Hmm.....

I went to softball scrimmage last night. We won. The score was 15-12. It was a really good game. I think this is one of the teams that we are gonna have to worry about when the season starts and we start playing real games. I kept the books for most of the night last night, but I don't think that I'm gonna do it for the whole season. It is so confusing. It will be easy once I get the hang of it, but it will take me half the season to get it, literally half the season. There is just so much info and short cuts that I have to learn that it gets confusing when you are trying to keep up with the game like who hit to who, who got out, and/or who got a run, and at the same time trying to keep the score up to let everyone know and let the coach know what the other team hit like. UGH!! It is not as easy as it everyone said it was. It is mind-boggling.

I have another speech to do for my Public Speaking class. We are studing specialized communications in there, like what others countries cultures are and how they act and what the United States' cultures and subcultures are. It is amazing to hear and read what about different countries. But, for out speech, my teach told us to choose a country and explain some things about them. For example, I chose Italy. I am going to research the religion (of course, I'm curious about that!! lol), language, values/attitudes, and culture shock/activities. I think that this a great way to get people outside of their little box and see that there is more than just the United States, there's still the rest of the world out there. These people don't know what kind of job they might have, they might have a boss from Africa and they will need to know some basic African culture so they won't offend him/her. I am not saying that all the people that live around here (North Carolina) are like that, but most of them are. I know that I'm like this b/c I have traveled all over the country b/c my dad was in the Air Force, but I just can't imagine not going outside my state for my whole life. I know people, people that I go to school with, that have never been outside of NC, and if they have been outside NC, they have been barely over the boarder to SC or VA. I partly blame the parents for raising children like that. No one should ever grow up and not go out side the state.

Well, I need to go study! Tata!
