laural Park Mall by my new house to find an outfit for the softball banquet.  Bought the cutest white dress pants!!!  And a hot black skirt.  I got to drive my mom's new car home, it was sweeeeeeeet!  Took a nap b/c my back was hurting.  Then went with Eric to Aaron's bonfire.  It was a lot of fun but I wish it wouldn't have rained.  

Woke up really early on Sunday for church in Flint at the Community Presbyterian Church.  I actually really really enjoyed it.  It was way better than the Episcopal church in East Lansing.  Tracy's little boy, Justin, is so cute!!!!!!!!  Then Katy and I went to Mt. P for lunch at applebees before seeing "The Da Vinci Code."  It was really good.  All the controversy is so stupid.  Worked on my paper all afternoon.  

Went to breakfast this morning then worked on my paper some more before meeting with Dr. Fobes.  Had class from 12-1.  Nick, Dr. Fobes' dog, loves me.  lol.  Love and hate...two very strong words.  Ran with Missy to the tanner and back. 

Life is good.  : )  Going to Mt. P in a bit.  Then tomorrow...Missy and I are going to run in the a.m.  Hopefully it will be warm enough to lay out.  Wednesday...ANDREA IS COMING BACK!  I AM SO FRICKEN PUMPED!  Missy, Andrea and I are going to get our nails done and go ice skating.  The banquet is Thursday, then its goodbye to Alma for the summer and hello to Livonia.

A lot has happened since my last entry...but I am going to make this short.

Two weekends ago...the MIAA tournie.  We lost to St. Mary's on Friday then beat Olivet.  Saturday we play St. Mary's, beat them.  Played Hope, beat them.  Then had to play Hope for the championship and fell 5-6.  Extremely difficult.  Came back to Alma..party at the house.  Sunday night went to the house all night to wait to hear from Denny about Regionals.  At 10:30...it was official that our season was over and we didn't get into Regionals.  Hope continued on and lost.  Thank God!  

The last couple weeks have been really hard for me because I can't believe its already over.  Most of the seniors left last week.  I have spent the night at Andrea's for almost two weeks.  We stayed up all night talking about everything.  She left today and that was really hard for me even though I will see her in a week.  Things just are not the same, now that softbal is over.  Next year is going to be awesome! 

One more week of classes left.  I enjoy the class but I haven't really been into it because of softball.  I have no energy, no motivation to do anything.  It's crazy. 

I went home last Saturday.  Got to visit my grandma.  Hungout with Rachel, Jessica, Pelle, Jennifer + her family.  End of the season party on Friday night.  Craaaazy night but it was so much fun!!!!  <3  

I am coming home this Friday because there is not point in being up here if I have nothing to do.  

Life changes, things happen...you just have to deal with them.  And dealing with those things are really fricken difficult.  But this summer is going to be the best!!!

Softball banquet next Thursday.  : (

Beat Calvin yesterday 5-3 and 2-0.  All 5 runs the first game were b/c of G.  Shes fricken awesome!  2 HRs and the rest RBIs.  : )  Senior day.  It was fun but sad b/c it was there last home game.  And it was awkward b/c this time last year, same game...I was sitting at the game as a fan.  Now I am on the field playing.  Missy and I got teary eyed.  I love the seniors so much!  They are all so different and bring so much to the team.  But I will miss Andrea the most!!! <3  What am I going to do w/o her?  I got hit by a pitch...on the inside of my right foot.  Couldn't walk very well last night but oh well, its ok now.  Went to the house with Missy, Andrea and Gooey last night.  Gooey and I are fricken hilarious!  I love that girl so much!  Then we went to TKE for a few.  Ended up going back to the house and played an ice-cube tray game with Li, Sarah and Amy.  Missy, Andrea and I had a slumber party in Andrea's room.  It was fun.  We are doing it again tonight but this time Gooey and Meg are coming over!  Its going to be awesome!  hahaha  Got up early with Missy to do e-stem and heat.  Then got stretched by Denny.  Then I have to get up at the butt crack of dawn tomorrow for more treatment then I have class at 9:30.  Then the JV game is at 3.  WOO HOO! It is going to be fuuuun!

