Good practice today

Well I'm not playing AAA this year for the Chatham Junior Ironmen, I got cut so i'll be playing in Chatham head this summer playing Intermediate (which is what I played the past two seasons).

It should be an interesting season, we are going with a very young team, I think the average age of our team will be 20, with me being the 5th or 6th oldest on a team of about 16 players.

We have some good guys there so we should be fine, I can see us stealing a few games here and there.

First off at practice today we had a catch, then we broke into two groups and took ground balls, now mind you i'm an outfielder so it's always a strugle when I we do ground balls, because the ball is usually in the air or rolling slowly when the ball gets hit to us.

Did ok with the GB's so we moved on to the next drill that was hitting balls to the outfielders which I did good, my arm has improved and my throwing is much better.

After that we did hitting, i'm not the most powerfull hitter, but I always hit for average which means I usually make contact and get quite a few singles.

It was just a batting practice so someone just threw about 20 balls at you and then you'd hit them.
I hit about 1/2 of them up the middle, and solid too.

The regular season starts next week, i'm looking forward to it.

Practicum is going good, can't wait for it to be over though.

First Week of practicum in the books!

Things got off to a bit of a rocky start on Monday.

I had to go in for work at 9, but I accidentally sent my alarm for 730pm and not am so I was late for work n my first day, but I called before my shift started so things turned out ok.

Second day my alarm didn't come on but I woke up and make it to work on time. I know have a new alarm clock that I havn't had any trouble with.

The week went really well and I got alot of compliments on my articles this week too.

I had baseball tryouts on Monday night, what a disaster that was.

There was still snow along the fence in centre field, it was windy and cold too.

I don't have the best arm and the wind was blowing in my face so I had to throw the ball harder than I usually would to reach the person so i wounded up having a sore shoulder for the next two days.

To make matters worse, I hurt both my knees running for fly balls, but they are a bit better today so I should be good for Sunday afternoon.I hope anyways.

Hope everyone is enjoying their practicums.

Practicum starts tomorrow

It's been well over two weeks since I've written my last blog.

It's been a fairly good two weeks.

I did really good this year with school, which suprised me, because I didn't expect to do so well this year after struggling so much last year.

I start tomorrow at the Miramichi Leader, i'm looking forward to it. I also have baseball tryouts tomorrow night at 6:30.

I don't know how that's going to go, but i'm going t give it a shot.

Big day tomorrow, can't wait to get things started!

Doc update

I have over 9 minutes on my timeline for my tv doc, which suprised me since I didn't think i could have done so much work in so little time.

All I really have to do is add a few more clips and some effects and i'm done.

I still haven't put my IJ assignment in Windows Movie Maker yet, but I should be able to finish it today, if not, for sure by tomorrow. Well I don't really have a choice to finish it by tomorrow since tomorrow is the due date.

Tired today, and I don't feel like working on stuff, but ya gotta do what ya gotta do.

Second last blong of the year....

Well the school year is going right down to the wire now! I can't beleive how fast the year has gone by.

It feel like just yesterday we were starting our second year of journalism and I was wondering how the hell I was going to pass anything since I had such a hard time last year.

But I guess all those extra long hours at school and working my ass off worked out pretty good for me.

I know i'm brutal at blogging, but I try.

Back in the stock

Just got back in Woodstock around 9 pm, just relaxing watching the Sens game, which they are losing and that spells the end of the season for them.

The Timberwolves are done too, after losing 5-4 to Summerside, they lost the series 4-0. It was really tough to watch.

It's difficult watching a bunch of guys work their asses off all season long and lose this way, but.... that's the way she goes.

Looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow, good night.

Weird....

All day today I felt kinda blah, for what reason, I don't know. It must be just one of those days I guess.

I went to school around 12-1230 and worked a bit on my doc, but didn't do very much. I did make myself a bit of an intro but found myself getting frustrated and distracted, so I went home.

When I got hom, I played a countless amount of NHL 09 on my x box and went to the gym around 7.

After coming home from the gym, I got this sudden burst of energy and decided to go and work on my doc.

I worked on my doc from about 8:50pm to 10pm and I now have close to 2 minutes on the timeline and that's just by using a small part of a 10 minute interview, so things are looking up so far.

I'm heading home in the morning and returning on Monday, just to relax and clear my head a bit. No school work or anything.

I have my interview set up next week for my Multimedia piece so things are looking good for the end of the year.
