Well, it's Super Bowl Sunday...

...and, true to form, I'm sitting here at home, not watching it, having absolutely no plans for the day. 99% of the population of the US is probly watching the Super Bowl, but apparently, I'm not home enough, so today we're going to have "family time". Of course, the Aist's are over, the Seeley's are coming over, my dad is locked in his room doing homework and my mom is on the phone.

To be honest, I haven't actually asked if I could go anywhere, because my mom took the initiative this morning and made it clear she didn't want me to go anywhere...I suppose if I pleaded I might be allowed to do something besides sit here while my siblings have friends over...who knows.

My game yesterday wasn't particularly great, but my leg didn't bother me as much as I thought it would, so I was fairly satisfied. I scraped out an infield hit and an RBI in three chances, and had four assists...so it wasn't technically a bad game...but I really wasn't hitting well. It might have had to do with Jack stealing my glasses at the Kelsey's, and forgetting to return them, so I had to play the game without my glasses. Anyway, I got nauseous halfway through the 14 inning game, and had to leave. It was ridiculous...the way it was supposed to work was that both schools would field two teams, a Varsity and a JV team. The Varsity players would play the first 6-7 innings, and then the JV's would gradually be subbed in, until it was a JV game...that's why we play 14. But a lot of our players also were doing Princeton Review, or Basketball or Soccer, so we had 50% JV to begin with, and only 12 players total. So after 7 innings, we were just playing to give their JV a chance to play...not cool. I would understand this happening once, but it's happened every game so far....I'm just glad the Winter leagues ending so the season can start.

On a completely different note, I've been getting a lot of e-mails from colleges, offering me pamphlets and brochures and guides and whatnot, and urging me to consider their college. I've decided that I like mail, so I've gone to every site and requested more info. So in the next few weeks I'm going to get a lot of mail..I think I'll feel special. Especially since I made sure some of them are going to be addressed to "Mr. Penguin".
