Most kids in college would be preparing to go home and enjoy 9 to 5 job in their hometown. With such perks as their parents home cooking and the ability to drive their own cars to the ballpark for their games.
On the other side, instead of heading east to my hometown of Mt.Pearl, Newfoundland, I am heading in the other direction west to Weyburn, SK. For me I have to pack all my things that I think I might need. I hope my billets understand that I enjoy to eat alot and like to do things for myself since thats how I have lived for 8 months. So when I pulled my suitcase out of the closet and cleaned the dust out I was contemplating how I was going to pack all of my stuff and avoid paying for an overweight bag. Like a ball player though first thing I did was clean my gear, so that my billets wouldn't be repulsed by the smell of victory ( a smell that comes from winning an OUA championship).Once all my stuff was out of the wash I packed it tight in my baseball bag, made sure all socks and belts were accounted for and that was the start. As the hours go by I think what should I bring, the weather is always warm, sometimes rainy. So of course all tee shirts and shorts head into the bag, the socks and other unmentionables will be put in the last day because they of course still have some usage before wednesday. Another vital part was finding some essentials such as cleats and turfs for the summer, so of course I shopped online and bought a new pair of both. Then as any other ball player would I headed across the border and purchased a hefty amount of dip to make it throughout the season without paying a ridiculous price. So as the hours tick by, I still add other things to my suitcase. Stay tuned to see what the next day of prep will bring, most likely it will discuss my workout regime as opening day gets closer.
