Rugby=over

Well, we had our final games this weekend. We played KU and won and it was very exciting. Then we played the Dragons, and ended up losing by 2 kicks. We each scored 3 trys but they made two of their kicks. Such is life. It was a lot of fun and I"m glad we went out on a good note. I got to wing one half of the Dragons game and scored a try...yay for me!

We had formal last night, after the games. I have to say, rather disappointing. I didn't even stay for senior gifts and willing and I have to say that I didn't really miss it. I'm pretty sure I'm not going to regret it. I am sorry that I couldn't see Kim and Steph will stuff and that sort of thing, but I got in a really bad mood. So I thought I should leave.

Went to a chem friend's party afterwards. That party was fun. Lots of drunk chem majors....always funny since I usually see them being so studious. There was lots of dancing and jungle juice and leis and saran wrap or duct tape outfits (it was supposed to be ABC) and good times! I didn't even drink that much last night....a total of 3 drinks. Still had a great time. Came home really late, well, 3am.

Elections were this morning and I have to say that it was the saddest showing ever. I think there were about 12 people there to vote (seriously, not being sarcastic) . It was a very weak showing for the team. I think the people elected will do OK in their positions, but there are 6 new people on exec, including the president. Interesting.

Anyway, that's the weekend in a nutshell. I have one week of classes which consists of 1 presentation, 4 tests and a lab practical. And then only one final next week. Coming up: Rugby Bar Crawl on Friday night, chem recognition things on Sat, wedding showers on Sat, shopping in Columbia :), AXE bar crawl, graduation, moving out of Kville, maybe a trip to TX to find an apartment, etc. Happy Spring!

Sorry its been so long :)

Its been a while but not a lot of exciting things have happened. The last 3 weekends, we've spent on the road to tournaments. Let me just say that I'm SUPER EXCITED to have a weekend off. Of the tournament weekends, I played 9 of 9 games, scored a couple of trys, and for the most part had a good time. We did take 2-9 hour trips...and let me tell you, those make for a long weekend. Western's was interesting but if you want to read the details, go to the team website. Natalie updates regularly.

In the realm of school work, well, I haven't had much. I'm glad I decided to take all freshman level classes this semester. There's not too much work or studying involved. Its great. I've ordered announcements for graduation, and filled out all of the necessary forms. I have to find my cap and gown...I think its shoved in my closet somewhere. Only like 12 class days left! I can't wait to graduate.

Summer plans include a trip to Hawaii with my family (and Cariss), camp, possibly CO and the Grand Canyon with my mom (with a detour to see my sister and twin...crosses fingers), working, and being a bum. I start orientation in Texas on Aug 15, so I"ll have to move down a couple of days early to set up my apartment.

That's all thats happening here! I hope you all have a great spring and rest of you semester if it applies!
