Day Two at Home

Well, it's a little bit strange being home. Although I came home two weeks ago, that was really just to attend the two championship series games that the minor league team that I work for was playing in. Now, I'm part of my family again, and if you knew my family, that's strange in itself. But it's wierd seeing life go on without you. Even though I knew to expect it, given I'm a sophomore, I still feel a bit like a ghost.

I worked late into the night on a new scouting report for FlushingsFuture.com. I'm starting my top 25 prospect scouting report countdown now so that when I interview for an internship with the team in November, I'll have them all done and ready to present to them in a portfolio. Every day I get more and more nervous about the interview. This is my big chance, and I don't want to blow it.

I've also continued working on my top secret computer project. I was up until about 5 am working to fix the problems we were having with the server. I talked all night with this guy whose name I don't even know. He owns some small hosting companies, and was helpful in fixing the problems with our setup.

My friend Alex is coming home tonight, so I'm looking forward to seeing him for the first time in nearly two months. We're best friends, having known each other since elementary school, so it shouldn't be too weird. Tomorrow, I'll probably get to see my other best friend, Steve, who goes to NYU. I'll probably just go into the city, which is only about 25 minutes from my house.

So, I was watching the ALCS last night, and I remain baffled by the non-call by the umpire on the AJ Pierzynski strikeout. It would be one thing if he had clearly stated that the ball hit the ground, but he didn't. In fact, he called him out. Then reversed his own right call with a horrible butchery of a call that allowed AJ to go to first. A pinch runner's stolen base and a Joe Crede double later, and the series was 1-1 going back to Anaheim. I want to root for the White Sox, but it's really hard to at this point, especially after they beat the Red Sox, whom are my second team.
