NY Mets 2006 NL East Champions!!
I believe in the church of baseball. I've tried all the major religions and most of the minor ones.I've worshipped Buddha, Allah, Brahma, Vishnu, Siva, trees, mushrooms and Isadora Duncan. I know things. For instance, there are 108 beads in a Catholic's rosary and there are 108 stitches in a baseball. When I learned that, I gave Jesus a chance. But it just didn't work out between us. The Lord laid too much guilt on me. I prefer metaphysics to theology. You see, there's no guilt in baseball. And it's never boring, which makes it like sex...It's a long season and you gotta trust it. I've tried them all, I really have, and the only church that truly feeds the soul, day in, day out, is the church of baseball - Annie Savoy Bull Durham

done!
still hasn't sunk in yet. i still feel the pressure of "what do i have due tomorrow??" hanging over my head. but i am finished.
this semester was tough, but i will miss the snarky back corner of 18th c lit, my ind study/duet playing sessions with j, and yes, even backhair guy. i will not miss teeth clamping ignorant astronomy guy, but hey, every semester has at least one you would like to forget.
i am now officially worried about applications and tests. but i am going to take a week or two off to relax and play and read something just for fun!
and i am going to go sip a smirnoff twisted green apple and listen to the mets.
it's summer for me.
