I graduated from Ursinus is 2003 with my Bachelor’s in Mathematics (and my Teaching Certificate). I still keep in touch with quite a few of my friends from college.
New York Yankees
Didn’t really think I could resist putting a link to my favorite baseball team in the world on here, did you? J I can’t even count how many Yankee games I have been to in my lifetime, sitting everywhere from the nosebleed section to right behind the Yankee dugout. I even had the opportunity to be part of the famous “Bleacher Creatures.” I can’t wait to visit the new Yankee Stadium in 2009.
