My name is AllisonO'Brien. I received my first degree in Communications from the University of South Alabama in December 2005. I am currently working on my second degree at the University of Alabama. This time I am going for Elementary Education.

I recently joined a coed softball league. This has been fun except for the many injuries my team has already received. Before our first game in pre-season two of our players, one guy and one girl, were warming up together. Another player was practicing batting. Well the batter said head's up and the guy warming up looked up. Well the girl he was warming up with did not hear the head's up and she threw the ball at him. It hit him directly in the nose. He ended up having to get 3 stitches where his nose busted open. He also had to have surgery two fix where it was broke in two places.

The second injury happened in week 1 of the regular season. A girl was up to bat and hit the ball off the small end of her bat and it popped up and hit her in the face. She had to go to the hospital and get five stitches.

Last week we played game 3. Well no one on our team got hurt, but we did accidentally hurt the other team. A girl hit the ball between 2nd and 3rd base. While she was running to first our player through the ball to first and it ended up hitting her in the side of her face. She ended up being ok and able to finish the game.

We are 3-0 and have our next game tonight. Go AJM Softball!!!!
