I deleted the thread I started on my dd. I have my reasons. Still, there are so many things that I think have happened to BB that can help you all. I thought I'd post some stuff from this weekend.
BB's team's games were cancelled this weekend. BB is so stressed. She blew out the side of her hitting shoes and needed to get another pair. We ran money over to her and wow did we get caught up on all the goings on. First her apartment looked terrible. She had posters and other stuff all over the place. She has 3 different projects due this coming week and is battling for time to get it all done. She doesn't have time to get the shoes although her and her boyfriend did as she took a break last night. She talked about her classroom practicum and how the school's assigned evaluator can't make it on day other than Thursdays and BB has had to leave to go to tournaments on Thursdays. So, this weekend that finally got done. BB said it was like a mountain of stress slid off of her back but then only to have the projects assigned. As she was working, she got a message that her virus protection was "illegal" and to click on ... Thank goodness she didn't do that. I called our tech person and he opened her computer from his house. It was an attempt to hack her. From there, her computer battery went dead. So, we have to get her a new battery. She just kept talking and the dam burst forth. Mostly about team stuff and how she feels all of this pressure and how she was carrying snow off the field and hurt her back and stomach ... As a parent it is hard to take it listening to her. She'll be fine but needed to vent some and just talk to mom and dad. We have told her she doesn't have to have straight A's. We have tried to tell her to laugh when she plays and stop worrying about failing. When we left there, I was not sure whether softball was a blessing or a curse. Anyway, I called today and she's fine. For those of you that have your dds headed far from you or already there, it might be a good idea to skype them once in a while.
