Hello readers!
Well, I hate to say it, but our May Term is over. Upon our return to Cedar Rapids, we unpacked, did laundry, and dug into our writing assignments. We had our final class period on Saturday, where we held conferences to discuss some of the essays we were working on. It was nice to get some feedback and also hear what my classmates were writing about. Our final meal was at Xavier's, a pizza place right near Coe. It was an excellent lunch; we essentially threw inside jokes around and talked baseball.
What's not to love about that?
It was a bittersweet moment. After you travel with people for more than 100 hours in a van and cover more than 6000 miles, you definitely bond with them. We saw a lot of really good baseball and I know, I learned a lot about the game and myself.
And I sure wasn't baseballed out. As I unpacked, I immediately turned on my TV to WGN to watch the Cubs and watched Junior Lake hit two homeruns in consecutive at bats. I know baseball will be a common thread in my summer life and that excites me.
The past couple of days, everyone in our class has been hard at work on our final portfolios. We wrote and revised and turned in good work. Our email to Dr. Bob with our final portfolios (due at midnight tonight) means the class is truly over.
As a class, we want to thank you for following our adventures. Make sure to go back and double check you've read all the posts (some got added recently). We're sad this blog (and our trip) is over, but summer stretches out in front of us and we can only hope we will see more seventh inning stretches, catch more foul balls, and eat more dollar hot dogs.
Signing off, the blog captain and the eighth inning stretch crew.
