    First semester was fantastic. Grades are still coming in, and they're a little better than I anticipated but about where they should be considering the goals I set for myself at the start of the year. I've lived and breathed UConn for my entire life, so every second I spend on campus is a dream come true. I even made it up to Fenway about a month ago to see my two favorite things collide: UConn and the Sox.

    Good for you, Thunder.
    Priorities:
    1. Yankees lose
    2. Red Sox win

    I think we all are happy that Thunder is doing well in college.

    He is one of US.

Because an ace in run-prevention for 120 innings means more often than not, a sub-standard pitcher covering for the rest of the IP that pitcher fails to provide. You can't see value in a vacuum when a player does not provide full-time production."

    Snow Day # 5 coming up tomorrow, and that doesn't include the 2 days that we had off for the weekend.

    On the bright side, it's supposed to be near 70 degrees here on Friday.

    At what point ( how many days ) do they decide to extend the school year? That is the question. A day off now is nice but you may wish to have school end one day earlier in June!

    Nowadays they take away Feb or April break if too many snow days have happened. Sometimes they’ll do half days on Saturdays depending on the union contract.

    They won't add days to the end of the year. They will use all of our single day holidays and teacher workdays first. Then, if needed, they will extend the school day by 20 minutes until the time is made up.

    In this area, we don't have a February break. They will not use the April break due to too many complaints. We have had Saturday make up days before, but the attendance on those days was not very good. They stopped doing that.

    I havent been able to check in for a couple weeks. This place is DEADDDDDDDDD. Holy shit, I know its the offseason...but I never remember this place being this dead.

    Th Redsox just arent that interesting. Simple as that I guess. They are in danger of falling to #4 in terms of fan interest. Patriots have been #1 for quite a while now, followed by the die hard Bruins fans and the re-emerging Celtics Fans.

    All the pink hats are gone!!!!!

    They may be #4 right now, it always changes in the spring. Hard to keep the interest up when no signings are being made and the other 3 teams are playing great. There's only so many times you can talk about JD Martinez.

    Hey, y'all. Football season ends tomorrow, so I have emerged from my winter thaw (not really, as I stood in line for 3 hours in single digit temps earlier). What's up everybody?

    Howdy Thunder. Nothing is up. Nothing at all. Everyone is sitting around, staring at the walls, waiting for baseball season to start.

    That should really make Thunder want to be just like us when he grows up.
