A lot has happened since I last posted on this blog. But not really. Eight months have passed since I returned from the Olympics and I'm back to being an average college student 25 days from graduation.
I got into all four graduate schools I applied to...each one in a different corner of the United States. I'm sure my family was thrilled about the prospect of me moving 2000 miles away from home. But I'm tired of the cold weather and I need a change of scenery. If Boston had summer weather year round, I'd never leave. Boston in the summertime is a wicked pissah.
I've been spending a lot of time contemplating what this blog will be about. My life is not nearly interesting enough to enthrall throngs of readers, so I'll probably focus more on Boston sports (Sox, Bruins, Celtics, Pats, etc.) and give you my brilliant daily/weekly take on those teams. I'm the next Bill Simmons. Not. I just a 22 year old sports nut with a journalism degree and no job. And I'm a firm believer in getting more knowledgable women into this field. I take great pride in showing men up in sports trivia. Is that why I don't have a boyfriend?
Sox are rolling as of late but much like every year I was disappointed in their less than stellar start. Ortiz always begins slow, but notice how he went opposite field twice yesterday in the first game of the doubleheader, a sure sign his bat is coming around.
Brad Penny may have won the night cap...but I'm still not impressed. Maybe I'm bitter my boy Bucholz is stuck in Pawtucket. I know Penny is money (haha) but let's not bow down before him because he threw six innings and gave up two earned runs. He needs 15 wins this season to gain my trust.
As for the Celtics, the loss of Leon Powe is really going to hurt. We're down to three solid big men and wasteful thinking that Doc is playing mind games with us and Garnett will return any day now...please? A far cry from reality.
I'm not worried about the Patriots on Draft Day. Remember two years ago when everyone was up in arms that Belicheck traded away a second and fourth-round pick? Oh that's right, we got Randy Moss and Wes Welker in return. Let the most brilliant man in football work in peace please. In Belicheck we trust.
Predictions for the week:
Celts defeat Bulls in 7...despite the fact D. Rose is the new MJ.
Sox sweep Yanks over the beautiful and warm weekend (brawls may ensue)
Bruins = La Coupe Stanley.
Patriots = Tom and Gisele double date with Youk and gold-digging wife.
