San-Jo, you know!
So I'm heading to San Jose tomorrow (or San Francisco is close too...its really Redwood City) for the Stanford Rowing Invitational. I'm pretty stoked. I hope we get to see Stanfords campus or the redwood trees or somthing. We have three races in two days against Tennessee, Clemson, and Central Florida. I guess we're staying at some 5 star resort -- bathrobes and slippers provided!! :x I've never stayed at a place that nice. I guess theres only like 15 of them in the world. Check it out --->(http://www.sofitel.com/sofitel/fichehotel/gb/sof/0922/fiche_hotel.shtml) The coach polls just came out again today at we're ranked SIXTH in the country. For those that dont know, thats like huge. Even though polls dont mean shit, its still nice to be recognized. Its just like basketball or football rankings...its out of all the division I schools in the the country...someone estimated about 60. So things are going well this year.
I graduate three weeks from Saturday. CRAZY. Im starting to go through that weird thankful but really sad its almost over, nostalgic, I wish it wasnt over kinda phase. Its weird. I keep thinking that years down the road I'll be wishing I was the age I am right now and doing what I'm doing right now. So I'm just trying to take it all in and enjoy it.
Got up at 4:45am this morning for practice...I'm tired.
This looked like fun, so why the heck not....
Snagged from Lindsey who snagged it from Meagan who snagged it from somebody who snagged it from somebody...and the vicious snagging circle goes on.
