My first song I was really timid. My second, however, I picked something I knew everyone would know and sing along to — build me up buttercup — and just belted it. Totally awesome.

Standing triple?
21 months ago
I hit a standing triple over the outfielder’s head at last week’s softball game. If I were faster, it would have easily been a homer. So, I guess I need to work on my running skills. It was still a nice hit.
Looking back
21 months ago
I finished the scrapbook this summer, only about six months post-graduation. Already flipping through it brings back smiles and memories. I’m glad I did it while these were still fresh, so in the future I can look back on the awesome times I had and the friends I now have scattered across the country.
