Life's a dance you learn as you go, sometimes you lead, sometimes you follow...The problem is not that there are problems. The problem is expecting otherwise and thinking that having problems is a problem.

So it's Hump Day again.  We just got back from the guys basketball game and they finally won!!  I had a chem quiz today....I'm scared to find out what I got.  I mean, why does it matter what is soluble with what...when am I going to use this stuff?  Never.  So it snowed about a foot over the weekend, and I got to go sledding (thank you for the sled secret sister!)  We also made snow cream, which was delicious even if we were eating acid rain.  Right now my car has a foot of snow on it, so hopefully I'll get a chance to uncover it tomorrow before it collapses.  Guess what!!!!  Melissa, Sarah, and I are going to go see Lord of the Dance!!!  I'm so excited!  Our meet on Saturday was cancelled because of the snow, so now Temple is coming on Friday with Wisconsin.  I'm unfortunately only competing bars on Friday , but I guess I can use this as an incentive to work that much harder on my vaults.  

I've been contemplating what I am going to do this summer.  I don't know if want to go back home and find a job at home, or stay up here and tour guide and also work somewhere else.  If I stay up here it costs $80 a week to stay on campus if you have an on-campus job.  I hate having to make decisions.  My weekend is shot this weekend.  I have to coach all day on Satuday because the team girls have a clinic, and then on Sunday Sarah and I have to go observe at Gold's Gym for our Wellness and Fitness Programming class.  I'll have to force myself to get work done Saturday evening. 

So far my frogs, Timone and Pumba, are doing well.  They're so cute!  I must admit that I am a very paranoid owner, mainly because my other frogs didn't last very long.  I hope they stay healthy and keep growing.  They are especially cute when and after they eat because they get a boost of energy.  I'll have to take pictures of them so everyone can see!

OK, well I should probably get to reading CIE.

So it's hump day.....nothing much exciting has happened except that Jeff gave us the day off.  We really needed it.  I think we will do better this weekend now that we had this day off.  We've just been mentally and physically exhausted after only having Sunday off of doing gymnastics, with classes starting back, and our bodies getting use to practicing in the evening now instead of in the morning.  Classes are, well, they're classes.  My ESS class is actually kind of interesting.  I don't think CIE will be too bad either.  Chem is a different story though.  I wish I had my professor from last semester.  I feel like I learned better with her teaching style.  I survived the first day of dance yesterday, and to use my mother's term, it's going to be "interesting."  She always says that when she doesn't have the heart to tell us that she doesn't like whatever it is that we're asking her about.  OK well this entry is going to have to be short because I've got to go eat supper, go to the women's B-ball game, work for student athlete day, then I'm going to Pfahler to get some more work done.  Happy Hump Day!!

Wow, so it's only the first day of classes, and my head is already about to explode.  Chem is going to kill me this semester .  I already don't know what the professor is talking about.  Luckily Laura is in my class so we will be able to work together on the homework assignments .  I was good and actually went to the fitness center after coaching and then went to Pfahler to do my work.  Stats is way too much reading and writing for me to consider it a math class.  I wish I could just take calc.  Oh well, what can you do.....I have dance tomorrow for an hour and forty minutes......talk about suicide.  I don't know how I'm going to dance for that long.....I HATE dancing.  All I've got to say is thank god Jill's in my class!  She'll save me .  Oh the things your advisors will talk you into.  So I finally got my new grips.  Practice went ok.....Jeff informed us that we're only vaulting twice a week which kind of upsets me.  Vaulting was one of our downfalls this weekend so I feel that we should do it more than twice a week.  It's also my second favorite event and I only get to do it twice now.  Ugghh.  Jeff also informed us that we each need to set up a time to meet with him for thirty minutes.  I'm scared !!!  I'm probably going to meet with him tomorrow...wish me luck!  Ok well I'm going to shower and read some more CIE.  Night everyone!!!!

Feels Like Today

 So I decided I needed one of these things because it will serve as a stress reliever.  I don't really know what I'm doing so it may be all screwed up.  We'll see.....  So we had our first meet of the season yesterday at MIT and we won!!!!  Way to go UC Gymnastics!  I did vault and bars (which is all I care to do ).  I was a little worried about vault because warm-up didn't go very well, but luckily it turned out ok.  Bars was CRAZY.  I'm in desparate need of new grips, but they're on back order so they haven't come in yet.  Needless to say, I'm having a hard time gripping the bar because my grips are so stretched.  I was all over the place during my routine, but somehow I managed to make everything in my routine.  Classes start tomorrow, and my schedule completely sucks.  This semester is going to be sooo hard.  I'm coaching four days a week and tour guiding two days a week.  I'm going to force myself to go to Pfahler to get my work done after coaching every night.  I really need to do better this semester than I did last semester.  On that note, I'm going to get organized for tomorrow and get some more CIE read.  Have a good first day of classes everyone at UC!