Won yesterday at Adrian 9-0 and 8-7!  so we are currently 19-9 overall and 8-4 in the league.  not horrible but a little disappointing.  : (  I had two throwouts, so that was good.  cried in Wendys b/c my back is broken.  laid on the floor of the bus the entire way home with ice on my back!  omg, it effin hurt so bad.  it hurts now but nowhere near as bad as it did.  God help me please.  and to top that, I am in the worst hitting slump of my life.  but its ok b/c even though I can't go back and change it...we have a week off until our next game, so I should be plenty rested. 

Happy Easter!!!  went to Sarah Seals' house with Ang, Li, Katie, Andrea, Colligan and Becky for Easter lunch/dinner.  It was amazing!!!!  : )  I love corn bread!

Finals are this week.  ew!  Monday morning, Tuesday night, Wednesday morning and Friday afternoon.  I will be the happiest person when Wednesday is over.

Ahmet, Andrea and I watched 'Million Dollar Baby" Friday night.  It is an amazing more but incredibly sad.  Saturday was Missy Morcom's 20th birthday!  I love her so much, shes so damn perfect! <3  I am so happy she is a sophomore, but fall of 2006 she will be in Philly.  : (  I am going to miss her a ton!  I am glad shes not a senior, I would die!!  I love softball so much.  I have never been happier with it.  Yeah, there are clicks but we all get along.  Everyone is so much fun and easy to get along with.  The only thing that sucks is that there are a lot of seniors.  And to make it worse, why do I have to be so close with some of them?  Not that I hate it b/c I definitely wouldn't take back one second of it.  But they are seniors, they are graduating in like two weeks.  Laura Bell has a job in Livonia and that's sweet b/c I will see her.  But then what about Andrea, Lisa and the rest of em.  Erica and I talk about how we are going to go visit Andrea next year.  And I want to so bad but will we?  I told myself that I was going to see my friends from home so much and I barely even talk to them anymore.  It's life I guess...things change, people change.  But I feel like everytime I turn around someone is leaving me.  I pray to God that Erica and I go visit Andrea.  She's the sweetest person on the face of this Earth.  I look up to her soooo much!!!  I do not even have words to explain how much I respect her, look up to her and admire her.  We'll see what happens.  Hopefully Erica, Andrea, Missy and I will be able to hangout this summer!  That would be great!  We'll see what happens as far as staying in touch with the seniors.   I will do my best b/c I love them so much! <3 
Softball games on Saturday were absolutely horrible!!  We lost 9-1 and 8-0!!! WTF!  Thats definitely not AC softball.  It was a huuuuge embarrassment to AC, the team, the coaches, the fans.  WTF happened?  There was no energy at all.  I think every person that played had errors.  Regardless of what grade everyone is in, we are on the same level when it comes to playing in a game.  I completely understand that underclassmen should carry equipment and seniors shouldn't have to touch it.  I don't care if you don't play, if you're an underclassmen, effin carry the equipment.  And the same for seniors.  I don't care if you don't play or play every single game of the season, you're a senior...you should not carry equipment.  But some people feel differently.   People need to figure it out and play ball.  I am not trying to b*tch b/c I had an error.  But lets get real.  We DEFINITELY have the potential to go to nationals this year. We want it so bad, well at least I hope everyone wants it.  I know I do!  But why we do we have these flukes?  From here on out, I will be doing everything in my power to not let that happen again!  We can only control the things that are within our power.  We can not control the umpires' strike zone, the behavior of our opponents or the weather.  We need to stop b*tching about things, suck it up and play our game.  I know we can.  Everyone needs to reach inside themselves...not to dread and complain about yesterday's game but to analyze it and correct it, to make it better for the present.  
This next week is going to be hard.  Two games at Kzoo on Tuesday, two games at Hope on Thursday and two games at Adrian on Saturday.  We can definitely go 6-0 this week but every single person on this team has to want it.  We are currently 15-7 overall and 4-2 in the league.
Today is Taylor Erwin's 20th birthday!!!!  <3
Last night.  Erica and I went to Andrea's then to Ray's Apartment.  Then went to Bonbright to hangout with some people.  Erica had 2.  I had 3, but I am bigger than she is.  Then we walked to the house.  Cook, Eddy, KC + Eddy's friends were there.  We hungout for a little bit.  Erica and I each had 1 more...oh and then I chugged Cook's glass of beer.  Oops!  Erica and I walked all the way back to Newb to get our IDs for Croc Rox.  We didn't even have to pay, that was sweet!  Saw Emily and Amy.  Danced for a little bit.  OMG, it felt so good to dance somewhere besides a bedroom, the locker room or on the bus.  : ) lol I love dancing.  Then KC bought us shots!  He is a sweetheart, Eddy is so lucky!  "5 dolla!"  hahahaha.  Had two 'dirty girl scouts' and three of something else, don't really know what it was.  But the dirty girl scouts were soooooo good.  Tastes like mint chocolate chip ice cream!!!  Walked back to Erica's room to grab my keys then went back to my room to crash.  It was a good night.  Dancing is always fun!  Not a huge fan of drinking but I didn't get wasted or even close to it so it was ok I guess.  I'm up for trying new things...(dirty girl scouts)!!!
Today has consisted of homework, going to brunch with Missy and Andrea + Chicago, laundry, studying, and abs.  My sister is coming down in a little bit to bring me some things from home, mostly pictures and to visit.  

