Almost Break!

It's almost time for Thanksgiving break! This also means that we are nearing the end of the semester. After break we will have one week of classes and then finals week, and that's it. I've been kind of busy working on final papers, and some teachers have even started handing out study guides for finals. It kind of feels like I am on a neverending homework cycle! When I finish my homework for Monday, Wednesday, or Friday, it seems like it's time to start the homework for Tuesday or Thursday.
We are also fully engaged in our winter softball workouts. We lift and hit three days a week and do sprints and pitch two days a week. I can't wait for our spring season to start, which won't be too long. We will start practices shortly after Christmas break, and our first games are in Tuscon, Arizona at the beginning of March.
On top of school and softball, we just finished our regular season for intramural basketball. We played about two nights a week for about four weeks. Our team was undefeated. YAY! Playoffs will begin sometime after Thanksgiving. It should be pretty exciting.
That's prett much all I have been up to lately.
Until next time,
Erica

Nasty Weather!

Wow! That weather just can't decide what it wants to do. The beginning of the week was so nice. We were walking outside without our coats on and even going outside to play catch for our softball workouts. It was absolutely beautiful! Then about midweek, Mother Nature decided to switch it up on us. I ended up pulling out my winter coat after the snow we got Thursday night!
This cold weather isn't really helping the cold I've had the last 2 weeks. While I've been "under the weather" I have pretty much spent my days going to class and sleeping. I found myself taking a nap with every bit of free time I had. So I called home to good old Dr. Mom and figured out what I needed to start taking to get over that nasty cold and now it's almost cleared up.
We had Blue and Gold Days/Family Weekend on campus here this weekend. My family didn't make it because of the weather (that weather has been trying to put a damper on everything). They had to stay home. Dad wasn't expecting snow this early, so my family had to stay and get some the rest of the fall farmwork finished up before it really starts snowing. So I planned on sticking around and going to the basketball games, but then that nasty weather took care of those too! I ended up going the the Fall Play, To Gillian on her 37th Birthday. The cast and everyone involved did a great job!
Though the games were cancelled and the weather made for a rather quiet weekend, I still didn't get much work done. There's something about bad weather that just makes you feel unproductive. With the rest of my free time this weekend, I watched movies and started decorating for Christmas (the snow must have put me in the Christmas spirit).
The basketball games from the weekend were rescheduled for the beginning of the week. Hopefully the weather cooperates!!!
