Return from March adventures!
Phew, glad March is over with, I'm exhausted!
I've returned to Smith and am recovering from adventures all across the country, from Boston to Florida, California.
I went to my first Boston St. Patrick's Day Parade (I've never really celebrated it, not being Irish and all...), which was a lot of fun. Then I went to a
RED SOX SPRING TRAINING GAME in Fort Meyers, FL, we beat the Twins 6-5 (although we were up 6-0 at one point, but thats the Sox for you!). The park is so small, you get to be really close to the field, and the players no matter where you are, so I was psyched! Note the palm trees in the back of the picture! I also got a good shot of Papi in his classic batting stance. Other notes: I saw the back of Dice-K's head and Lowell hit a solo shot homerun, the only one of the game. I was super psyched! See him in the far left corner watching Papi at bat? Standing next to Okaji? Ok, I have a zoomed in picture too, if you can't
see him.
Then, I jetsetted off to California for something very secret and exciting (you can email me if you don't know what I am talking about, but I'm sure you do know) that I think I should not be posting on my blog. Well, lets just say it was AMAZING, but I was not allowed to take any pictures.
Then I got back to school, but the excitement wasn't done yet. On Thursday, Valentino Achak Deng came to talk at Smith before about 30
people. I was there and shook his hand twice and tried to talk to him without gushing. If you don't know who Valentino is, you should read his biography, What is the What by Dave Eggers, it is unforgetable.
