So if the White Sox win tonight, then they will win the World Series. One more game. I think I'm not so much shocked but more just so happy that I can barely believe it. I mean it's the White Sox. The team that was leading the Central Division by 15 games and then watched that lead slip to a game and a half. They almost didn't even make the ( Read more... )

White Sox update which I know that you've all been expecting. I hate close games. I really do. They make my stomach hurt and I get nervous and have to watch most of it with my hand over my eyes.

So I realized today that no matter how much you wish and pray for something, it just may not happen. And that doesn't mean that your prayers weren't answered. It just means that it wasn't the right time. So I'm giving up. Something I should have done weeks ago. This from the girl whose last entry was about hope, but I think that as far as that ( Read more... )

Last year, after the Red Sox won the World Series my dad sent me this "Sports Illustrated" article. It was a compilation of stories from Red Sox fans about the season and how it felt. One guy watched the final game in the delivery room as his wife gave birth to their first child. Another story was about an eighty-year old man who was a life-long ( Read more... )

I want to be a teacher in an inner city school somewhere on the East coast and help those students get the education that they deserve. I want to go on a service trip to a third world country. I want to go skydiving. I want to live in New York and teach English courses at NYU ( Read more... )
