So, yeah, I think the title says it all. I have not had a post in a really long time and that is mostly due to an overwhelming semester but partially due to not remembering to make a post. And if people really are reading this, I apologize but I don’t think I had any regulars so I am okay there.
A few details to catch up. I currently only have 3 semesters remaining of my undergraduate degree. I don’t currently plan on going to grad school, however if I do, it will be on the East Coast. For the start of my summer, I had gone to Ireland the first half of the trip was study abroad but the second half was simply a vacation with my mom. It was my first time in Ireland and I absolutely loved it and really want to go back.
Now, it is baseball season and damn do I love it. Of course I gave up on the Cubs quickly, and hopefully they can show some life sometime in the near future. The Nationals were pre-season favorites to win the World Series, but they are not playing like it right now. They will need to play some serious ball to even make it to the playoffs at this point. Now the Orioles need to step it up a bit. They have amazing offense but it seems that when that starts to slump, the pitching also falls apart. Starting pitching is finally looking like something to be proud of. Tillman is just been a true Ace for us, and our supposed Ace, Hammel, has the highest ERA of all our starters. As of now we are in the playoffs as a Wild Card, but I don’t think taking the division is out of the question. Davis was on a tear prior to the All-Star game, which he was a starter in his first appearance, and Davis is what stands between Miguel Cabrera and a 2nd triple crown. Since the All-Star break, Davis has not been so hot but I think this slump won’t last too much longer. Then of course Manny Machado, he is a shoe-in for the gold glove at 3rd and although he only has 1 double in July I still believe he can break the season record.
Personally, I am currently spending my summer writing. I previously had a novel in the works but I now have two after having another idea come to me on the flight back from Ireland.
I will try to write a little more regularly, but I can make no such promises because I am completely unreliable when it comes to this thing and I know how busy and forgetful I can be.
So until next time, whenever that may be.
