Catch up

I haven't been all that nice to the blog lately.  Not really sure why.  I think for a while it was because I'm afraid honesty can be hurtful...but I also don't want to go on lying in this either or avoiding things.  Let's focus on some good though shall we.

It is baseball season.  You wouldn't know it because it is snowing out my window right now but believe it or not it is time for baseball.  The Emmanuel team has begun practicing and it's been a nice way to break away from the work routine.  It is funny, I see these guys everyday for a couple months but when the season ends, even though we are at the same place, I will go months without seeing the very same guys until baseball season starts up again.  It's almost like everyone went home for summer vacation and then we get back together again in the fall.  I think we are going to struggle again this season.  We have a great group of guys who are going to have a lot of fun and probably work harder then every other team we face...unfortunately we are up against a really strong league.  We will overachieve in the sense that the majority of our games will be tight and if we learned anything from losing tough games in the fall we might have a shot at going .500 in the spring.  We have to remember that this team won 3 games this past fall...which at first sounds sad but in actuality over the last 3 years they had only won a combined 3 games, so we'll take it!

It is also the time of year when job searching occurs.  THANKFULLY, this is the first time in a couple years that I can relax during this time period and just do the interviewing.  It's an exciting/nerve wracking experience for all of those beginning that process and I wish you the best of luck.  It's been nice catching up with my former students who are finishing up their grad programs and are going through the placement exchange and all that fun stuff!  I'm also excited for the group of my friends who have decided to go back to school and have gotten in!  Congrats!

Oh! And I don't think I have talked much about the improv classes I have been taking at ImprovBoston.  I finished my first 8 week class and am about to start Level 2.  My friends do a pretty good job reminding me that it's a waste of money because I haven't gotten any funnier...but I'm really enjoying it. It's an odd group of people that I'm working with but we laugh a lot and it gets me off campus and into Cambridge at least once a week...that I can appreciate!

Well, I guess this is a start to get back into the swing of things, blogging that is.
