I love girl scout cookies! Thank you grandpa and grandma. I have been munching on these things since I got them. A world without girl scout cookies is a world worse off. I weighed myself the other day for the first time since baseball has started and I've put on 8 pounds of muscle. I'm not up to bulky 183, I'm getting a little worried though that I'm about to put on a couple more in girl scout cookies. Whatever I do put on I'm sure to lose right away though, Coach Gryce, our pitching coach, is pretty good about working us until I question why it is that I'm playing baseball. I had to miss the post practice conditioning yesterday because I had my 6 o'clock class. So today I "get" to make up for my "missed opportunity to get better." That's how you have to look at it, when you want to stop or slow down, you have to think about what it does for you. All the hard work before college, in high school, got me on the now #14 team in teh country and to date I've added 2-3 mph to my fastball and put on 8 pounds so obviously its working out for me.
Dad you will like this, throwing live yesterday I had the best control of my changeup that I've had in a long time. There was one hitter that I was down 2-0 to and came back with two changeups right on the outside corner, beautiful.
I have my first exam of the semester on Friday. I am definitely not looking forward to it. Its in my Communication 101 class and this prof is notorious for his brutally hard tests. He went over what the test was going to be on during the last 20 seconds of class today. "The test is on everything we've gone over in class and anything out of the book so far." Why cant prof's just give us study guides, that would help so much! My psych prof first semester did that and what do you know I got an A and my test average was definitely in the A range. So hopefully this test goes alright.
Opening day for my mariners is in 26 days and the home opener in 33. Single game tickets go on sale Saturday at 10 am so guess who is going to be online at 10 on saturday trying to get tickets for opening day, this guy! Especially with the Mariners hopefully going to be in contention this year I can't wait to watch games in my King Felix jersey. I might just live in that thing, for the spring at least. I saw the Lee threw 3 innings today and gave up one run on 5 hits. Not exactly Cy Young numbers, but its Spring training. Besides, the Cy Young is going to Felix this year anyways. There's my two cents.
