1.. I can't talk
2.. Im am sore all over 
3. Alexis Souhlaris is my hero...

Just so everyone knows 

I am in Conway South Carolina it's about 50 degrees outside.. not as nice as most people were thinking.. but we deal at least it's not 30.. 

I have found that every-time we go to a hotel the one thing that it always has is internet. I believe this is because us as "student-athletes" always need to be able to be connected to our school work, and thanks to modern day technology this is possible for us to do one the road. and honestly, I know our team in particular takes academics very seriously!

Im just so excited right now though, as a team we did well today.. we got in last night at like 230 in the morning and we had to leave here at like 10 so we had really like no sleep cause we had to be up and dressed by like 9:15.. i'm sure lex will write a novel about todays game. Hmmmm can i write about technology in general or does it have to be in the classroom? 

well one of the things that makes out job as softball players on the field is the scoreboard. it is a very large piece of importantness usually out in right or left field. It tells you everything! who's up, the pitch count, the inning and of course whether you are winning or losing... this particular scoreboard in South Carolina however is somewhat nice, not only does it do all of the above but it also tells the batters average up to this point their number, their at bats, their positions, SO much stuff that you usually dont see.. this makes out life easier in the outfield because think about it. when you see a girl who is hitting .100 as opposed to a girl that is hitting closer to .400 you can make adjustments accordingly.. whereas if you have no idea you basically just have to chose whether you think she is going to hit the ball hard or not. and that sometimes is a hard thing to do! 

anwyays I need to get back to actually doing study hall. 
Maybe you'll get another post tommorow!

I fixed it!
Sorry for the post below but I wrote this amazing blog.. and you know what happened?
technology messed it all up!
AGAIN..
I was getting frusterated in writing in Hindu and for the longest time I couldn't figure out how to change it. Now i figured it out and am speaking to you in a tongue much more familiar to me and most likely you. considering hindu is an unusual language for one to know out of high school.

SO technology in my field, ummm not sure if there is alot.
so far in my life I have had one job, In that job i was a landscaper. I cut grass, laid interlock, placed Sod, you know all the stuff that any normal athlete who likest the outdoors woudl do. honestly I think that working for the municipal government of Canada would be an awesome job. in order for me to accomplish working at all however I need to hand in resumes. being canadian and unable to travel back and forth from weekend to weekend, also knowing that I wont be home until May it is hard for me to hand in those resumes in order for me to acutally do what I want to do. Students that go to school in canada have it easy. They get everything. Jobs are basically handed to them. Most students in Canada get out at the end of April where in the states out schools finish mid May. by the time I go home and start placing resumes virtually every summer job already has 3 different students and then some fighting for the spot. I just find that I get gyped out of a summer job mostly every year.
Funny story the only reason I got mine was becuase I walked up to the boss and said i would like to work here and i could do just as good if not better then the people you have working here right now. I got an interview and within that week I was making just as much as the long - time employees and I also had most of the harder labor jobs, (meaning my boss trusted me) (I got to ride the tractor.. "she thinks my tractors sexy!") haha
anwyays those are just some of my insights to technology on my summer job hunt.

Happy hunting!

Hello to all my Blog-Followers
This past weekend The University of Maine Softball team travelled to Tennessee. Despite our losing record I feel that we accomplished a-lot of growing as a team, which is one of the main reasons we have a "preconference" schedule. 
Anyways, being in Tennessee with the only communication to the outside world was through technology I found out just how much we all depend on it while away. I was able to check my online courses, check out pictures and of course facebook while in Tennessee miles from here.
Anyways I will see you all later, I need to take a nap. 
bye

That is my name don't wear it out!
I guess I was supposed to write in this a little while ago but like most I guess i forgot.. so you get what you get in this busy world. 
Technology in my life this week: 
Screwed me. 
How? 
let me explain.. in little detail.. it involves a boy, a girl and craigslist. 
Enough said. 

Sometimes I just wish it wasn't that simple to use. Make things harder so the computer illiterate can't make things suck. 
That's how I feel abut technology today..

actaully no.
Rockband is awesome
