Cricket

I did it. I fianally got to see a full (almost) cricket match between two teams that actually know how to play. I looked up online when a team was playing near me and dragged Dawn out to it. The whole game took about 4 hours, but to be honest, because the weather was so nice and we kept trying to figure things out, I didn't even notice the time going by. So to be clear, just so everyone knows, me not getting bored is a good thing since, well, I'll be watching these matches a lot next spring. And that brings me to my topic of a countdown. I'm guessing most of you have counted down to something cool or big in your life. You must know that it makes you both excited and nervous. I'm excited to go for the chance to do what I am doing, but pretty nervous since I'll be liviong in a foriegn country for four months, and there's no easy way home, just in case. But it will be ok since, well the people of Barbados are really nice, and now I know I really like cricket. This was a bit of a touchy feely post, but deal with it.

I'm almost done!

Almost there, and well so most of you do have an idea since you are too, but still, you have no idea how much I want to get this done with. School was fun, the year, while uh interesting shall we say, was still fun as well. But summer still can't be beat. This year, as dumb as it sounds, is my one good chance to just be a Nashuan. I'll be working at my family store this summer, and then hanging around the house. Plans include working 5 days a week with my dad, my brother, and one of my good friend's mom, going to minor league baseball, maybe playing soccer in some random league as well as cricket if I'm lucky enough, and going and visiting friends. No ridiculous schedule revolving around concerts. No weird co-workers that you can barely understand how they function. Just a calm, relaxed summer and I can't wait. I've decided that since I have been told I have readership I will add a random fact of the week. I think i will call it my common knowledge section. I'm still formulating this week's but it'll be here soon enough. have a good one.
