My summer is going to be busier than my school year. Don’t get me wrong, I am looking forward to summer just like everybody else, I can’t wait until I don’t have to come to school (to learn) everyday. But that doesn’t mean that I won’t be doing anything. I decided to give up baseball (I will talk about that I another post), but my summer will still be full. I am not a lazy couch potato, but every-so-often I will take my breaks.
Baseball is that sport that takes up the most time. So I worked out some numbers here (baseball is all about numbers, most of the coaches are math teachers): In one day, we spend more time doing baseball related activities then we would at school. We spend 1 hour lifting, 2 hours at batting practice, 4 hours (or more) playing a double header, then 1 hour with after game running and field cleanup- totaling 7 hours of baseball in one day. The school day is only 6.75 hours, with almost an hour of that going to lunch and passing time.
So with all of this extra time, I don’t know what to do with myself. Actually that is a complete lie. I will wake up at 6:15 every weekday to get to school for 6:30 football lifting and running. Then I will go straight to basketball workouts at 8:30, and then stay after it’s over to get extra shots up. Then after that I will go home and take a nap, only to be woken up by my dad who either wants me to mow the lawn or go on a bike ride with him, so I begrudgingly do either (actually I enjoy bike rides, but I loath mowing the lawn, so it balances out). Fun day right?
To me it is. I will enjoy my summer if everyday is like that. But the sad thing is that everyday is not a weekday. I think that every weekend I have a basketball tournament. Literally every weekend. If I don’t have one with my school team, my AAU team fills in the gap. My AAU team also takes up two weeks with two separate week long tournaments. I am also going to lose a weekend going to San Antonio for a family reunion (this will be the most fun time of the summer, whoooooo!!!! 6 Flags!). Along with football camps that I would like to go to, this is going to be a full summer, even without baseball.
