Yes! The longest day of the summer (well, the second longest day after the 50km enduro) is finally over! I had too many things to do today and too little energy to finish the day.

So this morning I wrote my exam for ENGL 306A, Introduction to Linguistics. I didn’t expect a Distance Ed. course to be so demanding but with 8-9 hours of work and then trying to find time to listen to monotone lecture tapes, it’s really hard. But I’m glad I took the course. The more courses I take in CogSci, the more interesting it becomes. So that’s two of the seven courses I need to get the option. And I’ve decided to drop my Management Science courses in favour of something more interesting, something more stimulating. “I don’t want to be a manager, I want to be a president!”

Then TWO softball games. Versus 3 Scoops and Moment. At the start of our first game against 3 Scoops we only had 5 players. So one person as catcher, two infield and then two outfield. We were able to hold them to no runs in the first inning but then it fell apart after that. We ended up losing 23 – 11. Their bats were on fire. Luckily, we had a better game against Moment. We fell behind early but then I opened the 4th inning with a HOME RUN!! Yessir, I hit my first ever dinger, a solo home run. We followed that up with 2 more home runs that inning to take the lead and eventually win. Unfortunately, Moment lost again. But they only lost by 3 runs, so they are improving (or maybe our team is just missing Oliver and Jeff). Anyway, what a highlight day! I made some good defensive plays and then screwed up some easy ones. But the home run really lit up my day.

Fielder, beware! My bat has finally awoken and I’m hoping to repeat that home run (but with more people on base, of course)!
