Not for,but not Against

Well took a 19 hour break from school and made it my spring break. Didn't get to really have a break with all the events that happened during last week, but i made the most of those hours and i hated to leave. Mom and Dad picked me up and then we made the drive to Tuscaloosa where we would watch Bama take on Georgia State, where the best friend is a freshmen pitcher for GSU. She didn't know that i was going to come so i surprised her and it was exciting to see her get the start against the defending national champions. It was weird to be sitting in the stands cheering for her and not be on the field or in the dugout cheering for her. In the first inning she got 2 out of the 3 outs being strike outs and they both were by two well known Alabama people! We were so ecstatic when she got both of those! This would be the first time i wasn't cheering for Alabama but wasn't cheering against them either. It was great ti be able to see friends that got to school there and catch up with them. Then STeve and Julie Kay Brown was there with their family and we stayed the night with them in their condo. But before the game thanks to John Lowe and his connections we were able to take a tour of the new field house and I was able to see the National Championship trophies and all the others the locker room, training room, and the indoor batting cage. Then when we were leaving we saw Jackie Traina warming up like arms reach from me and met one of Bamas all american players Stephanie Vanbrakle who is now the pitching coach! It was a great short break and i wish that i was able to go back with mom and dad this weekend as they watch more softball and basketball and relax, but reality of school is keeping me away. Would be great to step back and have a break but guess its just not meant to be. Well quote is "Tough times don't last but Tough people do!"
