walking, just walking

Today was the first day of try-outs for softball. It wasn't considered an "Official Practice," but instead, a "Captain's Practice." -The only difference was that it was cut two hours short (yeah, luckily, we didn't have to do the conditioning today). Tomorrow, on the other hand, WILL include the two hours of conditions, so it will be twice as long in the 70 degree sun! -Four hours of softball with intense pressure. There are four other girls walking on. Two are returning from last year (givin' it another go), one from California, one who hit THREE homeruns today and about four at the bottom of the fence (she's probably going to make the team), and myself... From Sitka, Alaska, where we play softball for less than three months of the year (in the cold rain). Anyway, I did alright today... Nothing special, but just fine.

The team seems about the calibur of our good friends at JDHS. Seattle U even wears RED AND BLACK! -I might feel kind of dirty if I have to wear those colors... If I DO make the team, I will get lots of super cool gear! All of the "returning scholarship players" have like twenty t-shirts (in multiple colors), pairs of sweatpants, shorts, shoes, sweatshirts, you-name-it, that say "Seattle University Redhawks Softball." -I mean, really, that's why I'm trying out... Its all about the "gear." Haha.

In the event that I DO NOT make the team, I will get a job, have a more luxurious social life, and probably gain the freshmen fifteen... So, either way, a Redhawk or not, there are options...
