Facebook Hiatus Day #7

It has been seven days since I have signed off Facebook. I still don't have that temptation of going to check what's going on people's minds. I feel like I am getting things done which I would always have before until the last minute in the past.

My research paper I just finished for example. Yeah, I finished it just now and it's due tomorrow at 9:15 a.m. but in the past, I would be on Facebook, clicking on the refresh and home button to check what was going on every second in people lives, which time would fly by within a blink of an eye. I would have probably been not even half way through right now. But I got a head start on this paper and I feel really confident about it. I also took time to go to my professors office to go get it revised. I also found out that I received an A in one of my Journalism classes I'm taking this semester.

I think being signed off Facebook has been a good sign for me lately and everything seems to be falling in place because of it. For those you don't know, I haven't been accepted into any colleges yet. Until yesterday I got a letter from the University of Oregon saying that I got accepted in there. So there you go ladies and gentlemen, I have a opportunity to be a Duck. I have yet to hear from Hawaii and I hope I get in there too so I would have options.



I also received a recruit letter from the Mount Mercy University in Iowa to maybe play baseball out there. I'm pretty excited that I got something from somewhere to play ball.

Now comes the hard part. If I got the chance to play baseball, would I choose to go to Iowa? Or would I choose to go to Oregon to have the time of my life? I most likely choose to go to the school in Iowa because when am I going to have a chance to play competitive baseball ever again? Some people told me that I should go play because you might not have another opportunity and do it while I am young.

This week is somewhat bitter-sweet. First, my main man JT came home from Virginia and John Hein came home from North Carolina. It was all fun when we were hanging out on the weekend but then 3 of my teammates I became brothers with, Vop, Cooper and Pulido, are leaving to play summer ball this week. Vop and Cooper are going to Pennsylvania and Puldio is going to Washington. It makes me kind of sad but they are doing it big some place else. And speaking of doing big things, I want to Congratulate Kellen Moen for being picked by the Kansas City Royals in the 7th round of the MLB Draft.

The only thing in my way from summer is turning in this research paper and a geology final on friday. I cant wait until this summer.
