    Let Summertime Begin

    Sunday, June 8, 2008, 10:37 AM EST [General]

    Though I thought it would never get here, Summer has arrived and is hotter than I expected.  Finished up my Sport Markteting summer class with an A - woop!  Raising my GPA to a 3.636 - excellent!!  sooo I started the Thursday PBA league.  Missed the first week since I was up at school, so I've bowled 2 weeks so far.  First week was generally great.  Won the first one by 1 pin.  Not my proudest moment, struggling in the 10th to win by a pin with a 144.  Then I had to bowl Shawn, but I shot 202 to his 188 and was 2 for 2.  Then I had to bowl this other guy who, I'll be honest, I wasn't a fan of.  He was on my pair the first game and he had no idea what was going on, kept making stupid comments, and had no concept of lane courtesy.  So anyway, he brooklyn's twice in the 10th to beat me 177-169. Me = not happy.  Then I had to bowl Bethan, which made me nervous because, well, it's Bethan.  She split like 5 out of the first 6 frames, so my sparing was enough for a 168 - 139 win, giving me a 3 for 4 night, which isn't bad for me, I'm not that great of a bowler.  So i was PUMPED.

    Since I bowled so well that week, and my grandpa has cabin fever, I asked him and my gramma to come watch, just to get out of the house, and they obliged.  And of course I won 0 games and bowled like absolute poo.  I shot 194 the last game but Terri shot 197.  But I didn't mind losing to her because a) i like her and b) i bowled well.  I know full well that i'm not going to win this league.  I just want to bowl well.  And last game, I did.  So, it's ok.

    Friday night was the pre-cochran and Jason bowled and so did my dad.  So after I picked up my sister from work, I went down to watch and unfortunately got there at the end of the last game.  But Jason made the stepladder so I still got to watch him.  he qualified third and bowled in the second match and won with a 215.  Then he bowled Petzel and lost 192 to 180.  Then we both left cause we had early mornings coming up.

    Saturday's regional was in Pittsburgh so I got to go watch Jason!  I got there at the beginning of the 2nd game and he was plus - barely..  Shot 217 second game, 226 third game, 286 fourth game, 193 fifth game, 144 sixth game, 222 seventh game, and 257 eighth game for plus 147.  He cashed - 21st place.  But if that 144 had been a 175 he'd have made the cut.  But he did great, and I'm so proud of him!

    Starting both my jobs on Monday - tomorrow.  So I should sleep all day.  It would be in my best interest.  See ya!
