Sunday Scaries

Sundays have this very specific, heavy energy that hits around 5:00 PM. The weekend isn’t technically over yet, but it feels like it is. Even if the day was good, the thought of Monday morning starts taking over. It isn’t always about having a test or homework due the following day, sometimes it’s just the dread of knowing the routine is starting all over again. It’s the part of the night when all I want to do is relax, but instead, I’m procrastinating on the one last thing I have to do while scrolling on my phone.

There is comfort knowing that almost everyone else is probably doing the exact same thing. We’re all just trying to stretch out the last few hours of the night as much as possible. Instead of being prepared for the week, sometimes all I can do is go to bed and make it tomorrow’s problem. By the time I’m finally ready for sleep, I usually just give up on trying to convince myself that the night is still young and that the weekend is over. I used to try to fight it and stay up as late as possible, but now I’m starting to realize that the more I dread Monday, the worse it actually feels.

Half of my Sunday is spent just waiting for Monday to happen, and it’s such a waste of a day. Most of the time, the week isn’t even as bad as I imagined it would be on Sunday. Even though Friday and Sunday are both on the weekend, I feel totally different on both days. On Friday, I feel like I have all the time in the world, and I’ll never feel stressed again. When it reaches Sunday, I always regret not just getting all of my work done during all the free time I had on Saturday.

A Sad Day For OVS Baseball

LetsGetSendyy6767Leave a comment

The OVS baseball season started yesterday with a game against another local team, Vilanova. Vilanova is historically horrible at baseball, and that trend continues this year. The difference this year is that the OVS baseball team has taken many hits in its lineup and now consists of a forced-together team that does not play baseball. We were embarrassed by Vilanova after we lost 1-0, with 1 hit the entire game. Coach Pankratz was not pleased to say the least, and feels that the team simply isn’t trying in practice, and it reflects in the way we play. I think the problem is simply the lack of experience and not that we are not trying. What went wrong in the game did not relate to effort and were simple errors from never having played before. Fumbled ground balls were still blocked, which takes an effort. What I could take away from this game was not that we didn’t try hard enough, but that we have not played enough. I do feel that coach Pankratz was too hard on the team and that punishing us in practice is not an ideal way to address this loss. Rather than taking out our frustration on the new team and new players, we should be constructive in practice and really get down to the fundamentals of baseball.
