Back at Home

My friend Shelly gave her friend Alexandria and I rides home to NJ today. I thought we were going to leave at around 3, but she called at 1:30 and I had to scramble to get packed and finish a paper I was doing last minute. I made her wait a little longer than she might have liked, but she's a good friend and didn't really mind too much. We hit the road around 2:30, in the midst of a light rain storm.

Central NJ, where we're from, is about five hours away by car, but the way Shelly was driving, we got home in about four hours of driving, though we did stop to get something to eat. My dad picked me up at Shelly's house, because I live about 25 minutes further from school than she does.

I've been so busy lately, with a ton of side projects that are starting to eat up my school work time, which isn't good at all. I'm busy managing my Mets' website, www.flushingsfuture.com, which I'm hoping gets me an internship with the team for next summer. I have been talking to people with the team all summer, and it seems are going to come to a head in November when I have my first interview with them.

I really just need to relax, because I know more about baseball, specifically Mets baseball as well as the complex world organizational management (such as player development, signings, trades etc), than just about any other kid my age. I could probably compete with most writers. I don't want to start getting all nervous for no reason and blow my chance to get my foot in the door of my dream world.

I'm also in the midst of working on another special project, but I'm going to hold back on mentioning it until I really begin to make some big progress on it. This one will be of particular interest to the IST community here at Syracuse.

Well, I'm going to go play with my baby niece Itsabel. I'll post again soon.
