Play Ball!

Take me out to the ball game...

Ahhh... finally some sunshine! It was a beautiful afternoon/evening and I am happy to say that I went to my first baseball game of the season. One of the local credit unions offer free tickets to one game per year to teachers. It is a nice gesture, offered to us during teacher appreciation week. All I had to do was email someone, saying that I would like to attend the game, send my address, and I got two free tickets in the mail. It really is a nice thing.

It felt extra nice tonight because the past couple of years I have not been able to take advantage of the free tickets because they were usually offered on a night where I was scheduled to be sitting in a class... but since I am done with classes... for now... I was able to go! (And yes, I said 'for now', about being done with classes... I like taking classes, learning... being around other people who are still passionate about their livlihoods... so I will, at some point take more classes... but not this summer!) I invited one of my pals, Meg, to come to the game with me. She was able to make it and it was great to catch up! I think the last time we hung out was at a hockey game. Meg cracks me up... She has such a good sense of humor, such bad fashion sense, and stories that make me laugh so hard I cry. Tonight was no exception. We had a lot of fun.

I was thinking about how my time is once again my own... and I am excited about that. One of my coworkers, who also just completed her internship and some courses, asked me today how to fill her free time. I understand that... it is hard to know what to do with yourself when you are used to having so many things going on at the same time and suddenly you don't.

But... I have a lot to do... life to live... and I am excited to see what life has in store... Batter up!
