I'm Baaaaaack

So, I skipped all of April on accident, and now almost half of May. The good news is that now that finals are over the blogging can resume!

Man, what a wild semester, year, everything this has been. If you are reading this you are subject to my will as far as what I choose to write so get ready.

First, I am incredibly blessed. I have an amazing family, both immediate and extended, and the best friends anyone could ever ask for. The time between my last post and this one has been insane, here's the rundown.

I did not get the internship with Enterprise Rent-A-Car. I was crushed of course, as I really had thought that was what I was supposed to do. However, a few days later I received an unexpected phone call. A few days later I was the new intern for the Brazos Valley Bombers. The Bombers are a wood bat collegiate only summer league baseball team located here in Bryan-College Station, Texas. It's kind of like a AAA team but the players cannot be paid or they would lose their eligibility.

The best part of the internship is the work I will be doing. I will be writing all of the stories and press releases, keeping statistics for the team, doing some minor assistant coaching tasks, booking hotels, etc. I am also going to be traveling with the team on road trips. I am beyond excited, even though I know I will be run ragged by the time the summer is over.

Marissa, my amazing, incredible, talented, beautiful, and remarkably patient-with-me girlfriend also got an internship with a company in College Station that does t-shirt, web, and other parts of design. She got it in less than 24 hours. You can check out her blog and some of her work, including the t-shirt design that basically got her the job here.

Glad you're back. All during the end of this semester, I have been consumed by trying to understand Spanish. Spanish is fine, but my professor has been, for lack of a better word, unhelpful. I'm glad the class is over, but I hope I was able to pull off a "B" somehow.

April 30th was the birthday of my favorite sister, M.C. She turned 25 and she is a wonderful example in my life. She is currently heavily pursuing journalism, and I could not be more proud of her after she recently got an internship as a photographer for the Salem News near Boston, Mass.

We had dinner that night in Houston at a place called Armando's that was incredible, and I got to hang out with my sister, her amazing friend Laura, Marissa, and my extended family.

The next day was my dad's wedding. It was certainly an interesting and difficult night. I was asked to say the prayer before dinner, and that was very difficult for me, but I'm glad I did it. After the dinner was over, he and his bride left and the rest of our group strolled over to the bar at the hotel the wedding was at. After some time there my cousin Katie and I decided to give wedding crashing a try. All I will say about that is that it was a great success.

These past few days have been all about finals. On Tuesday I had three. For the first time in my life I did not sleep at all. Monday night became Tuesday morning without my body ever touching my bed or sleeping for one second. I was frustrated because I cam so close to getting an A in one class from all that work (just 4 questions short), and my Spanish test would have been just as hard if I hadn't studied. Oh well, at least the semester is over.

Well, I'll stop here for today, that's all I care to talk about right now. I will make an effort to resume my blogging asap. Thanks for reading!
