the end is near...

As I sit at home during my gigantic block of openness in the day, I smile at the idea that I only have 1 full day of school left. Its been a sloooow year, but pretty easy compared to next year's schedule:
0 - Jazz Band
1 - French 4
2 - Wind Ensemble
3 - A/P Human Geography
4 - Physics
5 - Honors English
6 - Math 4
7 - A/P Statistics

This past weekend we (the softball team) had our brooms stolen from us by the Juneau Gladiators, I mean Bears. Damn steriods...

Oh well, we're still goin' to state the weekend after this one...

sweepin' for 14/4 (14 wins, 4 losses)

Just returned via aeroplane Alaska from Ketchikan and Prince of Wales (POW). The All-Mighty Sitka softball team swept 'em all. We're going to store our brooms for Juneau where we hope to make them cry in front of their fans on their home territory.
In the Ketchikan game I nearly parked one. It bounced over the fence...
Because we have such a great record (14/4), we qualify for the 'ship. The State Championship Tournament will be in North Pole. This is our 3rd year in a row qualifying, 2nd year in a row GOING.

"...tis a brilliant view over yonder..."

Shortly after failing my psych. 101 final, I drove my lame butt downtown. I payed nearly five dollars for my iced drink and began walking down the the sidewalk of Lincoln street. Tourists from the first tourship of the summer were flooding the warm sidewalks of Sitka. As I walked I heard two elderly Native men exchanging fishing stories while lounging on "the wall." I overheard a British woman speaking of the "brilliant view" that could be seen from the lawn near Rain Country.
I watched several tourists wander out into the middle of the road, stand on the yellow line and snap hundreds of pictures of the church. I observed old men slumped in lawn chairs outside giftshops awaiting their knick-knack searching wives. One woman in a swishy-suit stopped right in front of me, looked down at her map and said to her hubby (wearing a matching swishy-suit), "Well, Garth, if we want to see the Russian Dancers we need to go back that way because the show's at 2. But if we just want to go to Castle Hill, then we're on the right track..."
-Oh, decisions, decisions. A group of Russians had a picture frenzy in front of the giant, stuffed, brown bear outside the Bazaar.
As annoying as the terrorists can be, they actually made Sitka feel fresh on such a beautiful day...

9/4

As of this weekend, our win/loss record is 9/4. We beat Ketchikan in the first two games by quite a bit. The third game... Well, I wonder if we even showed up to play.
Very similarly, we beat P.O.W. in both the first and second game. No, not Prisoners Of War, but Prince Of Wales. Anyways, we practically handed 'em the last game.
I skipped Prom Saturday night, but heard decent things... I'm crying.

Just kidding.

softball @ anchorage

I spent this last weekend in Anchorage for softball. The journey started at 4 am Thursday and ended Saturday 12 am. There were a total of 13 complainy girls. We won all four of our games. We played Colony, Palmer, Wasilla and Houston. Twas a fun trip.

Famous lines from our hour-long road trips to Wasilla:
#1 "Bueno." - Kaari Stockel
#2 "Everyday." -iraaK leckotS
#3 "Ever'body in the club gettin' tipsy." -The damned radio never stopped playin' it.
#4 "I'm tellin' you, and I'm serious." -Kaari Stockel (hand motions incorporated)"
#5 "Good Call." -Moi
#6 You know they're not going to sell all those." -Kaari Stockel on the thousands of cars sitting in gigantic parking lots in the middle of nowhere.

Am I forgetting any? Probably...
