Homestand #2

So my second homestand with the Padres is officially over. The list of words to describe it: endless. Exhausting, I am working on about three hours of sleep a night and barely getting any homework done (hence the reason this blog is late), exhilarating, the joy and excitement that comes from being around people who have the same passions I do never ceases to make the sleepless nights worth it, confusing, it is hard to find my place among the broadcasting and Channel 4 team because I am only the intern, but I feel like I'm where I belong so my ultimate expendability is hard to balance, lesson-filled, not a game goes by where I do not learn something new from someone else, whether it be Jen, the sideline and post-game girl, John the post-game show guy, Annie, the UT rep, or Mike, the stats guy, and not last, but last for the sake of this blog, memorable. The memories I have made, the connections I have forged, and the lessons I have learned will stay with me the rest of my life and someday when I have my own intern I will share these experiences with them and can only hope I have half as much knowledge to pass on to them as I have learned in the last month. 140 games to go!