Oh...and I officially live in Livonia now.  Not really sure of when we are moving, but sometime between now and early June.  Even though I am extremely sad b/c its horrible to be that much farther away from everyone, I am excited to go back home and see the house.  This summer is going to be craaazy.  Gas sucks b/c its so expensive.  Having to drive to Novi everyday?!?! YIKES!!!  (Maybe I will buy an apartment in Walled Lake.  HAHAHA JK, Yeah right!)  But anywho...life is grand!  One more week of school, a week off from school then spring term.  Spring term is going to be M-azing!!! <3

1. school is going well.  i am doing a lot better this semester!  2.5 weeks left.  after finals, we get a week off and then spring term begins.  spring term is going to be awesome!  one class + softball!  i think i might go home the last week of april just to take a break from things up here at Alma.  i had an exam for human physiology on friday.  it basically kicked my ass.  i studied so hard and everything that Dr. Ball emphasized in lecture wasn't even on the exam.  oh well, its over now.  just have to kick ass on the final exam!  yikes!!!  nothing special going on this week for classes.  i will study a lot.  no class this Thursday, that will be nice.  just studying, takin it easy and practice.  next week i have an exam and a paper due, which is cool b/c for both of those classes i do not have a final exam!  : ) 

2. softball = love.  its awesome!  last tuesday we played Albion.  beat them 8-0 both games!  we're sweet.  then friday we played Olivet 4-0, 6-2.  the weather was completely bipolar.  the first game was sunny and then our break it started raining and storming.  but once our second game started it cleared up.  weird.  + a rainbow so that was nice.  Emily had two homeruns! <3  and missy hit her 5th homerun.  <3  yesterday we left at 8:30 am for our doubleheader in defiance, ohio.  we split 1-1 with them. : (  won the first game 4-0 and lost the second game 5-6.  i caught the first game, had a throw out and a double play.  then i dove for a bunt that was foul but i was short by a couple inches.  it was so sweet though.  we lost the second game on errors, which shouldn't have happened.  the jv team won both of their games as well.  Bogie hit a homerun and Fales had two homeruns!  : )  

i think my elbow is going to fall off.  i haven't been throwing as well as i usually do.  :  (  3 hour bus ride.  had a dancy party with junior, bell, em, li, knochel, g, me and then lunsted.  it was funny.  then lunsted gave me a calf massage and i fell asleep. 

3. got back to my room and took a shower.  then went to erica's room to hangout and watch a movie.  then lunsted showed up.  just talked softball for awhile then about everything else in our lives.  had a pillow fight.  lunsted left and came back 2348 times, waited outside the door...for what reason, i don't know.  hahaha  : )  lunsted left then g and i went to bed.  got up at the butt crack of dawn.  g told some gooood jokes and some stories about her high school basketball manager! hahaha  went back to my room b/c she had things to do.  slept for an hour or so then went to brunch with kel, shannon, matt and ahmet.  

4. cleaned already.  now i am going to go workout and run with lunsted...outside finally!  it better stay nice outside!  i loooove spring!!!  i can't believe this year is basically over.  im almost a sophmore in college!  insane.  <3  time flys.
