Sep. 19th, 2006 01:22 pmHi, Red Sox! If you guys could kick the Twinkies' asses, that would be really great and very helpful. Remember: the key is not to let them win. The Tigers will thank you. With orgies chocolate.

Sep. 19th, 2006 08:02 pmOMG BUSY DAY.
It started with a tour of Hadlock Field for Foundation of Sport. (Incidentally, does anyone know how the hell I'm supposed to figure out the fan cost index when I have no idea what a particular park charges for anything?) We got to walk ON THE FIELD. We had to stay on the warning track or the groundskeepers would EAT US, but it was so cool. I love Hadlock Field. And while I'm on the subject, on Sunday the Sea Dogs won the Eastern League Championship for the first time since they started in 1994. Plenty postseason berths, first championships. GO SEA DOGS.
I walked to and from Hadlock to home, which worked beautifully in theory, but in practice, it's a hell of an uphill hike. I collapsed and was unable to catch the bus that would have gotten me to school early enough to do my algebra in the Learning Center before Psychology. So, I had to go in after class. No big, except. Our baseball team had a doubleheader today, and I was going to hit the laundromat (DESPERATE need) before the first game, but staying after class meant I couldn't. So, I had to choose clean clothes over college ball.
(Why not go to the second game, you ask? Because the doubleheader is taking place in a supersketchy park, which is fine during the day and flatout dangerous at night. Not walking through it alone at ten-ish at night just to watch a ballgame, kthx. I was intending to skip the second game anyway.)
I'm not entirely sad, though, since that park is in the same general part of town as Hadlock, so that would have meant making the same uphill hike home twice in one day, which is a detail I had not considered. Even if I had been able to go, I'm not sure I could have faced that again.
So at the laundromat, I worked on more algebra. Walk to the park, walk home, walk to the bus, go to class, do algebra, get the bus, walk home, walk to the laundromat, do algebra, walk homeand die. I feel like all I did all day was walk and solve equations. I know algebra only showed up there twice, but believe me, that is enough. One hour of algebra = three miles of walking. Which is probably about how much actual ground I covered today. And I did about two hours of algebra.
It was all very productive. And I do believe I have a tiny bottle of Malibu calling my name.
