Today being Monday already feels like it is taking forever....which makes it seem like Wednesday will never be here!! Probably because the only thing standing between me and summer break is my final on Wednesday that I have no motivation to study for :/. I think I have pre-senioritis Lol

And on top of finals being this week, our track conference meet is this weekend at Berea College in Kentucky! I am excited to attend this meet and defend my two conference titles! I am also excited to watch and encourage my other teammates and try to capture a Team Conference Championship Title!

I think when school and track are completely over I am going to sleep for 3 days straight lol and then dive into summer 2013! Again I wish everyone the best of luck with finals, finish the semester strong! And make this summer the best you have ever had

dancing our way to Pittsburgh

Have you ever been to Pittsburgh? I’ll tell you what. Being a part of the athletic program here at IU East has given me the opportunity to travel to places I have never been and probably wouldn’t have gone in my lifetime.

Pittsburgh. Two universities from Pittsburgh entered into our conference, thus, giving my tennis team the opportunity to travel to the BIG, CONGESTED, HILLY, BUSY, CRAMMED IN, POPULATED city. It was like nothing I had ever seen before. The way to city was constructed and built just had me in awe. I’m from Indy, so I thought I knew what city life looked and felt like. But driving around this place just made me speechless. It was nothing like Indianapolis.

If you get the chance to leave home or your area, DO IT! Being exposed to new and different things can really open up your eyes to what else is out there. Sometimes I think we feel like the world consists of us, our family, friends, and the people we see every day. Well you’re dead wrong!

Go see the world.

Let me tell you about my best frienddddd uhh

I have 6 very lovely best friends ----> Breezy Strete, April Acree, Amanda Dana, Cheryl Rutherford, Cari Dew , and last but not least Miss Lauren Crump who this very blog is about!

I am writing this blog about Lauren because it just happens to be her 21rst birthday today!!!!!!! <----I feel more excited for her birthday than I was for my own birthday lol.

But let me start off by thanking Lauren and Breezy for giving me the best birthday week EVER! I am normally not one for surprises but they got me good. When I got home from my track meet on Saturday both Lauren an Breezy planned a night in, so I joined them and then I went with Lauren to go get a movie, and when I got home and opened Breezys door there EVERYONE was! My face was most likely priceless lol and I honestly was speechless. And they had a poster in which all of my friends signed, I loved it! This is the first time I have ever really felt my age...Time sure does fly <3

That being said, Lauren is finally turning 21 and I cannot begin to tell you how amazing this girl is! Lauren is one of the most determined, hardworking, beautiful, loyal friends I have ever had the privilege of knowing and being roommates with. And needless to say she has is talented on the volleyball court and in the classroom! I just want to say you finally made it to 21, and I am so proud of you

I hope you have an absolutely AMAZING birthday, and an even better weekend. Mucho Loveeeeeee

Spring is here

Spring is here and track is in full effect!!

The season got under way this past weekend, opening at Wabash College. The weather was perfect and we proved that all those months of hard work is definitely going to pay off. Four records were broken, and we had a lot of top three placements. You can check out the meet results and read the summary at --->http://www.iueredwolves.com/article/1603.php

In other news, can anyone else believe this weather we are having?! Last year at this time..i feel like there was still snow on the ground and it rained constantly! I am not complaining about the summer like weather but it sure does make it hard to go to class. I am beyond excited that we have a mere 6 weeks left of this semester and then I can finally call myself a SENIOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <--I obviously can't wait lol

We Have Made It Half Way!!

If you would have asked me in the summer if I would make it this far..I would have told you no! This semester and last semester have been crazy, I am still in shock at how much my brain can hold, and I can handle myself in certain situations of surmounting pressure! I know I still have a couple weeks until the semester is over and I will FINALLY be a senior but I have to say that I am starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel ( in a good way ) Lol.

In other news, the track season has begun and we have our first track meet this Sautrday..Saint Patty's Day! Our team has been working very hard, and I am feeling good about the meet! I am just hoping that the weather corporates. My only complaint about track season is, that I have literally never been on a spring break trip because workouts and meets always cross paths with track commitments. So I admire all track athletes for sucking it up and being at practice & competing. Because let me tell you how awful it is too look at all of your friends Spring Break pictures and they are having an absolute blast. Instead i can only dream about beaches, and sunshine!

I know this post is short but what can I say, lol I am in complete Spring Break mode! Hope you all enjoy, be safe wherever you are and come back ready and focused to finish up the semester strong!

A Record Breaking Weekend….

This weekend was both good and bad. Let me start by telling you about the bad. First, I was in class from 8-4 on Friday and then i had to go straight to work from 5-9......and on top of that I started to feel sick <--------Okay, I just wanted to complain a little lol that was a super long day. But anyways on to the good news!

I had my first indoor track meet of the season at Anderson University! I entered myself into the shot-put, and me fellow teammate Vanessa Legg competed in the high jump, shot-put, and 200 meter. Vanessa won the high jump and did really well in the 200! I placed third overall in the shot-put and shattered the school record! So needless to say it was a very successful weekend, and I am proud of both her and I I also posted the results of the entire me---> http://www.directathletics.com/results/track/23110.html

Also the movie The Vow came out, and I dragged my roommate Lauren Crump to go see it! I won't tell you guys all of the details.......but I loved it, it was a slight tear jerker and I would def. recommend you go see it. I also have to ask, why the heck are movie theaters so cold all the time??
