Summer Job

I was able to get a summer job recently, as a way to have a little extra spending cash and some money to save for future things like college and a mission.

I was able to get hired at one of the local Subways in my area about a week ago. I am working part-time, about three to four days a week, which allows for me to still have time for other summer activities. While my shifts including closing the restaurant and leaving around midnight, it still isn’t too bad of a job. It pays decently, especially since Oregon has the second highest minimum wage in the country. I also get a free six inch sub each sub, so I don’t go hungry.

It looks like it will be a pretty decent job, and while I probably don’t want to become a professional sandwich maker as my career, it will be nice to be receiving pay checks.

4A Baseball State Champions

My high school has been at it again with the athletics, only this time it has been with the baseball team. It seems that our school has had all the success in the world lately. We have several athletes that are going to compete in the Pac-10 next year, and it has shown in our achievements.

This year going into the baseball season we were ranked number one in state at the 4A level, and one of the best in state at all levels. Only one loss occurred during the whole entire season, and it was at the last second to a 6A team.

We reached the championship game without to much difficulty. The baseball team as made it to the finals three out of the four past years after only have one playoff win in school history all previous years. This big leap has been in part from the arrival of coach Dave Gasser, who won the state championship the first year he was here. He is the most career wins as a baseball coach in the state of Oregon.

The Astoria Fishermen showed why they have been so dominate this season, and had control of the game for the most part. A late rally made it close for a little while, until we sent in our ace pitcher to close out the game. Below is links to stories, videos, and pictures from the game.
