ACC Baseball

This is my 3rd day off out of four this weekend. I’m taking Tuesday off because I’m way ahead on completing my 1700 hours before July 29th. So I’m going to play golf tomorrow. I was at the beach today and there were some serious waves. The water temp is already 80 degrees. Just where it has to be for hurricane season to start (Thurs. June 1).

I went to the ACC baseball tourney a couples times this past week. I saw GTech play Miami and Clemson play Wake Forest on Wednesday night. GTech and Clemson won that night. On Saturday morning I headed over to watch Florida State play NC State in the first game. As I was walking up to the ticket window a girl asked if I needed a ticket and she gave me one for free. When I walked inside to find my seat the usher led me to the second row behind the screen right next to the FSU dugout. Not that I’m complaining but FSU is the only school that would have two hot female batgirls sitting right in the dugout during games. No wonder they lost so many games this year. Anyway, my great seat was in the sun and it was 95 degrees out with no breeze at field level. So I only stayed in those seats for a couple innings before taking cover in the shade. FSU beat NC State in game one and they let people re-enter so I headed home for lunch and some A/C. I really wanted to see game 2 which was #1 seed Clemson against GTech. Clemson was up two going into the bottom of the ninth and blew it. Tech ended up winning in the 10th. All the games were really good and the players didn’t complain half as much as the losers on the SVSU team I played on in college. I realized this weekend how much good sports they have here given the lack of pro sports other than the Jags. We had three big college football games, the first round of the basketball tourney, the TPC, and now college baseball. I didn’t expect that when I came here.

I saw Phantom of the Opera last night with Heather (CyberGirl). It was a really good show. I liked it better than Les Mis which I saw last year. I was a little disappointed that the chandelier didn’t fall on anyone in the crowd. If you want the story on me and Heather I’ll make it quick. After we first went out I told her that I just wanted to be friends because I was in negotiation with you know who about going out with her. Well, I asked Heather if she wanted to date-date last night and let’s just say I’ll be flying solo at least through the rest of the summer. It wasn’t an outright rejection because she is seeing some other dude now. At least now I can just focus on finishing my hours and taking my trip in August. I might even start looking into some job opportunities in Chi-town. But maybe not.

I hope everyone had an enjoyable holiday weekend.

Maybe I'll get to the mini-golf next time. Sorry.
