Weekend back in Woodland

This weekend my baseball team traveled down to Forest Grove for a 3 game set with Pacific. I, unfortunately was not on the travel squad this weekend, so I made the most of my weekend. Yes I would have liked to go with the team but it just gives me something to build off of. So I decided I would go home since I haven't been since Christmas break. Three girlfriends of guys on the team were driving down for the games so I caught a ride with them on the way down.

On Friday night I just hung out. Stayed up way too late with Adam watching TV and playin' Call of Duty. Saturday I woke up and went to the high school baseball practice. It was weird being with my old high school team and not practicing. I did throw live to them because they were running short on arms. After practice was over I gave a little insight into what I have learned playing college baseball and told some of they guys what I wish I would have done differently while I was there. If felt good to help out my old team, that feels weird to say. I spent the rest of my day just hanging out watching college basketball, just like I have been since Thursday. My bracket started out solid but there is a lot of red on it now, dangit. So my only hope for the bracket now is UW surprising everyone and winning a couple more games.

Sunday I went to breakfast with AJ and Jared at Rosies. As usual I ran into like 20 people I knew, ah the joys of Woodland. Once I got home I resumed my post in my chair watching basketball. The Michigan State, Maryland game was on. I had Maryland in my bracket and they lost on a buzzer beater. So far there have been 3 buzzer beaters in the tournament, my picks are 0-3 in those games. Someone of higher power wants me to lose it feels like.

All in all it was a good weekend. Pulling out of the driveway on my way back to campus really made me realize how much I enjoy being home. Most of the credit is due to just the fact of being around family, getting warm home cooked it meals. I would be lieing if I said it isn't nice getting away for awhile though. My next time going home isn't going to be until I'm done with school. Which actually isn't that far off. I counted really quick and its 63 calender days.

This is the last week of school before spring break, the break from classes is going to be nice. I only have 1 midterm but it is going to be brutal, American Business and Economic History, not so fun.

We have a home series this weekend with Willamette. I'm feeling it, going to make my college debut this weekend. I can't wait!
