World Series

Of course a Bay Area team would make the playoffs the year I move away to college. I have been waiting for the A's or Raiders to come close to the playoffs for years. I haven't had much hope considering the Raiders haven't been able to win more than 5 games in a season since 2002, and the A's can not spend enough money to keep talent on their team. It is not ideal for me that the Giants make it to the world series seeing as I am an A's fan; however, the Giants are across the bay from my team and I am disappointed I am not home to be in the middle of all the comotion.
Back in 2002 when the Giants last made the World Series, my dad was able to get tickets to one of the home games through his company. And even though I was not a Giants fan back then either, it was still amazing to be a part of a world series game. The crowd gets in to the game more than you could imagine. The noise level of the game is amazing, You become a fan of the team in the moment because the feeling is something to different than any other sports game. People go crazy for every hit and every run. Something that seems so minor, like a sacrifice bunt, could become a turning point in a game. I took these things lightly when I lived in the Bay considering I did not have much to look forward to in any season. But now that one of the Bay Area teams is in the playoffs, I wish I could be experiencing what I had taken for granite 8 years ago when I was at the last World Series a Bay Area team was in.

Managin Time

I never really understood that there would be so much free time in college. I always had this idea that it was kinda like high school but a lot more busy, but as I am getting more and more acclimated to the college lifestyle, I am beginning to realize it is nothing like high school at all. High school was pretty much the same thing every day. You got to the same classes, talk to the same people, talk about the same things blah blah blah. College is the same in the social sense, however your schedule varies from day to day. Some days you have a ton of free time, and some days you have almost none.
I don't know what to do with myself on some of the days that I have a ton of free time. If was at home, I would most likely be outside getting exercise or playing sports. However, in college I have become lazy as ever. The walk to the gym seems amazingly long, and I just tend to spend a lot of time hanging out with my friends in the dorms.  I am not complaining, believe me I haven't had a lot of time to just sit an relax in the past couple of years with all of the sports and extracurricular activities I participated in. But I am also not used to being so inactive.
I need to find a way to motivate myself to go to the gym and get active or I will never be ready for summer baseball, or club baseball for that matter

Pre Cal

Pre-Calculus is the hardest class I have ever taken in my life. I have never been extraordinary at math, I've always been in the middle of the pack getting B's or B+'s. But this course is making it hard for me to pull out a low C on a curve. I do not understand almost everything the teacher says, it seems like he's speaking a different language. I wouldn't be taking the class if it was not a requirement for my major, and the problem with this class being required for my major is that I have to take two more higher level math classes after pre-cal. It is making me question whether or not i should change my major. It is the only class that is an issue, and it starting to become a large issue.

My friend who is in the class with me, helps me study, but it doesn't matter how much i study. I understand the information the night we study, but as soon as a quiz or test comes up, I freeze and forget all of the information i studied. My biggest worry was that my parents would be mad at me for getting such bad grades in the class, but i explained my position and they were very understanding. My dad was not very good at math when he was in college so he really understands and wasn't freaking out too much.

I'm hoping to bring my grade high enough to pass the class by a good margin, but I'lle be happy with any passing grade
