The Dbacks are terrible this year, bottom of their division and just generally bad. But, Chase Field is a nice place to watch a game, and with the roof closed, it is very comfortably air conditioned. Still strange for me to watch a game in a dome--it doesn't quite seem right, but when the other option is 108 degrees at a game time of 6:40pm, I'll take the dome.
On Tuesday, the Dbacks lost to the Reds. I convinced 16 TAs to attend the game. We took the lightrail to downtown and got tickets for $10 from scalpers. The seats were on the top deck, hence the bird's eye view of the field. On Friday, I went with a friend of friends from SoCal who is doing his undergrad at ASU. He bought us great seats down the first baseline. After every Friday game, they open the roof and shoot off fireworks. Nice way to spend an evening.
This is the first full week of classes, and I definitely feel like I'm back in school. I've posted 2 reading responses already and have 2 more due on Wednesday. My students seem great, although they may be mad at me for assigning a bunch of homework on the first day. Oh well, I can deal with it.
