"if it was warmer it wouldn't be as cold"... duh

An update on unemployment: I have finally recieved notice that my transcipts are complete, so that means I get to mail in a transcript request form along with $5 and I will get ONE transcipt. Like, my parents already shelled out over 100,00 bucks for me to go to school and I can't even get one lousy complimentary trancript sent to my house or something?? The real world is basically trying to keep me from getting to the real world because those $5 were going to be the start of my life savings. But once I get my transcripts I can have interviews which means I can potentially have a job. or two. or three.


Aside from that, I spent all day yesterday with one of my goodest friend ever.  We went out to lunch and hung out on her trampoline.  Jumping on it gives us motion sickness in our old age, but we still feel pretty adventurous sitting on it.  Then I spent all day today sitting in a chair watching tv, realizing how obese I will be if I do this forever and decided to run. I should have just stayed in the chair because that run suuuuuucked. Then I topped off the day by going out to dinner, catching a Sea Dogs baseball game and watching fireworks with my cousin, aunt and nephew. 



The game was less than packed due to crappy wheather.  It's almost July and we were wearing multiple layers, going numb and drinking hot chocolate. (Mainers are unfamiliar with the idea of "summer"). We snagged 3rd base front row seats where we casually chatted up the 3rd base coaches and tried to talk to the 3rd baseman.  We were right next to the dugout, too, and evertime they ran by we tried to start some small talk but they obviously ignored us.  I mean, we were the only people in the ENTIRE area and we were wearing bright orange and yellow ponchos.  There's no way we blended in with the crowd and they didn't notice us. Rude. I asked some of them to find me on facebook- I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the players heard me and not some old guy 10 rows back.  By the  end of the game we knew most players names' and shouted out our expertise advise.  Most of the time they had a GREAT swing, but just needed to hit the ball. Clearly I know what I'm talking about. We tried so hard to get on the jumbo screen and to be honest I don't know how we didn't make it because there were no more than 20 people in our section and I was waving an orange poncho above my head. It's not like Fenway Park or anything... FIND ME!... seriously Hadlock Field?? How can I not be the superfan of the game? On a brighter note: The fireworks lasted 15 minutes and were surprisingly better than any 4th of July fireworks I've seen.
