A night in a hotel...

For most people a night in hotel might mean a number of different things, and maybe even kind of “exciting” if you will. But to me it is far from anything similar to a vacation or fun. The reason for this is because I play football and baseball for UCD and with college sports comes with a lot of traveling. Although this might sound like it would be a lot of fun, which it is, it all comes with a price. It is very common for me to miss two to three days of class due to traveling and because of this student-athletes are forced to do all they’re class work and homework on the road or in hotel rooms, which is exactly why I have gave the title of the blog “A night in a hotel”. I don’t think that anybody in the right mind would WANT to do homework when traveling and staying in hotels, but for student athletes it is something we just have to accept. Staying in a hotel means that someone is away from home and doing something at of the norm, which is something most people would enjoy from they’re chaotic normal lifestyles, but not to us. To student athletes, hotels just mean hectic traveling routines, long bus rides, and long nights in hotel rooms doing homework when others would be having a much better time. Even though I am only a second year in college I have seen the inside of enough hotels that I can tell you the basic outline of a hotel and the rooms just by knowing the name of the resort or hotel. So just remember the next time you are staying in a hotel, probably for vacation, that a night in a hotel room can mean a number of different things for different people.
