The semester has continued to fly by and it’s already time to start selecting classes for next semester. Now that we’re almost two weeks into practice the team is looking really good and we’re counting down the days until our first game against Yale. Today happens to be our day off from practice, which gives me a chance to go out to dinner tonight to celebrate my birthday with my roommates! When this time rolls around next week, we’ll be preparing for our scrimmage against Hartford and the season will be underway!

With two more workouts to go this week, I’ll be on a plane home to Maryland Friday afternoon!  This coming weekend is Columbus Day weekend and with no classes or workouts on Monday or Tuesday, we get a four day weekend.  I am so excited to go visit my family for the weekend and am really looking forward to spending time with them.  Fortunately, my younger brother’s fourteenth birthday is Sunday, so I will be able to celebrate with him while I am home.  After break, we will be officially starting practice on October 17th, which means we are that much closer to our first game on November 15th!  Classes have been going well and midterms are quickly approaching, so I’ll be busier than ever with studying for tests and writing papers over the next couple of weeks.  It is beginning to get much colder outside, especially when walking up to lift in the morning with my teammates Bethany and Tayana, although there have been a good number of unusually warm days here and there. But after Columbus break I am anticipating the cold weather to come full force.  So I’m hoping for some nice warm weather at home this weekend and will be ready to get the season started with practice upon my return!
