This week has pretty crazy with all my sporting events. This Monday was the start of summer slow pitch softball league or what many refer to as bar league softball. This week was also the last week of intermurals. Starting on Monday it was about to be a crazy week. Monday I had the volleyball intermural tournament. My team went undefeated the whole season so we were ready for teams to take out revenge on us. The first game we started off a little bit slow, at one point we were possibly down by ten. We then pulled ourselves together and came back and won that game and our next one. After that we had a little break since a team forfeited and we had to watch one game before our championship game. We ended up losing but we definitely shouldn't have, we got ripped off. I was supposed to have my first softball game on Monday but I couldn't make it because we kept winning in volleyball. My softball team ended up winning anyways even though they were short one player. Tuesday was the start of the all women's team I play on. I couldn't find my cleats so I decided on a pair of tennis shoes. Big mistake! I hit the ball and was running from second to third and I slipped and completely wiped out. After I realized the ball was getting thrown to second I quick scrambled my way through the dirt back onto second base and was safe. We ended up losing but we played one of the better teams in the league. Wednesday I had my other women's team play and we ended up winning. One of the girls on my team got hit in the mouth by a ball that took a bad hop. Her lip was split pretty good and most people thought she should go have a stitch put in. After the softball game on Wednesday I had to go and play in the basketball intermurals tournament. We lost in the first round though so it wasn't too long of a night. Today, Thursday, I had the night off and didn't have any sporting events to play in. I did end up watching a men's team play though. Tomorrow I have another softball game for my coed team. Hopefully we will win!

Another week is pretty much over and Easter is coming up on Sunday. Unfortunately I have to work this weekend so I won't get to go out of town to my aunt and uncle's house in Stevens Point. I also was going to attend an easter egg hunt and a candy hunt with my younger cousins but won't be able to since I will be working. I remember when I was younger I used to go to Copeland Park in La Crosse on the easter candy hunt. All the kids and their parents got there early so you could line up on the outside of the rope and wait for them to blow the whistle and you could go. You tried to gather as much candy and items as fast as you could before all the other kids got it. After the candy race you got a raffle ticket. You then waited in hopes of getting your ticket drawn to win big fun prizes. I once won a big wheel and that was the end of my winning streak. I'm not a very lucky person so winning even once was amazing to me. I am kind of sad I won't get to now go and watch my little cousins participate in an event that I enjoyed every year. Hopefully my grandma will make a tasty meal for me to enjoy after I am done working this weekend.

Another week has come and pretty much gone...the days are just flying by it seems. I can't believe it is April already. One interesting thing that I did this week was apply for my passport. This was very interesting and exciting for me. It was a little crazy because I really needed to get my passport for my trip thats coming up in May and the passport takes about a month in order to get back so I needed to apply soon so I would have enough time to get it back. At first I didn't have my real birth certificate only copied ones. I thought that I was going to somehow have to go to Madison, since this is where I was born, and get my birth certificate. Luckily, my grandpa said he had the real one so I did not have to go and get it. After I got my real birth certificate I had to go back down to the post office and submit my papers, pictures, and payment for my passport. This was really exciting because it made my trip seem so real and so close. I have only been out of the country once and that was to Mexico. When I went to Mexico you didn't need a passport so I have never had one before. One thing I did not know about passports was about the picture you had to take. I had no idea that you could not smile or show teeth or anything. I was standing by the white background ready for my picture and they informed me I could not smile. This threw me off guard and I could no longer keep a straight face. When someone tells you not to smile it is hard to do as they tell you. The first picture I was smirking a little bit so we decided to take another picture and settled with that one. Let me just add that no smiling pictures are not very attractive! I will just be happy to finally get mine back for my trip.
