Positions In Baseball

In Baseball, each position has a number. First off, the number 1 position is the pitcher. The number 2 position is the catcher. The third postion is the first baseman. The fourth position is the second baseman. The fifth position is the third baseman. The sixth position on the baseball field is the short-stop. The seventh position on the baseball diamond is the left fielder. The eighth position on the baseball field is the center fielder and the ninth position on the diamond is the right fielder. Also, there is a special position called the designated hitter. The role of this position is for a very talented, normally power hitter, to take the hitting duties for the pitcher. Pitchers in baseball usually discontinue hitting in college so it's very easy to find this role in the college or pro level. You will find it sometimes in high school, but not as much.

My Favorite Game Shows

Some of my favorite games shows include: Jeopardy (even though I'm completely terrible at it), Wheel of Fortune (which is probably my favorite), Deal or No Deal (which I think is the most intense) and an 80's game show called Press Your luck. Wheel of Fortune is my favorite because I love puzzles. It's always fun for me to think out loud while watching Wheel of Fortune and it's always exciting to see where the wheel lands. Jeopardy is a trivia game which is fun to try and yell out the answer. I would be terrible though because I don't know all those facts and I'd probably forget to say "What is...." or "Who is...". Deal or No Deal is exciting to watch because of the risk involved in the game. It's always exciting to see someone pass up a half of a million dollars just to have a chance to win a million.

I like planets

Ever since I was a young kid, I always had an obsession with the planets. I started to take an interest in them when I turned 3 years old. I learned them in order and was very impressed. I was that annoying kid that went around sharing my knowledge that I though no one else knew. If you were ever around me when I was 3 years old, all you would ever hear was, “Mercury,Venus,Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto!” It always boosted my ego when everyone told me wow, you’re really smart or good job. I used to want to be an astrologist. When I heard that Pluto was no longer going to be a planet, I was quite upset.

The Importance of Hygiene

It is very important to make sure you bathe, brush your teeth, floss your teeth and wash your hair everyday. When one does not do these hygienic habits, one may start to smell offensively to other people. Bad hygienic habits can alter one’s opportunities in life such as: jobs, having friends, a good reputation and so on. When one bathes, many opportunities open up. People don’t talk about how bad one smells. In fact, people talk about how good one smells. When one makes the effort to be clean, self confidence goes up and people respect one more.

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly Couples at NGU..

One of my biggest pet peeves is public display of affection. I must admit that it is a serious issue at North Greenville University. There are some couples at NGU that are just out of line. I have seen couples making out in front of everyone at the student center, people laying out making out at the baseball field and couples who take classes together and hold hands while taking notes. I have no problem with a happy couple who watches TV in the stud together or just eating dinner together. But when couples are all over each other, it's really just inappropriate for everyone around. So if you are one of those PDA couples and you're reading this, please stop, it's really annoying.

Things to Do On the Weekends at North Greenville University

North Greenville is located in the lovely and metropolis town of Tigerville, South Carolina. There are many things to do in Tigerville on the weekends. The biggest attraction of Tigerville has to be the student center at NGU, where I currently am as I am writing this blog. If you don't find the student center to be exciting enough for your fancy, you can always play ping pong in the game room. Restaurants of Tigerville include, the '63 ~'64 Grill, the NGU cafeteria, Einstein Bagel Shop, or the infamous Thai and I. As for sports, NGU has a wide variety of them such as Baseball, Football, Softball, Soccer, Basketball and Cross Country!! So if you want to live the high life, you should stop by Tigerville at least once in your life time.

This weekend...

This weekend my baseball team didn't have any games so I decided to come home for the weekend! I first stopped by USC on friday to see some good old high school friends. After touring part of the campus, I made my way back to Charleston around 1130. I almost fell asleep at the wheel a few times but I made it home safely after all! Today I watched Furman play College of Charleston in baseball. It was a great ball game that was decided in the 6th inning when furman tied it up at 7 with a grand slam and never looked back. The final was 10-9. And now I'm writing my blog and dreading to have to drive back to Tigerville tomorrow.
