The worst thing that could have happened here happened, my computer broke. Well, to be exact, the monitor stopped working. It is a devastating lose, and explains my recent absence from the blog. I am currently using my roommates computer to let everybody know the situation. Hopefully, I will have a new one soon and can continue writing and telling everybody what is going on.
I'm sure your wondering about this weekend. We went down to Viterbo, and destroyed them in two games. We scored a total of 28 runs. The pitching was good, and the offense was better. It was a frustrating weekend for me, however. In the first game I went 3 for 6 with a couple of rbis. The next game I went 0 for 2 with two sac flies and a hit by pitch. This game was aggravating. Every ball I hit, and I mean every one, I hit hard. They were either lined at somebody, or I got robbed. What could have been a 4 for 4 day with God knows how many rbis turned into an 0-fer day. Goes to show you how this game can humble you. My teammates took pleasure in my misfortunes, and made sure to let me know about it. It was all in good fun, and I took solice in knowing I hit the ball hard. I will be waiting for my opportunity to get them back, though. Don't you worry about that.
In order to compensate for lack of my computer, I have been keeping myself busy doing things around the town, around the apartment, working out, and reading. It's been a nice change of pace. This "no power" thing that I have been going thru is starting to annoy me, so I am trying a different workout in the gym with my teammate Paul. Hopefully it translates into a couple more feet of travel on the baseball. My roommate and I are contimplating enrolling in a language school here, called Reggio Lingua. They take students from around the world and teach them Italian. We met with the lady yesterday, and she was a pleasure to talk to. She was very helpful, and told us what the class would entail. We even took a placement test. I can't say I did amazing on it, but I definitely did better than I originally thought I would. I am almost certain we will join the class, which is 3 days a week for 3 hours. Should really help with our experience here.
Today is my teammates Taka's birthday. This Friday, we are spending a full day celebrating. We are heading to the amusement park near Milan for the day, and then going to Happy Hour, and finishing up at a restaurant Taka claims to be "amazing". It should turn out to be a great time. The group of friends he hangs out with is nothing but nice and welcoming. It's definitely refreshing to be accepted by a group. Anyway, I hope I can solve this computer situation out soon, and be back to regularly writing blogs. Don't worry, I didn't forget about you or get lazy. Hope you have a great day and rest of the week!
