sorry i haven't updated in a loooong time....this college life is so busy! homework, practices, classes, friends, and other stuff
i'll start off with my birthday
i turned 18! and i opened my presents at 12:01...cause i'm cool like that. i don't really remember what i got, money, a mug and cute little puppy dog (stuffed), candy, two movies, and cards. thankyou to all of you who sent me cards! it made my day! anyways, woke up and felt sick :( i had a sore throat and stuffy nose, not fun. went to classes, came back and did something (i can't remember), went running, showered, went over to the cc girls house where we had spaghetti and cake. came back to the dorms and had cake. nothing extremely exciting. i was actually kinda homesick then, so it wasn't that much fun. but i recovered.
that sunday, the 28th, was my roommates birthday, she turned twenty. anyways, in the morning i went for a long run at the greenway(remember this place, it comes up later) and tripped and fell, but no harm done, just a slight bruise on my shin. then i camehome showered, and spent the rest of the day with emelie (my roommate) and her family. we ate a pf changs, it was actually really good. then we went shopping, or browsing rather and came back to the dorms. i then had an athletic meeting which was really boring.
nothing else really happened that week, school, practice, sleep, eat. nothing extremely exciting
that friday (sept 2nd) i left for my first college meet. watched anchorman on the way to the meet (i know so many people who would be proud of me for finally watching it). got to the hotel, changed, went to the course and ran it easy, went back to the hotel, changed, went to dinner. this dinner took forever. it took them an hour to get us our food, and we had reservations! stupid people! anyways, interesting stuff from the dinner- seth (one of the guys on the team) is really romantic-too bad he has a girlfriend. gaines, brad and marcus can eat anything and everything-they finished everyones leftovers. we were so hungry that we almost started eating the plants. pretty much sums it up. o and we got free stuff on the way up--aka our uniforms, sports bra, bag, spikes all the good stuff
saturday-race day. woke up, went to the course, and waited. my parents and bro showed up :) we watched the guys race. they kicked ass- 6 in the top 10. kicked ass. then we warmed up and raced. i ran a 17:20 for a 4k, which ends up being 21:40 for a 5k if i kept the same pace. which is good for me for this time of year, but i want to go faster this weekend. after the meet we went up to duke to see SHREYA!!!!i was so excited. she doesn't know her campus very well, dork! but i love her. we got lost, we got a ticket, and then shreya and i hung out for awhile at her dorm. it was nice. then we left, ate at applebee's. my daddy got mad. get this he goes "so brook seems nice" and i was like, yea she is. (brook being a teammate of mine). then he goes "shreya seems nice too". well i blew up. i go "yea, cause i've known her since sixth grade, i hope she would SEEM nice. try she is nice." and he thinks i blew it out of proportion,but whatever. came back home. parents stayed for awhile, ruining an evening i could've spent with marcus (guy on the team), but i still love em.
sunday-woke up (first time i got to sleep in since i'd been at WU) and went out to breakfast. then to wal-mart to get a ton of food. which i needed. and the new josh kelley cd. then went back to the dorm, unloaded, and headed to practice at the greenway. parents left. while at the greenway i fell and scraped my knee and my hand a little bit, nothing too bad.
tuesday the 6th- practice, classes, practice, then off to davidson! courtney (a girl on my floor) had to go to davidson for a class thing, and so i went with her so i could see dj. we just walked around and talked, but we had fun. i miss people from home. plus they have hott guys there! (so does duke, why did my school get screwed?) but we had fun, imissed him. came back went to sleep
thursday-first college exam--i'm thinking i got a 80? maybe i'll be lucky if i get that, but i know next time what she expects us to know. then movie night. we watched supertroopers with the guys from richardsons 2nd floor. which was fun
and now to this weekend, which i'll copy and paste from mine and meghan's conversation
i went to a volleyball game on friday, came home iced my legs, woke up saturday, went for a five mile tempo run, came back showered, went to wal-mart, watched the michigan game, went to dinner, went to another volleyball game, watched the movie Crash over at tillman, came home, slept in for an hour today, went running, fell and hurt myself, came back showered, went to lunch, went outside and did homework, came back and went to study hall for four hours, came back, had dinner, and talked to you (meghan) and now i'm typing this
so today's run sucked. 80 minutes, which wasn't bad, except halfway through i fell and hurt myself pretty badly. i scraped the skin off part of my shin, my shoulder, my hand, right below my elbow, and my knee. i can't cross my legs, or sleep on my shoulder, or shave, or put anything over the scraped parts, the t-shirt i'm wearing right now hurts. so today hasnt been that great. but whatever. and michigan lost yesterday to notre dame, which totally stinks cause now nick has bragging rights for another year! i can't believe it! whatever, we'll get em next year.
and to end on a good note, mark this date on your calendars-Sept. 22....i willbe going to the josh kelley concert in charlotte!!!!!i get to see josh kelley live!!!! i can't wait!!!!!1 thats going to be so much fun!
o and ihave a home meet this weekend, and davidson is coming, so i'll get to see dj again.
i miss everyone sooooo much!
