With Spring Break and a solid week of class behind us, time just keeps ticking for Tiger softball and the rest of the Trinity campus. At this point in the semester, life as a student-athlete can seem hectic, yet monotonous at times: class, practice, study, maybe eat and sleep somewhere in between, and repeat... But this is when that extra effort really starts to count. As the inevitable end-of-term papers begin to creep up, so does the much-awaited core of our season: conference play. Just as those long hours spent in the library are finally coming to fruition, all the scraped elbows and bruised legs are getting ready to put it on the line for a whole new ball game.
We have much to look forward to in the upcoming weeks: traveling to new places (Sherman, TX this weekend and then Conway, AR the following weekend - a definite first for me!), watching ridiculous YouTube videos with teammates in hotel rooms instead of studying (beware of Shamu!), spending our last few weeks with our beloved seniors, and of course, some competitive softball. One of my greatest delights in the arrival of April is the hopefully now-permanent appearance of the familiar Texas heat. It's not softball season without sunshine, and as it makes its debut after rainy March, so does a new team, alight to the promises of spring.
