One Mistake

One mistake, I make one mistake and I'm the bad guy. My bad I said wander instead of wonder, but whatever, get over it.

Library: Study or Social?

Being such an outstanding student, I often find myself seeking refuge in the library. You might wander to yourself why I would write such a statement. To fully understand you need further back story. When the confines of my house become too loud to maintain the proper mindset required to read history or solve organic chemistry questions, I go to the library where one would imagine to find a nice and quiet sanctuary. This however is not the case. The antagonist that I am faced with, loudness, has followed me to the library. In this instance the annoying laughter and murmurs come from Baylor's asian population. I understand that they are the best students through tactics of focus acquired in their communist homelands, but most of us need peace and quiet to study. They seem to believe that the freedom they gained by moving to America includes the right to be a nuisance in what is a "monastery quiet" floor of the library. They fail to comprehend that this is study time, not social hour. While in a state of tremendous turmoil, my mind began to drift and I may be taking this to the extreme, but I can understand why we dropped the bomb.

My Absence, Updates and Pitching?

First and foremost I would like to extend my utmost apology for my lack of correspondence over the previous months. For those of you who have never been in my situation I hope to gain your understanding in the succeeding sentences. The life of a pre-med biology and history major is not one of leisure so I have found myself in the library late at night, yes, including the weekends. It seems that there is little time to play now that I have so many difficult courses to pursue and conquer. I know what you're thinking, is this not the great thinker who has dominated the classroom with little study, relying strictly of superior mental skills and perhaps good looks (flirting with professors works, btw)? It is in fact, the very same guy who has awed audiences for years, however I have decided to focus deeply on my work as I prepare for wherever my road takes me. It is my deepest hope that I have appeased you all with this explanation.

Now for a quick update! Besides spending my nights studying I have found some time to have some fun. I can't be expected to study all the time. Apart from study breaks with a little senorita who you may have heard about, I have been busy with running club baseball and the start up of flag football. The first game was when the NIM took on Alexander the Great. After valiant efforts from the boys of Alexander, the NIMs (me) took the field with a 24-0 victory. You're probably thinking, "wow you had 4 touchdowns? You really are the star of the team!" Unfortunately, I only had one catch for 8 yards due to a lack of communication with my quarterback. I did however have an amazing catch in the corner of the endzone in which both feet were inbounds while maintaining complete possession. Too bad the officiating crew called me out of bounds before the catch, claiming that I could not be the next one to touch the football in question. I am proud of the NIM as we are 1-0 and look to take on the Penland Pigskin Posse next week.

Now for pitching. It has come to my attention that a certain someone will be giving pitching lessons to one of the youth. While some may doubt this new found coach and his pitching skills, I predict that he will give useful knowledge to this young slugger. You see, I believe in an old saying that goes, "those who can't, teach." If this holds true, someone will make an excellent coach. Lastly, I would like to comment of this "double" down the "line." I remember crisply a bloop single dropping into left field where the left fielder, who's mind capacity can be compared to that of a juvenile australopithecus afarensis, kicked the ball around allowing the batter to cruise into second base.

I leave you with this final thought. 1 in 8 women will someday suffer from breast cancer. I urge you to do all you can to promote research by joining local events such as the Race for the Cure and giving Yoplait yogurt tops to a lovely ZETA.

Thank you and God bless
