IT WAS SO COLD OMG!!!! I had SO much fun yesterday! Like, who knew softball could actually be fun? Granted I was freezing my butt off most of the time, but when I actually got out on the field I totally forgot about being cold. We were out there from the beginning of fourth period to the end of sixth period.. My homeroom class didn't have to play until like 12:30 so I basically just sat there watching the rest of the homeroom classes play against each other for hours, but I was with all of my friends so it was fun, but it really was cold. Some girls still wore Nike shorts, but I didn't, thank freakin God. So after lunch was over the next two homerooms played against each other and when they finished it was my homerooms turn to go out onto the field so we all left the bleachers and made our way to the dug out. I didn't want to be on any base because if the ball came towards me I'd probably get hit in the face so I signed up for batting. Two people actually did get hit in the head with the ball and I didn't want that to happen to me... I was really nervous okay, everyone was out there and I was afraid I'd embarrass myself. I was almost a hundred percent sure I'd strike out, BUT I DIDN'T!!!! I was shaking too.. Before my friend who was batting got done I went out there to pick a bat and got someone to show me how to hold it right, so I practiced swinging. Pretty simple.. I ended up not using that bat, I just took the one my friend was using. It was lighter.. I went out there and I swear almost everyone on the bleachers started screaming my name and cheering me on. And while I was down there I heard one of my best friends yell, "THATS MY MEXICAN!!!" It was funny. And when I got there, before I batted I was goofing off with my friends that were on the field with me. The guy behind me was all like, "oh snap, okay I see you Mexican." And I was laughing and then I was talking with the pitcher saying stuff like, "take it easy on me, I'm sensitive!" And she just laughed and was like, "okay I will." The guy behind me had to position me though cause I was standing right on the plate and I didn't know you weren't supposed to do that cause I've never played softball or anything so he had to move me back and I thanked him or what ever.. I blacked out. I don't remember anything. All I know is that I got ready to hit the ball. I positioned the bat where it was supposed to and tried to focus on nothing but the ball. At this point I couldn't hear anything. I don't even remember the pitcher throwing the ball, the only thing I remember is the sound of my bat coming in contact with the ball and me taking off to first base. I was so proud of myself. I seriously thought I'd strike out.. Sadly though, right before I got to first base someone caught the ball and I was out. But I don't even care, it was SO much fun out there.. I was also on the out field. I didn't want to be on any base so when ever I wasn't batting I was on the outfield because I knew no one would hit the ball far enough to the back and I wouldn't have to do much. So I was just back their goofing off with another one of my friends... We lost. But that's okay... And when ever I got back onto the bleachers some of my friends told me good job and this one dude high fived me, and when I got all the way to the top with my friend group they all started congratulating me and stuff like that. One of my friends, if not most, thought that I wouldn't hit the ball, but I don't even care because I didn't think I would either. But it was a lot of fun. That's all I have to say. It was awesome.
