Thursday, October 21, 2021  Making the Spring Baseball Team On Tuesday, October 19th, I had an exit meeting for fall baseball for Purdue University Northwest. It was a quick five minute meeting, but it had me on the balls of my feet. I was so anxious as to whether or not I had made the Spring baseball team. Coach Dave said he was only taking 35 for the whole Spring, but only 20-25 for the travel roster. When coach had called me in at 9:15 a.m. I was starting to get very nervous if I had made both the spring team and the travel roster.

Wednesday, October 13, 2021 Documentary Project Reflection Questions  1. Was there a specific scene that got to you? Describe and explain how it moved you (Angry? Curious? Delighted? Motivated?).

 Monday, October 4, 2021     Birthday Week Last week Friday, October 1, 2021 was my birthday. I was expecting a big weekend going out with friends and having a good time. I ended up doing absolutely nothing. I relaxed all day in bed and did not do a thing. I went out with friends on Saturday, but Friday I did not. I just turned nineteen years old and it felt like another day. I don't feel any older than before which is a good thing. My body just needed a break from everything and it got a nice break on Friday.  I watched the show Squid Games and it is one of the best shows I've ever seen. The action that is within it is unbelievable and I am very happy that this show came out, but I need more episodes because I already watched all of them! I am not a big television person either. I do not watch anything unless it is NFL games or when I am very bored. But this show is had me hooked and I could not stop watching it. By far one of my top three shows that I have ever watched.  Last
