The aftermath

Wow, its been 10 days since my last post? I guess nothing really has really happened, or has been "thought provoking" recently. I guess this will be a pretty random blog.

It has been a month, and I guess all the "studying" I force myself to do has made this month go by faster, and I gues somewhat easier. Still struggling at times, and just really sadden by how some things have changed. Still praying and hoping it would go back to the way it was, but I have a feeling that it won't, but who knows. Just still praying and seeking for His comfort and directions, and more importantly learning to trust in His timing more than my own.

Last exam on Wednesday, been trying to focus, but with the nice weather outside, its hard!

Leaving in a little less than 5 days, which means I will miss the Lumas orientation...hopefully I can still fit in when I return =D. Looking forward to this softball season. Congrats to Mr. Head Coach (Darren) for getting baptized today.

Random sports thoughts:
Jays are off to a decent start, nice to see the offence really coming along. The pitching staff has been struggling, but hope that will come along slowly with Halladay and AJ in the rotation now. Chris Shelton is absolutely destroying every ball he sees right now, Wells is getting off to a good start for once, and Johan Santana is off to his typical not-so-impressive April starts.
Interesting run the Leafs had to try to make the playoffs. Wonder where this type of play was between January and early-March when we only won a whopping 3 games in regulation. Interesting how the team really came together when the guys acquired in the off-season are out of the lineup (Lindros, Khavanov, Allison, Czer got picked up by Boston). Looks like Pat Quinn will be given his papers in the off-season, even though I think Richard Peddie and John Ferguson Jr. should be the ones going. Lets hope the Leafs can do something decent in the off-season and rebuild the team. We got some decent building blocks but won't be a contender for at least a few more seasons.
How about the Raptors, losing 10 straight after CB4 went out with an injury, and then defeating the Pistons (granted, Pistons were playing with their reserves majority of the game). I think Sam Mitchell will be around for next year, and the team's performance next season will dictate whether he stays or goes beyond next season. Hopefully next year will be a better year with the rookies having gained experience this season. With a thin draft this year, doesn't look like we will be getting any immediately help with our draft picks. With the addition of GM and President Bryan Colangelo, hopefully we will gain some creditibility back, and maybe get a couple of free-agents this off-season to play with CB4, and maybe even resign Mike James.

More to come later when I decide to procrastinate again.
