scratch that

Sarah probably is not coming this weekend unless a miracle happens....this sucks.

Hit the ground running

1 class done....another this afternoon....supposed to be 1 more tonight but I'm not attending. Volleyball is hosting a tourney this weekend so I've got super busy days today, tomorrow, and Saturday. Sarah hopefully gets here on Saturday night. She needs too b/c I will definitely need some hang out time after this weekend is over. It's been too long since we've seen each other.

I gotta clean the house tonight so she doesn't think I'm a slob and since there isn't much other time during the weekend.

Life is good.

Meat and Potatoes

Two-a-days are all but over for volleyball. No practice tomorrow and 1 on Sunday so I guess technically they are done. We had the Black & Gold game tonight which went over without a hitch. I'm excited to get into the season and start traveling to places I've never been before.

Class starts Monday. Not sure I'm as ready for that. I have no clue where classes are and really dont want to get back into homework. I honestly feel almost like a freshman again not knowing how this school operates and where to find the information I need.

I'm getting excited for Sarah to get here. She is supposed to be 1 week away from getting here. Hopefully the car trouble she just got won't keep her there longer than needed.

This and that

First day of volleyball starts tomorrow. I finally get some use to all the work I've been doing the last couple of weeks.

Wedding plans are coming together. The date and location is set. Now we are just getting our wedding party finalized. Things are coming together quickly.

School starts in a couple of weeks. I'm semi-excited for what grad school will be like and partially not ready for class again.

Fall shows are starting back up which should add some flavor to my schedule.

Only 3 weeks til Sarah gets here. It seems like it's been forever.

Trade Deadline, Staff Outings, and Mizzou Mustache Madness

So the trade deadline came and went yesterday with a flurry of activity. I feel like it was much more than I remember happening in years past. Some seriously big names changed hands yesterday and in the days prior. While the Cardinals didn't make any deals yesterday, they had already made several deals that have been paying off at amazing rates. Holliday, DeRosa, Lugo, and getting rid of Chris Duncan have helped the offense get some life.

I got to see Matt Holliday hit his first home run as a Cardinal the other night. Too bad the boys lost in 10 innings. Still a great time for my first game of the year of what I hope is many more.

So in the last couple days, the Mizzou Sports Medicine staff has had several staff outings. We went golfing (which I was terrible at...it had been so long) and dinner at Houlihan's on Wednesday. Thursday we went to Lake of the Ozarks and went canoeing (I kayaked) for 6 miles down the river. Such a fun day with soooo many funny stories. Yesterday we had an outing at the head athletic trainer's house. It was a good time.

Orientation starts today and runs for the next couple days and is followed by the start of two-a-days. It will be seriously busy. With the start of preseason comes Mizzou Mustache Madness. Every male on staff is growing out their mustache (no beard) until August 24th. This should be fairly gross and semi-creepsterish. We'll see how it goes.

Life is busy but satisfying

So after working 9 straight days of camp starting the day after I moved to Columbia, I finally finished up with camps. However, today was my first day without camp and I went in for football runs at 530 this morning. I had my first day "in the office". It was kindof surreal but I got a lot of work done. I had a good sense of responsibility and accomplishment during the day. It's good. I think I'm going to adjust well.

In my down time, I've been playing a lot of MLB The Show '09. Today I upped my hit streak to 24 games but then snapped it in an awful performance. Other than that, I played some Guitar Hero with my roommate tonight and now we are watching The Passengers. We'll see how it goes.

I dont know if I'll finish it though b/c 530 comes very early tomorrow. I'm out...time to focus.

New place is up and running

Now that I officially have the internet in my apartment, I think I can declare my crib up and running. These first 5 days have been absolutely crazy. I moved in Sunday and started working everyday on Monday. When you work all day, that doesn't leave much time to get things settled in the apartment or get to know the town very well. I know its only been 4 days but I've already done sooo much. Next week, I actually stop the summer work and start working for real. Rumor is saying that it is going to be the women's volleyball team here. I don't officially know but that is the word going around. I'm actually really excited to be able to get everything set up exactly how I want it and have control of my own team. It will be a great learning experience. Time to continue surfing the net on my new wireless setup. I am pumped.
